2 The braided, gilded wood
mirror
adds dimension, shine, and a sense of age over a sleek Oomph dresser lacquered in the palest green. 'Right now, there's a changing pad on top of the dresser, but that won't always be the case,' Caldwell shares.

3 The Pierre Frey
wallpaper
envelopes the room in an untamed autumnal landscape. The pattern is an updated take on versions popular in the era during which the home was built while the green, yellow, and rusty hues provide a gender-neutral backdrop.
4 Linen
drapery
with blackout lining offers softness and relief from the bold wallpaper. Maize-colored tape on the leading edges add a layer of interest that ties to the wallpaper and pops against the dark green window trim.

5 The convertible mini
cribs
by Namesake
are petit enough to nestle into the bay window. 'We love the old-fashioned feel; the clients definitely did not want typical white cribs,' Caldwell says. Ruffled bed skirts accentuate the effect.
6 The durable vintage
rug
from Linda's Barn in Strafford, New Hampshire, is densely patterned like the wallpaper helping to tie together the room, but the neutral colors don't overtake the space.
