Storybook Nursery Inspiration: Goodnight Moon

Lullaby 02/13/2013

Although it was published over 60 years ago, the bedtime classic "Goodnight Moon" has a timeless appeal (that’s what makes it a classic!). The story is charming in its simplicity of a young bunny saying goodnight to everything in his room (which is actually a sweet bedtime routine for any small child) and it’s truly a must-have for a child’s first library.

We were recently inspired by the bold, colorful design of the room it takes place in, so we decided to find some modern pieces for anyone interested in creating a Goodnight Moon themed nursery. It seemed pretty timely, too, since Emerald is Pantone’s Color of the Year! While most people probably don’t want such an intensely colorful nursery, if you’re thinking green, maybe consider it for one statement wall or even a striped ceiling like this one on Project Nursery!

Now, without further adieu, check out our Goodnight Moon inspired pieces and color palette:
