Hi there, cuties! You’re in for a real treat this week because we have a nursery reveal with our dear friend Olivia Rink!
You may remember the oh-so-adorable Olivia Rink from our past collabs with her—we worked with her on a bedroom design in her apartment when she had first moved to NYC (check it out HERE)…and have worked with her on several spaces along on the way as she moved from NYC, to her home-state of Indiana (bedroom refresh HERE), to her current home in Kentucky with her husband and young son (see her son’s nursery HERE and her kitchen lighting HERE).
Currently, Olivia is expecting her second child—a baby girl!—and she had a beautiful vision for a dreamy nursery in tones of pink and gold with floral wallpaper and plenty of super-sweet personal elements from her own childhood.
“Her nursery is ready and so are we…I loved every minute of putting this room together for her. Thank you Kathy Kuo Home for the beautiful staple pieces that all came together so perfectly. -Olivia Rink writes on Instagram
Read on to see all the adorable details and see how Olivia Rink styled her KKH crib, glider, ottoman, rug, mirror, and chandelier to make this girly nursery so special, stylish, and infinitely warm and cozy!

Delightful Details
The key to a really special design is all in the details—and a nursery is no exception! Olivia really attended to every detail—from the wallpaper to the dresser-top decor—to make this nursery a calming and comfortable haven for both her baby-to-be, and for herself and her husband (after all, mom and dad spend just as much time in the nursery as baby does).
“Fun fact: Olivia and her husband actually converted their formal dining room into this nursery space (such a smart idea) by adding doors to what was an open entryway!”
I really love all of the wall decor and surface styling in this nursery. Our Elise Mirror is beautifully complemented by adorable wall art pieces that Olivia sourced from Etsy, thrift stores, and from artist friends, and she made sure to sprinkle plenty of keepsakes that her mother had saved from her own nursery throughout the room. So sweet!

A Chic & Cozy Crib
The Namesake Abigail Crib has been a longtime bestseller here at KKH, so it’s no wonder Olivia chose it as the anchor piece in her perfectly pink nursery design. There’s really no question: It’s a perfect fit in this room!
“Finished in gorgeous vintage gold, this crib is beautifully designed, sustainably crafted, and it can convert to four mattress positions, and convert to a toddler bed as baby grows.”
The gold color proved to be the perfect pairing with the soft blush tones in the wall paper—the effect is both regal and cozy at the same time. And don’t even get me started on all the cuteness that Olivia has surrounded and filled the crib with! The blanket is Olivia’s from when she was a little one, and the wall sconces offer just the perfect golden glow to the crib area.

Mixing Crystles, Flowers & Gingham Checks
Finally, and I may be biased here, we have the piece-de-resistance from this lovely nursery design: Our Regina Andrew Cheshire Chandelier! I love, love, love this chandelier—it literally is made of crystal flowers—and can so see Olivia’s personality in it.
“Adding a fun piece of statement lighting like this to a nursery is a great way to infuse some sophistication and glamour in a way that your eventual toddler won’t be able to break later on. The fun floral motif on the chandelier also offers a nice echo of the floral print on the wallpaper without feeling matchy-matchy.”
I also love that Olivia wasn’t afraid to mix prints in this nursery. It can feel a little bit like rolling the dice when you mix prints, but it often pays off beautifully if you’re mindful of the boldness of the prints and the overall color palette. Case in point: Our Namesake Crawford Gilder and Ottoman in tan gingham offer a nice, neutral contrast to the more intricate prints and brighter colors of the wallpaper and Loloi Skye Rug. It all just mixes and matches perfectly because Olivia styled the space so intentionally!
