Nursery Tour: Dana, Georgia, and Clio

This buttery-yellow nursery is loaded with personalization and clever keepsakes. Vintage wicker, catchy prints, and pattern-play accessorize an antique pair of tidy twin beds that will someday soon tuck in a ginger-mopped toddler named Georgia and her brand new baby sister (Clio, born in October). Owner of a creative talent and recruiting company and #Bobuburbseast own social matchmaker of sorts, Dana Siomkos shows us around her gals' sweet space. Photographed by Christy Kurtz Harmon.

Dana is a natural born connecter. Her modern concept in recruiting, You-and-Them, is more about "aligning stars and connecting dots." She has that kind of innate voodoo-skill in her social life as well- almost single-handedly (and just as effortlessly) assembling a lot of us out here in the Maplewood, NJ community. She has an ease and a warmth you envy, so its no surprise she filled her daughters nursery with sunshine and character. Scroll for the tour, and find yourself smitten with a little of this family's fancy-free flavor. 

The shared room packs whimsy from wall to wall. Dressers from Dana's childhood.

There is something so satisfying about a bit of 1950s nostalgia in a traditional twin bed set.

Gg for Georgia Greene, Rainbow Bright creation by a young Dana from the 80's, painting is a Sherry Beth Sacks piece made for Clio, and "Don't Make a Scene" is an embroidered piece she had custom made by NaughtyLittleStich on Etsy..."those were my Mother's last words to me!"

Wicker white bookshelf scored at a local church sale and a West Elm statement rug. Pale pink paint slices the wall. 

Baby shelfie. 

Little diorama lanterns by Small Home. Dana met the creator at the Williamsburg holiday market years ago and had her make a custom lamp with a pigeon in it when she was pregnant with Georgia, who's nickname was "Pidge" in utero. 

Momma and big sister vintage rockers. 

Pile of pillows in Georgia's crib. 

A people-person type of mobile with snapshots of familiar faces.

BRUSH YO TEETH wall hanging made by a Brooklyn friend, Rayo & Honey.

Nimble nymph.

Rummage-sale panda curtains (!!), party favor decor, and a cozy shark.

Bits, strands and family talismans. 

That kind of sugary, squishy, sneaky, secretive lil sisterhood stuff. Eye pillows by Woolf With Me.

Kisses all around.

Clio Grace. Both sisters carry heirloom names from their grandmothers. 

The whole darn tribe, as cute as they come (including Dad-of-the-Year, Zane)

This shirt!! Cash 4 is a graffiti artist who's tags Zane always loved spotting throughout Brooklyn, so when Zane saw him post a pic of this tee on Instagram, he instantly offered to meet him with cash. "My Dad hates that this is hanging in Georgia's room and always sneaks it into the closet when he comes over...lol."
