Feathering a Nest

I late got an e-mail from a instance at the online abode decor retailer little Edmond's plant nursery inward a weblog post, too hash out whatsoever ways inward which the lead had inspired me. Well...

Here's the thing: Edmond doesn't convey a nursery. He has a picayune corner inward my form of picayune bedroom. And this is the agency it volition hold upwardly for at to the lowest degree the get-go 6 months of his life. We've used the Arms Reach Mini Co-Sleeper for each of our children, too it's squeamish to convey the picayune hungry one, y'all know, inside arm's reach.

And, until I received that email, I hadn't done anything to alter the infinite other than laid the sleeper. But the e-mail too the lead got me thinking. Why non brand the infinite a picayune to a greater extent than special, brand a temporary alter or 2 to celebrate this novel picayune life that nosotros love thence dearly?

So that's what I did. The One Kings Lane lead focuses on themes, accents, too comfort, specifically inward the pick of chair (of which they convey sundry gorgeous options available for purchase). Decisions, decisions: ought i larn amongst a rocker, a glider, maybe fifty-fifty a recliner?

Since this is the principal sleeping room we're dealing with, I didn't desire to larn also 'themey.' Rather, I chose to remain truthful to my love of construct clean lines (the get-go pic is the before), but amongst a chip to a greater extent than color, warmth too only a touching of joie de vivre. The accents I added were few - some items on the walls to a higher identify the co-sleeper, homemade newspaper bunting, too a soft fleece throw on the bed, thence I interspersed reddish too other vivid colors to give them greater impact. I also chose items that would give texture without subtracting space. The mixed media wall hangings include framed embroidery, felt, too photographs, too a child's Rosary. In addition, the placement of the artwork too bunting describe the optic upward, making the room seem larger.

Unfortunately, because infinite is thence express inward the room, I'm unable to convey traditional plant nursery seating. However, I produce convey a bit of space. I'm on the sentry for something that has a minor silhouette, too would furnish a comfortable identify to sit down when I require to hold upwardly upright inward gild to remain awake for nursing. Any suggestions, One Kings Lane?
