This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the baby nursery of Carrie and Anthony's newborn daughter, Isobel. Carrie describes her Modesto, California home as an eclectic blend of vintage, modern and natural elements. She draws inspiration from the simplicity of mid-century modern decor and memories of her Aunt Millie's home where nothing had changed since the 1950's and 60's.
Carrie admits that the first place she looks when searching for new art or home items is here on Etsy, and she's proud to have an extensive list of favorites to shop from. She also loves to shop at flea markets, thrift shops and estate sales.
Isobel's baby nursery really stood out to us since it was filled with elements that had meaning to her parents, rather than pink and blue accessories that were purchased from a department store shelf. Vintage toys and reused furnishings, mixed with handmade linens and artwork, give the room a meaningful touch that creates the perfect introduction between parent and child. It also exposes Isobel to things her mommy and daddy like and find interesting.
Visit Etsy's There's No Place Like Here flickr pool to view more photos of Isobel's nursery, and check out the hand selected picks below to see how you can capture the look of Isobel's nursery using elements found on Etsy.
Your little one is sure to be entertained by these colorful butterflies fluttering above his or her head. This mobile was a prize winner in the Handmade Kids Challenge. By khamm75, $45.

A framed vintage story book illustration is a great way to connect your baby's childhood with memories from your own past. From heartfeltvintage, $24.
I spotted this adorable alphabet print on the dresser in Isobel's nursery. I love the secret woodgrain message hidden within the letters. By studiolyon, $8.
CUSTOMIZABLE SPARROWS AND BANNER WALL GRAPHIC ART PROJECT
The personalized banner hanging above Isobel's crib is a sweet way to add a personal touch to your child's nursery. Create a customizable banner of your own with this kit, which allows you to choose from a variety of colors. By HutchMe, $24.
These clever shelves by artist Jennifer Stites are handpainted and upcycled from old crates. This would be the perfect place to display small toys or books. By pinkpainter, $48.
Crib Bumper Set - Pepper(Mint) Pigs
Crib bumpers are an easy way to add a fun pattern and color to any nursery. AuntBucky's shop has a wide variety of crib bedding that allows you to mix-n-match. You can find the perfect combination that complements your color scheme and style. By AuntBucky, $225.
It's never too early to introduce your child to the importance of respecting the environment. This egg shaped terrarium is the fun way to spark a love and curiosity for plants and nature. By Greenbriar, $45.
A pretty pillow on your nursery chair is a functional way to add a pop of color. This pillow features a removable cover, so it will weather for any feeding time mishaps. By missmosh, $52.

awesome! always interested in how people decorate their baby nurseries and kids' rooms since most of what I do in my shop is customized artwork for those kinds of rooms! :) I am always looking for new ideas and I have been inspired once again!
(You can see some unique nursery decor in my shop, as well as a custom order for sushi art for a sushi-themed nursery I recently did )
I really do like that butterfly mobile...
