Today we continue our newest series… When that must-have bedding has caught your eye and it is time to plan the rest of the room!

Oh… How Design Diva adores the DwellStudio’s Paper Dolls Crib Bedding Set! For the enchanting Paper Dolls design, DwellStudio went back to a childhood favorite — and the colorful silhouettes introduce old-school cut out dolls to modern times! The fabulous array of bright colors — from the multi-hued pinks light blues and chocolate browns — bring a fun, bold statement to any nursery!

Design Diva Recommends:

1. Lorena Siminovich Petite Pink Tulip Wall Art {from Oopsy daisy}: This collage-style wall art from Oopsy daisy features a flower in bloom. Oopsy daisy‘s kids wall art reproductions are created in their San Diego studios, where they print in the best digital method currently available, achieving great clarity and color resolution in each piece. After printing, the canvas is stretched by hand over a wood frame. The sides of the canvas include a decorative edge, so no framing is required.

2. Cotton Monkey Organic Whispering Grass Solid Aqua Crib Sheet: As it is always important to have a spare crib sheet around, this crib sheet from Cotton Monkey is a perfect match! Created from 100% organic cotton fabrics grown without chemicals or pesticides and printed with low-impact dyes, this Cotton Monkey crib sheet is crafted to protect your baby’s soft skin!

3. DwellStudio Paper Dolls Crib Bedding Set: Set includes bumper, crib fitted sheet, play blanket and crib skirt.

4. Byrdie Graphics Bloom Flower Wall Decals: A fabulous accent for any space, these wall decals can be easily removed and leave no residue behind. Choose lipstick shade as shown, or choose from the other 24 color available and create just the look you are craving.

5. Oilo Raindrops Aqua Cylinder and Double Decker Lights: LOVE the Oilo lighting — Adds an amazing touch of color in completely modern style.

6. Caden Lane Large Moroccan Changing Pad Cover: Complementary colors and added depth, this Caden Lane changing pad cover seems

It is one of those moments that will define the rest of your life: The moment that it is determined –whether planned or unplanned — that you are about to raise a baby in this world. It is a moment that comes and goes so quickly — the precise moment that your pregnancy test is positive, the precise moment the adoption agency says the paperwork is complete — and yet the impact of that one moment will last the rest of your life.

And so it goes, from that moment on, that you start decorating. In preparation for baby’s arrival, you spend hours — if not days — sifting through magazines and browsing through stores to determine which exact nursery set is exactly right for your impending baby bundle.

An idea developed in ages past that babies could only rest in cribs decorated with pastel pinks and baby blues. Modern baby bedding, however, is a far cry from this belief and crib bedding is now offered in dozens of colors — in hues from turquoise to purple to brown. These days, modern baby bedding is bold, bright and unique. Modern baby bedding is full of character and personality, typically with clean lines for design-conscious parents.

Polka Dot Peacock is proud to salute our modern designers – full of style, grace and just plain fun – as we kick-off our “Redefining the Nursery” series.

We will feature some of our favorite (and best-selling!) crib sets from our amazing designers, who have all helped us redefine the nursery:  Area Baby, Aunt Bucky, Baby Star, Caden Lane, CottonMonkey, Egg by Susan Lazar,  Inspired Crib Bedding, Litto Kids, The Modern Baby Company, Modern Basics, Olli & Lime, Pixel Organics, Rikshaw Design, Serena & Lily and Whistle & Wink.
