- A Project For: Liam
- Age: Born July 21, 2011
- Location: London, Ontario
-
Description:
Baby room for my first grandchild
-
Design Inspiration:
I can't get over all of the fantastic nursery bedding and furniture. A geat improvement from 20+ years ago. I knew I wanted a soft blue/brown combination and couldn't believe my luck when I found the bedding online. From Walmart!
-
Decorating Style:
Modern and contemporary with clean lines and comfortable furnishings
-
Project Details:
I just loved having a real baby room to play with. Babies grow so fast and I enjoyed having the opportunity to create a nursery. I considered doing something less "baby-like" given that my taste runs towards contemporary furniture and neutral colors but I know from experience that babies don't stay babies for long and you don't often get the chance to make a baby room.
-
Favorite Items:
I just love the tree over the crib! Putting that up took hours and was a real labor of love! I really enjoyed making the letters that hang on the wall above the crib.
-
Advice:
Shop around and be creative. I used things I already had in the house and they looked fresh and new in Liam's room. I priced letters and decided to paint them myself which turned out to be really fun.
