How to Create a Nursery

The nursery, as you may remember, was something that came straight from an LSD trip.
Today my heart broke just a little bit

Their nursery has since been taken over by the family bathroom and what will be the en-suite. The babies have been moved into their permanent nursery, which was once the guest room. The new guest room is our former master bedroom (you still with me?) Their room isn’t 100% complete – they need new wardrobe doors as the previous ones are 1) ugly, 2) red, 3) not baby-proof and 4) did I mention ugly?
But here’s their new nursery.

Nursery 1
Nursery 3
And a guideline from me to them:
And of course, my dreams for them hung on one wall

    I love it, but I love the LSD trip too. And I absolutely adore the Seuss print. My mom gave me that book for college graduation. Bittersweet I suppose as I now read it to my own children. It is a fantastic space for the kids to enjoy.

  11. Heidi says:

    I have to agree, it’s very sweet. I imagine it smells of baby powder.

    IloveitIloveitIloveit! It’s amazing. Perfect. I especially love the framed Dr. Seuss print. Also, the floor changing station, if I’m not mistaken about what that is. Genius. I always had more luck changing my babies on the floor but never had the foresight to set up a changing station. You’re so smart. :)

    I love both of them!! Love the polka dots!

  14. Ahhh, your babies have polka dots. My duaghter requested them in her room this spring…all over, I will have to give you a link to a pic. It sure was fun to paint them.

    Gorgeous! The wall colour looks really similar to one we’ve just painted most of our house in called “tea and cream”.

  17. donna says:

    I LOVE it! The dots are wonderful.

  18. Tinker says:

    Ahhh, that’s better. Mind you, you’ve chosen the same colour for the nursery walls as I have throughout my house (nursery included). The dots are a great touch!

  19. Tonya says:

    Gorgeous! I love how it all came together.

  20. Mr.Thomas says:

    The new nursery is gorgeous – I love the dots! And the cribs are too cute – IKEA rules!
