Tamera Mowry-Housley Gets ‘Real’ About the Inspiration Behind Her Baby Girl’s Nursery

In the November issue of Parents, we took a look at raising happy, confident girls—but it looks like The Real talk show cohost Tamera Mowry-Housley has made that a priority for her baby girl from the get-go.

The moment little Ariah Talea Housley arrived home earlier this year, she was greeted by a room exuding “Power in Pink”—what mommy and designer, Shalena Smith, came to call the official theme.

Happy Mom to Be

To give her Napa Valley, Calif., nursery an intimate feel, PEOPLE blogger Tamera Mowry-Housley and husband Adam Housley enlisted celebrity designer Shalena Smith.

And the decorator to the stars didn’t disappoint.

Smith expertly blended the couple’s personal items with a vintage, Americana style to create a chic kids room the new family will enjoy forever.

 

An extravagant nursery for Mariah Carey’s twins

Babies can’t sit at a table and sip tea, but they do grow into toddlers who can. Sweet little table and chair sets make a mini and cute addition to any nursery.

Carey’s celeb friends gifted her with a darling table and chair set from the owner of GaGa Designs, Shalena Smith. While the set in Carey’s nursery isn’t listed on the website — possibly because it was a custom gift — similar GaGa table and chair sets cost between $160 and $200.

One thing still on Diddy and Porter’s baby registry: an $88,000 R-class Mercedes Benz. It’s “for the twins to ride in,” Shalena Smith of Ga Ga Designs tells PEOPLE. “But I showed (Kim) a $17,000 diamond-encrusted pacifier and she laughed because she’s down to earth. They are realistic people. Everything (on the registry) wasn’t just the bling bling.”
