I knew I didn’t want a blue room for my son because I am tired or stereotyping. And trust me, if I had a girl, it would still be green and white with pops of other colors, never pink & purple.
We have very high ceilings (12′) but the room is rather small, so we went with white walls and used bright colors on accessories, such as curtains, floor mat, table, wall decals etc.

I have an engineering brain and a crafty heart. And I have a huge passion for babies and everything related to pregnancy, natural birth, breastfeeding, babywearing, eco-friendly baby items and nursery design. I don’t like tacky and you will never catch me in any kind of “r us” store. I never get tired of browsing through Esty. I am trying my best to live in an eco-friendly way, opt for sustainable choices whenever possible and I have a recycling OCD. I am a passionate supporter of the handmade market, local shopping and human rights.
I am from Europe and I followed my heart all the way to America. I live with my amazing husband and son in a bilingual household in Jersey City (for New Yorkers: that’s the place on the other side of Hudson River). I am self-employed – occupation: full-time mother. Before I was a SAHM, I worked in construction and design in the UK, and real estate and property management in NYC. Now that feels like a galaxy away. In my “free” time I make handmade baby blankets, organic washcloths and eco-friendly felt decoration.

The wooden KAMAR blocks and the floor mat look really fun and funky. And the anteater canvas and stuffed toy look so much alike, I was about to ask if there’s an anteater cartoon character I don’t know about!
BamboolaBaby
Thanks! No cartoon character, we just saw it once in a bookstore in Brooklyn and thought it was super cute. Then I came across this amazing artist who makes custom toy portraits :)

So the portrait is based on the stuffed anteater? Or are the two totally coincidental?
BamboolaBaby
Yep, the portrait is based on the stuffed anteater :) The lady can paint literally any toy. We mailed her the anteater but she can also do it from a photograph too. She’s amazing.
