nursery inspiration: all that jazz

Album cover images from here and here. (Not for sale).

My love affair with jazz began in a middle school choir room when I was about 13. I started singing then (admittedly with some hesitation) and never looked back! These days I don’t do a whole lot of singing but jazz is a music that moves you and it still inspires me every day. Today’s design was born from a love of the music.

The item sparking my ideas for this room is the oh-so-cute ‘J is for Jazz’ print from etsy. Next, I found these amazing Miles Davis vintage LP covers to frame as artwork on the walls. I like using a mix of traditional and modern pieces so I included the Emeline Chair from Anthropologie as a nice balance to all of the modern influences in the room. It depends partly on the floor color you have but I would keep the walls very light and bright – possibly white, a light dove gray, or the buttery yellow that is in the curtains.

Although completely beautiful, many of the pieces featured today are admittedly a splurge for most. With that in mind, tomorrow’s post will be a new feature for us – a way to get the look for less including pieces that will still get you tons of decorating style points without breaking the bank!
