Revamping Baby's Room: Office Turned Whimsical Nursery

April 8, 2010

This post was submitted by member sunkissis in our Revamping Baby's Room group.
The room started as my hubby's office. Once that was completed *by my exhausted husband* we painted and scrubbed the hardwood floors. We added new fixtures, curtain rods and changed the door to a french door so we can peek in on her.
It took us almost a week to paint but hubby had to do most of the work in the evenings when he came home from work. After ordering the furniture we started building and got everything set up over one weekend. Hubby hand made our mobile. It is me, him, our dog, our cat and our soon-to-be daughter Olivia! The room will be complete when my hubby finishes a painting he is working on and hangs it. I wish I could fast forward six weeks so I can get my glider.

I love that chocolate color! I also love that it's not a "baby" room.

The transformation from office to nursery is great! The personality of father and mother awaiting their new arrival is clearly outlined throughout the room. Love the crib, rug and the door. Love that it follows it's own theme, not the traditional!

I love it! It's childish (in a good way; I know that word is usually negative, but I can't think of a better one!) while still (I'm guessing) maintaining the style you probably have in the rest of your home. It looks great! Is that rug from Anthropologie? I've been wanting the Anthro rug forever, but I'm not sure where/if I could use it; it's just something I love.

Our primary goal when making her room was to keep away from traditional as much as possible. I loved the modern clean lines of the Oeuf classic line. My husband is the artist and I couldn't find any mobiles that weren't primary colors and screamed baby. He made the dolls that represent our family, me, him, our dog, our cat and our soon-to-be daughter. We are still waiting for my glider to be delivered and he is working on a painting *of a cute sea monster* to put in her room. It's so much fun making her room and we still have alot more to do.
