When it came time to design the nursery for her daughterVivian, actressElizabeth Tullochdidn’t want to go overboard with the blush brush.
“I worried there wasn’t enough traditionally girly stuff in there,” she adds, “but I never loved pink when I was a little girl, and I figure worst-case scenario as she gets older if she’d really love a giant dollhouse or a pink rug or purple curtains, we can always switch it up.”

Tulloch and fellow formerGrimmactor Giuntoli, 38, crafted Vivian’s nursery with some help fromGugu Guru, a company she tells PEOPLE “was invaluable in both removing items from our registry we totally didn’t need and steering us in a better direction.”
“The wallpaper was a perfect starting-off point because it is playful but elegant, and I wanted her nursery to fit in with the décor of the rest of the house, which I designed myself,” she explains. “I kept reading about how babies respond to graphic, black-and-white designs and I figured the wallpaper, combined with pops of pink elsewhere in the nursery, would be girly but not over-the-top.”

“They’re a beautiful set and I love that Monte furniture is eco-friendly and sustainably made,” theSupergirlactress tells PEOPLE. “I adore the walnut base, and the Missoni lumbar pillow that came with the rocker.”
Tulloch re-purposed a dresser that was previously in the room when it was being used for guests before Vivian’s arrival, and simply put a diaper-changing station on top of it.
And she learned a valuable lesson in her design process, admitting, “I almost bought a crazy expensive,enormous air purifier and then didsome research and decided a lovely plant with great air-cleaning qualities would work nearly as well (without being an eyesore).”
“It’s actually very soothing and I’m happy I went with my gut and did the entire room,” Tulloch says.
