Well before her birth, I had a dream of creating a girly room for Nielsine – Originally, It was going to be all pink or all white, but since her play room (I will share pics in future) is jungle themed, I added some zebra ornamentation to break the monochrome image, and create some sort of tie between the two. It was very important for me to stay within my budget and make use of items I already had.
It took me a while, and I am currently in the process of sleep training her to move out from co-sharing mommys bed. But honestly I secretly don’t want her to go… yet !
So in the mean time, this is where she takes her day time naps. And stores all her little clothes.
All the wall art was by a painter I hired. I designed the closet to be simple, but also low enough so she could reach her little clothes. My local carpenter executed it well! This is where I hang the dresses that she wears often. The lovely hangers are from only hangers …. Love them !
There was a lot of sewing involved, from the curtains to the cushions and throws… and honestly , this is the kind of sewing that doesn’t excite me lol ! All the fabrics were from Biashara Street, Nairobi.
Her favorite part of the room, must be the mirror section! She loves to stand there and admire her reflection and her outfits, totally adorable !
My crib is from baby shop at the Sarit centre. I have had many disappointments with carpenters and would advice anyone looking to invest in a baby crib to buy a bed that you can physically see.
The changing unit and height ruler are from funkidz,
I did not get the changing unit in this color, the painter painted it white and I tried my hand on the flowers lol
I am not an interior designer, but this was a challenge I was willing to take. And I am proud of myself for taking the plunge.
Have a great weekend.
Silvia xoxo

I love it! I love the black and white with the pink- it breaks the pink perfectly. The idea of a little closet where she can reach her clothes is just adorable- borrowing it for my little girl as well 🙂

Yaaaayy. Can’t wait for pictures
Impressive

Haha. Thank you Mumbi
I think this is your best work yet!! You have quite the eye,on the crib though, how many beds will you buy at the rate she is growing lol. Just get a really good carpenter and it will make sense.
I will probably have to buy one more in a yea. but that will last her until she is a teen 🙂 thanks xx
I’ll probably buy one more a year and a half from now, but that is a sizr that should last her until she is a teen 🙂 lol thanks
Wow…….i love everything about this room from the color to the tiny cute dresses 🙂 no designer could have done it like you.
awww , thanks. now I am even more motivated to make over more rooms in the house
Gosh . Thank you. Now I am more motivated to make over more rooms
Adorable…I’m working on my little ladybird’s room right now so thanks for the info on where you got your crib(i was so going to ask). I haven’t been looking long but i’m already disappointed with what i’ve seen so far.
Beware of pages on Facebook as well that will show you pictures and deliver something totally different… so sad
Glad I could help. What was dissapoiting for me was the pages on Facebook that post pictures of items downloaded from the Internet and then deliver something totally different
Love, where did you get the hangers, i love the mini everything, i am now a believer that i can do this.

As always Silvia, you nailed it!!! I love the animal print and how you incorporated it. I’m sure Nielsine has fallen in love with her room. I know I have. It illustrates the degree of care you’ve taken in ensuring that she is comfortable. You definitely have an eye for anything design related 🙂 Keep it up
THANK YOU! 🙂
THANK YOU!
feeling like i should go back to my mums womb and get born when a room like this has been prepared for me!

Hey Silvia..love the custom designed clothes rack….could i get a referral to your carpenter?would love to have something similar made for me
Silvia this is beyond adorable..she’s too blessed to have you as her mum.
Silvia this is so amazing, you could been an interior designer in another life and still nail it hand down like you do fashion. I have been looking for that wallpaper just to break momotony on my very dull wall, cant seem to find it anywhere even on biashara street, could you please direct me to where you got yours, many thanks in advance.
