Butterfly accents, bright colors and graphic patterns inspire a whimsical Hot Springs nursery
Black-and-white prints weren’t the only love of White’s she brought into the space. “I’ve always liked butterflies, too,” she adds. “I was shopping at House to Home one day with my mom. We saw the large butterfly print and had to have it,” she laughs. The colorful pattern in the artwork plays off the bold prints in the space as well as the room’s blue-gray walls, which complement the chandelier’s turquoise finial.
The butterfly accent was a natural fit and seemed to grow with gifts from friends and family. “My mom surprised me at one of our baby showers with a needlepoint butterfly that my great-grandmother had made and had in her home,” notes White, “and a friend of mine painted another butterfly for us.” Both of these art pieces along with Stella’s favorite books and dolls are displayed on simple white shelves over a custom-built bench. For another hint of playfulness, White made a butterfly mobile from felt pieces. The colorful creation is now suspended over Stella’s crib, bringing her a smile as she wakes up each day. To bring in additional color on the walls over the crib, White covered the letters of Stella’s monogram with leftover fabric pieces.
