The Nursery

It's so fun to have a nursery for Miles. When I had my other two babies, we lived in smaller, temporary apartments and we weren't able to really dedicate a room for the baby. But Miles is lucky; he has his own quiet space, all blue and boyish, with boats and planes, and I love it!

Here's the before. It was Parker's room pre-August 13th. Blah, blah, boring white-ish walls!


Yes, that's Peter Pan hanging from the ceiling. His green and the crib's blue: just didn't go.

And the lovely afters . . .

The sailboat quilt on the wall was given to me by my mom when we thought Audrey was a boy for three weeks. (Thanks Dr. P!)
Turned out she was a girl.

The quilt inspired the sailboat theme.

Of course, you know what the best part of this picture is: brothers hugging.
Hmm, maybe I need something on the wall behind the glider . . .

Unfortunately, Miles' room is the only place where all the toys fit, so there's a toy stash in his quiet blue room. Just ignore it and check out the cool vintage poster I got on eBay for $9.
At least the toys are semi-contained.

One day I'll put up some white sailcloth curtains. They'll look great against the blue walls.
Yay for room makeovers! Soon I'll post my bathroom . . .

Love it! I can't wait to have a place I can paint and decorate without getting fined for holes in the wall or recovering paint. And yes, the boys hugging ARE the best part of the pic.

I am beginning to think that by the time I actually get to paint and decorate the rooms in my home, my babies won't be babies anymore. But oh well! I can enjoy looking at other's beautiful nurseries. It is just so cozy! Great job! Can't wait to see the bathroom before and afters.
