Creating something new

Justin Bernhaut

Stephanie emailed us. "I moved into a new house about a year ago and found your blog. I Love, Love, Love referencing it for inspirational pictures and ideas!!

Now I have a new project that I would love your help with.
I just recently found out I am pregnant with my first baby and Im already thinking about decorating the nursery of course!

However, I don't want to do typical pink or blue. And I don't want the nursery to look too babyish.
I know that sounds crazy - but the rest of my house is stylish and I don't want one room to ruin the look! Selfish I know!"

Not at all Stephanie. Here are a few ideas. There are even more on the Flickr group Modern Baby Nursery Designs and of course the fabulous AT:Nursery is a must visit. Don't forget to click on the label children's rooms below to go to other kid's rooms we have featured. Good luck with the new baby and the new room!

Retro Kids' rooms

"Children love exuberant, often vividly-bold colors and color combinations, so plan a room with a more dazzlingcolor scheme than you might give yourself....." Words of wisdom from "Practical Decorating Ideas", Ure Smith - Sydney, 1973. If you can find it buy it! More photos are definitely coming from this retro treasure.

Otras Ventanas - other windows

Gabi is a mother of 3 in Santiago Chile. She hopes of becoming a designer and in the meantime dreams of beautiful things. Otras Ventanas is the name of her blog where she shares her finds and practices her english but her triumph is her Flickr site under the same name were she collects the most amazing and exuberant images. Her kids' rooms set is an inspiration. I met Gabi when I first started with Flickr and her joyous love of colour and fun brings a smile to my face. This is just a small sample of her images. And the good thing is that almost all are sourced so if you like what you see you can go in search of more. Thanks for sharing Gabi!

Kids' rooms rule!

I've showcased Amie Weitzman's work earlier but did you see her fabulous kids' rooms when you checked her website. Great rooms, great understanding of what a child wants and needs in their own space. I'd love one for myself!

Kim posted some wonderful photos of little girls' rooms and now it's my turn. Rough and tumble, brave and bold. Little boys need a creative inspiring space of their own.
