Daisy’s Minimal Bohemian Baby Room Reveal

Now that Daisy is 7 months I figured it’s a perfect time to share her room reveal lolllll.

I think pregnancy, postpartum and pandemic seriously took so much of my energy it was difficult to do anything on a timeline. I’m trying to be better about sharing things that I love without the pressure of them being perfect, so here we are. Better late than never, better done than perfect, right?

If you haven’t seen it, the virtual walkthrough can be found here on YouTube.

Down below you'll find links to items in her room, as well as any extra links that wouldn't. fit the carousel at the end of the post.

Design Inspiration and Process

I originally went off of this photo from Pinterest as my inspiration, and you can see more from my entire board here. I wanted something clean, simple, and bright with a touch of bohemian inspiration. This room is very small so I didn't want to overwhelm it with a million things. I decided to make the gallery wall the focus and leave the other elements simple.

Then I found this photo and fell in love with the paint color. It is literally the perfect pink. It’s called Bashful by Benjamin Moore & I’m obsessed.

From there I collected frames from the dollar store, printed photos of our families, and invested in one heavy, beautiful frame for a print I love.

The chair is custom linen from Pottery Barn and can be found here. It was a generous gift from my Aunt Brenda via our registry. I’ll share that link here in case you need inspo building your own registry! I remember feeling like I had no idea where to start!

Building a Gallery Wall

I usually don’t have patience for super in-depth DIY situations, so if you need that kind of direction definitely look up something more detailed. However, if you’re a fly-by-the-seat of your pants type, you’ve come to the right place.

All I found when planning gallery walls were images with elaborate layouts, tons of blue painter's tape and precise measuring which I do not have time for. I planned the gallery wall just like this: I took my various frames & laid them out on the floor until I found a pattern I liked, then I took a picture and sent to Steve & he helped me nail everything into the wall. The end.

Design Elements to Add

There are still a few more things I’d like to add to the room, when we have the money saved & are able. I’d love to replace the ugly boob light with a flushmount like this one. Adding a larger neutral or jute rug under the printed one will help the room feel more finished, as well as add texture and layers, and I might put something smaller near the changing table for us to stand on.

I have a few more photos and prints sent to me by friends or that we’ve taken since she was born that I’d like to add to the spaces above her crib, next to the closet, or over her chair.

We also want to replace the cheap, white blinds with new window treatments.

And that’s about it. Otherwise, I really love how bright, clean & fun her space feels. I can’t wait to spend more time in it with Daisy girl as she grows.
