    Wow. This makes me wish I knew if we were having a boy or girl! The paint is close to what I’ve already painted our nursery and it’s such a fabulous design! I love the Dove print and all the wooden toys on the shelves. Gorgeous work!

    I love that she used pink but not in an overly powerful way. It’s sophisticated.

    I like very much your ‘Real Rooms’ posts because they inspire me and give me great ideas for baby nursery decorations. Thanks.
    I also love the design and colors of the nursery above. The dominating pink give the whole room a cozy and welcoming look.
