Let’s talk about corona beds, no viruses allowed in them please!
The bed corona originated from the canopy bed which were used in medieval times by nobles to keep the cool drafts away from their cold castles.
A bed corona, also called Lit à Couronne, is suspended at the head of the bed (like a crown on a head) with drapery extending down to the sides of the edge of the bed.
If you want to learn about ALL the different types of canopy beds, look at this Veranda article here. I will only be showing bed coronas today!

Today is the day! My baby girl’s nursery reveal!! I am so excited to share it with you!
The nursery design started with wallpaper. I always knew that I wanted to wallpaper the nursery. I started searching for the perfect wallpaper and loved this one! It is a very cute bunny toile in grey and white. We chose a nice grey paint to complement it below the chair rail. We felt that if the wallpaper went all the way to the floor it would be a little overwhelming for the entire room.
I also always knew that I wanted to have a bed crown over the crib. I know it is a little bit over the top but I love it!! Don’t worry – it is safe and secure and will not topple down and cannot be pulled down. When she gets to the age when she starts grabbing onto things, we will likely have to remove the linen coming down from it. Do not fret – we will keep her safe!
The crib will convert to a toddler bed. We chose a petal pink velvet to go on the crib and other furniture as our cat *loves* linen. Anything linen would be destroyed.
Pictured below is the diaper changing table and dresser. A love her little swan rocker that she can use when she is a little older! I ultimately decided to go with white furniture even though on my inspiration board I had a lot of grey furniture picked out. It just looked better when they were all put together.
The other side of the room has a bookcase and glider. We will be spending many hours on the glider together! I love the pink velvet tufted ottoman as well. The giant pink rectangle on the wall is a pinboard. I remembered when I grew up in a wallpapered room it was nice having a pinboard as my mom wouldn’t let me put 100 holes in the wall to hang up my artwork and Spice Girl magazine cut outs!
A closer look at her bookcase. Many of the stuffed animals were mine.
This is a cute little piece of artwork I found that is on in a corner in her room! It has bunnies on the alphabet.
I hope you enjoyed the nursery tour!! I am thankful we ordered our furniture literally months ago as I fear if we had waited it would not have arrived on time!
We are so excited to welcome our baby girl into the world!! A huge shout out to my parents who did a majority of the work with the remodel this room. I wasn’t allowed to do anything but supervise – with the cat’s help, of course.

It is just about a month away before our baby girl arrives! Our nursery is *almost* complete, but before I get into the big reveal (still have to hang a few things at the time that I wrote this post), I thought I would share my mood board! Here is a link to my nursery inspiration post.
Below is my “fancy” mood board I made! I used to make mood boards with Adobe Photoshop, but recently I’ve just been using the app called “Layout” by Instagram – it is a super easy way to make a photo collage.
As you can see, I am going for a softer color palette: Greys, white, pastel pink. With a touch of gold!
If you read my blog, it should come as no surprise that I like the French and Gustavian type furniture. Of COURSE she is going to have a bed crown too!! I’ve been trying to get a bed crown over my own bed for a while but have yet to find a fabric I am happy with!
The wallpaper I found is a cute bunny toile in grey and white. I wanted it to be something that could go with lots of different colors should she choose say when she’s a bit older that she hates pink and wants blue in her room – then the grey will go with it. That’s right, I don’t intend to take the wallpaper down for a while (or ever! hahah I can dream – it is so annoying to put up and take down).
It’s fun seeing my mood board and how my room actually turned out! I guess you will all have to wait and see—SOON!
Being pregnant during this pandemic has not been what I expected. It has been hard at times to feel full of joy (what I hear you’re supposed to experience?) when the world is feeling sad.
That said, I can’t wait to share my nursery with you all.

Love this elegant living room designed by Barclay Butera as pictured in Traditional Home. I can’t decide my favorite part of the whole room… the fireplace? The sconces and chandelier? The opposing settees? The antique secretary? The mantle? How about I love it all!!
