You just got the confirmation that a little human is on the way. There’s a lot of
excitement and emotion involved in preparing for a new addition to the family, but when it comes to the designing and stocking of your nursery, we’ve got you covered. Celebrity designer Sherri Blum of Jack and Jill Interiors and Designer Instinct serves the Central PA region and brings with her 18 years of design experience (designerinstinct.com). From conception to execution, Blum can transform any room into a dream space for your new prince or princess.
But if nursery design is last on your list after name searching, diaper stocking, and researching best practices for child rearing, or if you’re waiting to find out the gender, Blum can still work her magic. She created a gender reveal nursery for one client who wanted a royal fairytale theme for her dream nursery but didn’t want to know if she was having a boy or a girl. Designed and installed in secret, the room was ready and waiting for the arrival of the baby, a boy who came home to a royal-themed nursery fit for a prince.
After the design of the nursery is completed, we’ve rounded up some of the best places in the Susquehanna Valley to add the finishing touches, from furniture and handmade décor to necessities for moms to stylish items to round out the wardrobe. Whether you’re looking for yourself or searching for a standout baby shower gift, Snazzy Giraffe in Mechanicsburg, BellaBoo in Lancaster, or Rock-a-Bye Baby Furniture in Lebanon all have charming selections.
