Baby's Nursery

Since both my sisters have had babies in the past two months I thought it might be appropriate to consider the baby's room.
A baby's nursery is a special place for a new baby and a new mom, especially in the first few months. It should be comfortable and provide for sleeping and storage for the new arrival.

Furniture that can serve multiple functions will work best in baby nurseries, such as a convertible crib that become a single bed and a chest that can serve as a changing table until it is no longer needed would be good furniture choices. Choose furniture that will not be out grown quickly.  A rocking chair or glider is a must!
When decorating baby nurseries use soothing colors, typically the nursery is painted in soft colors but bolder colors in small amounts can also be used.
Mom suit yourself when choosing nursery themes, this in probably the only time in your child's life that you would be able to do so. As your child grows, he or she will have likes and dislikes and will want say into what goes into his or her room.
With this in mind, make sure that the nursery theme and decor is easily changed. Children's interests are fickle.
Here are some rooms that I absolutely love. In all of these pictures the walls are painted to adapt to baby growing up. If you are interested in applying a more whimsical color to the walls, be prepared to repaint.



Note that the gender specific additions to this adorable room are also easily removed. Another thing that makes this room great is that even though it is a nursery, the accessories will work well for different ages If there was a bed instead of a crib this would be a very cute room for a young girl.

I love the sophistication that is brought to this nursery room. I also think that it would work well for a boy or girl. Again, the color scheme will work for years.


As I said earlier, a nursery is your chance to decorate your child's room. You will never get this chance again so make it a reflection of you. I don't know that all the white is practical, but I like the sentiment.

This one is just the more princess-y of all the rooms that I have looked at. It's elegant but not sappy and over the top. I love that it is a princess nursery without the pink. The furniture and fixtures are very feminine.
