Frog Prince Nursery Room Decorating Ideas

Recently I took my oldest daughter to see Disney’s The Princess and A Frog. What a darling story – we gave it two thumbs up!

This delightful movie and a sweet email from a Simplified Bee reader encouraging me to design another nursery room, spurred me to create this inspiration board with a little green friend in mind. It was created for a little boy-to-be {frog prince}, but could be easily adjusted for a baby girl {frog princess}.

1. Good Boy Potion Custom Canvas, 2. White Elegance™ Round Baby Bassinet with Sage Toile Bedding, 3. Froggy Fisherman Chandelier, 4. Hayes Glider, 5. Freddie Gone Fishing Storage Bin, 6. Avery Rug, 7. Green Tree Frog Fan Pull, 8. Frog Prince Plush Toy, 9. Hand Painted Knob.

Spruce up a vintage dresser or flea market find with a coat of fresh paint. For this froggy nursery, I recommend Benjamin Moore’s Spring Meadow. It would add just the right punch of color to the room.

Personalized artwork is a wonderful investment. This Limited Edition Green Frog Serenade Wall Hanging would add the perfect touch of whimsy to any froggy nursery. It’s available only through Posh Tots.

Lad & Lass: Simple, Modern Baby Nursery Decor

Clean, simple and modern. That’s what I love about nursery decor from Etsy store, Lad & Lass. This delightful Australian made and designed collection of lighting, limited edition prints and made to order wallpapers would add wonderful color to any gender neutral nursery.

Love this giant Animal Alphabet canvas. It’s educational too!

The Animal Alphabet Pendant adds a touch of whimsy to this modern nursery.

Here’s a darling Forest Family Lampshade {left} and an adorable Animal Alphabet Limited Edition Print {right}.

However, my favorite item is the Forest Family Pedigree Tree. It is a sweet family tree that branches out to four generations and accommodates up to four children. Wouldn’t it make a great baby shower gift?

Thank you Project Nursery for sharing this wonderful store with us!

Sweet Blue & Lavender Girl’s Bedroom by Margot Austin

Canada’s most talented Margot Austin wears many hats. She is a stylist, decorator and senior design editor for Style at Home, a magazine read by 1.6 million people per month.

This darling girl’s room was designed by Austin. She combines blues, lavender and white to create a cool, yet inviting color palette. The crystal chandelier, floral throw pillow and painted floral motif above the bed {wall decals from Ikea} gives the space a feminine feel.

A pair of three-drawer sidetables in turquoise flank the bed and are a brilliant addition. The key here is to have the table’s color be a few shades darker than the wall {Benjamin Moore’s Bird’s Egg} so that there is some contrast. The silver table lamp coordinates beautifully with the bedframe.

Here Austin maximizes the room’s vertical space by using two tall cabinets that provide additional storage. The desk is beautifully positioned in between to balance the look. The desk chair is slipcovered in a darling floral print that is repeated in the bed and chair pillows.

The small bright yellow sidetable is delightful between the two white slipcovered armchairs. What a fun place to read a book or chat with girlfriends.
