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


Nursery from the door

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

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

Awesome. What a wonderful place for the kids to grow.

Gorgeous! I love how it all came together.

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!

I LOVE it! The dots are wonderful.

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

Beautiful room! Love the dots.

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.

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

Posted by: Heidi at August 12, 2008 08:45 PM

Oh the dots! I love the room.

Posted by: Lee at August 12, 2008 08:36 PM

The polka dots and their placement is my favorite. Lovely!

ah a haven of peace at last zzzzzz

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.

So cute!! And definately a little less "trippy" ;-)

Posted by: Heather at August 12, 2008 05:59 PM

I love the polka-dots!

Posted by: Theresa at August 12, 2008 05:56 PM

Posted by: Amanda at August 12, 2008 05:52 PM

I love it.It looks so open and bright.

Posted by: Erica at August 12, 2008 05:48 PM

Totally in love with it. What a fantastic place to learn to walk and talk.

Posted by: Margi at August 12, 2008 05:34 PM

Brilliant! You've created a truly sweet space.
