Inside Allison Kuch's Garden Nursery for Baby Scottie Bee
Buzz into the flowers, critters and warmth of this garden-inspired nursery! We dreamed up a collection with tastemaker and first-time mom Allison Kuch (@allisonkuch) for baby Scottie Bee. In collaboration with Nestig, Allison designed the Field Frolic wallpaper and Baby Bee mobile—two timeless pieces sure to be loved for years to come. Below, Allison shares her design process, the special pieces in her nursery, and her favorite everyday moments as a new mom.
With my interior design background, my baby’s nursery is a space I’ve always dreamt of creating! I wanted a space that would be aesthetically styled but still cozy and calm. The day we found out we were having a girl, we decided her middle name would be “Bee” after my husband's childhood nickname. When designing her nursery, it only felt right that the space incorporate her name and inspire the garden theme.
My collection includes the Baby Bee mobile and Field Frolic wallpaper. I really wanted the wallpaper to feel elegant and romantic but maintain a simplistic feel too. I wanted to keep the mobile simple as well. I thought the addition of flowers would be cute but ultimately decided on a timeless bee mobile that we can pass it down to our daughter!
Designing my baby’s nursery is something I’ve dreamt of for a long time, even before I got married! I loved not only taking time to create the mobile and wallpaper but also pulling the space together with the simple touches. As for the most challenging piece, I have a tough time with decision making especially because I like so many different design styles!
Take your time designing the nursery! I felt so much pressure to complete the space before she arrived but I’ve loved adding things in now that she’s here! Especially when thrifting pieces, I now have the memories of going shopping with her!
Just about everything in Scottie’s room has some kind of meaning behind it! We’ve thrifted quite a few pieces for her room but my favorite thrifted piece is a toy chest that my grandpa built for my dad when he was a toddler! It’s so special having that in Scottie’s nursery.
Every night we give Scottie a bath in her bathroom and continue her nighttime routine in her room. We read her stories, play lullabies, and put her down to sleep together, even sometimes the dogs join in!
