Hello everyone! Once again, I've designed a nursery......hmmm, maybe I have a little bit of baby fever?? I don't know, just don't tell my mother! Anyway, I was inspired by the sea with this one. I usually don't like to get too "themey" with baby rooms, but sometimes, I just can't help it. And it's not so bad if it's done correctly. Keep these tips in mind when designing around a theme: Throw in a modern touch that adds some edge and surprise to the room. Lay of the kitsch. ....no knick-knacks, cheesy figurines, or clutter Use objects that relate to the theme, but can be interpreted in a different way in another room or later on when the child grows older. Keep the scale correct, many times I see people hanging tiny photos, artwork, letters, etc, over furniture. Splurge on a couple medium to larger pieces to take up space on the wall. Contrary to popular belief, larger scale furniture and art can actually help make a room look larger, not smaller-so go big! And last, but not least, tell a story. Through hand me down blankets, furniture, artwork, or toys, it is easy to keep a personal touch that will make the room warm and cozy. Below is my "Sea Baby" nursery. Enjoy! dresser | rocker | sweater pillow | black&white pillow | lamp |crib | artwork | curtains | mirror | rug
