Hi Loves!
I’m so excited to share my favorite little room in our house right now, Sophia’s pink and gold nursery and our home office combo.
You can imagine how excited I was when I found out that I was having a baby girl! I finally had an excuse to have a whole pink room and my husband could not complain about it, lol!
Now, we live in a 1100 sq feet apartment and the nursery is also our home office and hubby’s closet.
Nursery office combo
So, putting all together was definitely a little challenging. I didn’t have enough space to add some of the things that I wanted like a glider or a wardrobe for Sophia in order to keep our desk and computer.
The inspiration for her room came from this crown from Restoration Hardware, I just love it! However, it was definitely not in my budget. I found a better priced one at Pottery Barn and ended up spray painting it gold (sold out, similar here).
I wanted her nursery to be like a romantic/princess room with lots of soft pink and touches of gold. Finding the right pink was way harder than what I imagined, I think we went through 10 different shades of pink, we finally decided to go with Pinafore pink by Ralph Lauren, its just the perfect soft pink!
Pottery Barn Cornice (old): Similar here , here or here.

When you live in a small apartment, storage is always an issue. To maximize storage, I decided to go with the ikea Malm dresser that has eight very large drawers.
I added lucite knobs to the Ikea Malm dresser to add a little bit of glam!
Its a little bit higher than most changing tables but it works for us. For the decor, since the room is so small, I kept it as simple as possible (though I did went a little crazy with all the stuffed animals :)).
The Ikea Visttjo Shelf that I sprayed painted gold looks beautiful here. It houses office supplies as well as baby stuff!

Thank you so much for visiting!
The gold shelving unit in the corner…. You bought that from Ikea and spray painted it? I LOVE IT!!!! It’s exactly what I’m looking for to put in my nursery for my baby girl. I’m looking at the Ikea website and have not seen that shelving unit. Do you remember what it was called exactly?
Thank you so much for posting this — simply beautiful!!!!
Hope to hear from you soon,
Paige

Beautiful! What did you do to make the two Malm dressers appear as one? I am trying to figure out how to hide the seam on the top when the two dressers are next to one another. Thanks!
Author
Hi doll, I just did a post on the ikea malm dresser hack, check it out!

Hi! Where did you get the desk? I’m obsessed and need it! Beautiful room!

Beautiful nursery! How was the 4 drawer Malm height for a changing table? Was it a comfortable height or a little too tall? The 3 drawer seems too low (I’m 5’7″ and my husband in 6 foot).
Thanks!
Author
To be honest with you, we barely used, lol! I end up changing her in my bed all the time. Since we live in a small apartment, so my bedroom is very close. I think for your hight would be perfect. The smaller one is just too small for our high ceilings. xoxo
I was wondering where did you get her crib skirt from ? Thanks !!
Author
Hi Deja! Its from Restoration Hardware baby.
Does the crib skirt happen to be the “Gathered linen-cotton crib skirt” in the color petal? I’m looking to buy that for my baby girl. Thank you!
Author
Hi Cassie, not mine is WASHED VELVET in petal! xoxo
Could you tell me where you got the hanging crown above the crib from!? We are looking to do a similar idea and love the look of this crown!
Thanks! 🙂
Author
It was from PBK, this one is discontinued though. I did link another one under the post 🙂
Hi! Can you please tell me which changing pad cover you used? Thanks!
Author

Ceres
This room is beautiful!! Where did you find the wall crown?
Author
Hi Heather! It was from Pottery Barn Kids, but they have discontinued. 🙁
Love the room! Do you know where you got the chandelier from?
Author
Hi Sherron! Thank you! The chandelier it’s linked on the thumbnails on the shop the post session ?
So gorgeous. The dresser pulls you added took it over the top. Such a great choice. I have the same metallic spray paint and have been dying to use it. I’m going to spray paint my daughter’s dresser knobs and my living room bookcase now. Absolutely love this. If you have any tips on spray painting the bookcase, please let me know. It’s intimidating. LOL
Author
Thank you April! It’s always better to spray laying flat I think, but I’m sure you will do a beautiful job! ??
Hi. Can you share what book set you have on the bookcase? The 5 books – one with purple, peach, yellow, etc books? Thanks!
Author
Hi April, is the Winnie the pooh collection from amazon!
Thank you!
Love everything about this! Where is the rug from? I have the same crib but in a cream color, I’m obsessed with white furniture and thought I could possibly paint it..do you have any suggestions for that? Have you ever painted something that was iron?
Author
Hi Kathy,
I found the rug at tjmaxx! Ummm I think the cream color is fine, no? I would be careful with painting the crib. It needs to be baby approved paint!
For some reason my browser will not let me see the shop the look thumbnails and I am dying over the whole room and need to know where the mirror is from, please.
Author
Hi Cath! Sorry about that, here is the direct link http://rstyle.me/cz-n/bdh27qb48gx ??.
You are amazing!! Thanks! It might be my cell phone too and I need to get on my laptop to see the thumbnails!! I just found your blog the other day!! You are very talented and your home his gorgeous ?
Author
Awww thank you so much! I think the problem is on my site. I will fix it later ??
