More darling nursery ideas

Indulge me - I love viewing ingenious nursery decor.  It's heart warming to see how hard 
parents work to make their baby's surroundings so special. 

Today's photos truly show the labors of love:

The argyle wall is amazing.

Orange is a dramatic dash of color in this cool, blue bedroom:

It's hard to see but there's a tiny Eiffel Tower drawn under

Chloe's name.  I'm definitely feeling the French vibe!

 

LOVE the tea cup floor lamp!

At first glance I was a little overwhelmed by the 

green toile wallpaper but it is quite elegant.

 Little Carter certainly has a modern, hip bedroom:

 

Circus themes are always lots of fun:

      Surf's up in Kyleb's nursery!

Milo's room rocks!

Don't you adore the yellow ceiling?
It's a sunny contrast to the blue walls.

 

A tremendous amount of work went into this jungle theme:

Sometimes the simple approach is best.  

Do you think that the rest of the house is white, too?

Decals are a quick and charming wall treatment. 

Clean, colorful and simple - I like it!

 A nautical theme is suitable for any age.  Notice

the compass painted around the ceiling light fixture?

Charcoal wouldn't have been my first color choice 
but it really works in this nursery.

Instead of papering the entire wall with tinted grasscloth,

the parents chose to cover and frame about half of the wall.

Innovative and chic.

 Jack and the Beanstalk comes to life with the

beautiful vine climbing to the ceiling.

The lattice wallpaper adds a depth and dimension to the pastel pallet.

So sophisticated - the chandelier is incredible:

The Before & After transformation below is almost unbelievable:

 Wow.  Seriously, wow.

Even though it wasn't featured in every photo, the one element that each of today's 

nurseries has is a comfortable chair for rocking, nursing, and comforting the baby.

After choosing a crib, the rocker is the second most important piece of furniture you'll 

need and use.  Midnight rocking sessions are exhausting but are also a wonderful bonding experience.
