A Modern Toddler Room Makeover

A Modern Toddler Room Makeover

When LilSugar Community member MrsPiecemaker (otherwise known as Janey) decided her 2-and-a-half-year-old son's nursery was ready for a "big boy" makeover, she went for a sleek, modern approach. "Finding new uses for old items can make the transition easier," she said. "I did it because I didn't want to have to put another item into our already-full storage room." Check out how she tackled the transitional tot's room here!

Spencer's Color-Poppin' Nursery

When your mom is a stylist and interior designer and your dad is a comedian and producer of Chelsea Lately, you're probably going to have a pretty cool, quirky room. And little Spencer's nursery doesn't disappoint. Shannon Wollack wasn't afraid of color when she designed Spencer's space, filling it with pops of orange, electric blue, and, most awesome of all, chartreuse. But those bold colors are grounded with lots of black-and-white elements, including a zebra rug and accessories and an amazing Alexander Calder lithograph hanging over the custom-made dresser. Check out all the details here. Source: Shannon Wollack

Wren's Globe-Trotting, Industrial Nursery

Wren's Globe-Trotting, Industrial Nursery

Baby Wren's parents spent a majority of their preparenting days exploring the world, so when it came time to settle down and create a permanent space for their new arrival, they wanted the room to reflect their wanderlust. "My husband and I love traveling, maps, and National Geographic," says Wren's mom, photographer Heather Cook Elliott. "We thought it would be great to design a room for our new little traveler using the magazine as the inspiration."

Heather also had to consider the unusual layout of her home: "an old warehouse with cream city brick and half-height walls." "Our baby's room is also part of the living space in a way that most nurseries aren't, so we wanted the room to be adult and modern," she says. The result is a space that highlights the couple's traveling spirit with photos Heather took while on a safari in Tanzania, an awesome and affordable globe mobile, and lots of National Geographic yellow, along with modern elements (check out the white leather rocker!) that come together to create one gorgeous, global nursery.

Charlie's Red, White, and Striped Nursery

Charlie's Red, White, and Striped Nursery

It takes one brave, design-obsessed mama to paint three-toned stripes on her nursery wall at 35 weeks pregnant, but that's exactly what Belinda of Nest Design Studio did while expecting her second son, Charlie. That striped wall isn't the only beyond-amazing element in the room. We're also loving the replica egg chair and pint-sized Eames table, the scattering of Ikea spice racks as book holders, and the gallery wall that's both modern and totally kid-appropriate.

When it came time to transform her son's nursery into a big-boy room, Michelle, owner of Vintage Junky who also sells her wares on Etsy, did what she does best: repurposing old furniture pieces and adding some character-rich artworks and DIY projects. See all the vintage-junky style here, including an awesome DIY paper airplane mobile, a teepee with its own DIY campfire and faux-fur rug, and some seriously covetable chalkboard art made by Michelle's husband.

A Serene But Playful Little Boy's Room

A Serene But Playful Little Boy's Room

Most moms would agree that the goal of designing a nursery or child's room is to create a space that reflects the aesthetic of the rest of the house while also serving as a special enclave for the little one who lives there. The room that Nancy Twomey of Alexandria, VA-based Finnian's Moon Interiors designed for the 2012 DC Design House is pure magic. The space is supremely serene, but it's also filled with playful touches that would make a little boy feel right at home. From the red wagon-turned-bookshelf to the delicate giraffe hooks, we're captivated by every detail. Click through, and be inspired!

Adella and Nolan's Creative, Book-Filled Playroom

When Lexi Adams — a former fashion designer, blogger, and mom to Adella, 4, and toddler Noah — was looking for a new house with her husband, Tim, finding a home with a potential play space was at the top of her wish list. While the home they found wasn't quite playroom-ready, after two years of renovation and lots of trips to Ikea, they turned what was a home office into a light, gender-neutral, creativity-boosting playroom and tot-friendly library.

When J.Crew Creative Director Jenna Lyons put her Brooklyn townhouse on the market this past November, we benefited from the incredible virtual home tour.

The yellow-and-white-striped ceiling has a circus-like quality to it, and a single charcoal-colored chalkboard wall adds sophistication and whimsy at once, offering Beckett a fun space to get creative. Check out more photos here. Source: Sotheby's International Realty and J. Crew

Sophisticated, Glam, Navy-and-White Nursery

Sophisticated, Glam, Navy-and-White Nursery

Nursery design and sophisticated style don't often go hand in hand, but Kate, one of five women who make up the blog Collect 5, proves that it can be beautifully achieved. The space she created for her son Claude, who was born earlier this year, was initially inspired by amazing kids' creations from high-end designers Jennifer Delonge and Kelly Wearstler, but Kate managed to re-create the luxe look using a combination of high-end and extremely budget-friendly pieces. While she splurged on a few items (including that amazing Thomas Paul for Duralee curtain fabric), she also scored deals on a big-box crib, a steal of a chandelier, and her husband's childhood bed, all of which make this room look deceptively expensive.

Baby Giacomo's Yellow-and-Gray Chevron Nursery

We love a baby room that's modern, soothing, and, unexpectedly, yellow and gray. Baby Giacomo's nursery, with its chevron-painted wall, stands out from the crowd. The space is filled with thoughtful details and plenty of one-of-a-kind DIY projects, courtesy of creative mom Nadia of Mamemimany. The former architect even created the chevron wall pattern using AutoCAD software, and her husband and mom helped out with the painting. Click here to see more photos.

Cool Shades of Aqua, Gray, and Orange

Cool Shades of Aqua, Gray, and Orange

We love the trend in childrens' rooms of cool over cutesy. And when a decor scheme is able to encompass kid-friendly patterns and colors that can grow with the little one, well, that's the best of both worlds. Utah-based interior designer Kirsten Krason accomplished just that when she made over a bare-bones little boy's room in soothing but fun shades of aqua, gray, and orange. See more photos here.

Family-Friendly High Design in New York

Family-Friendly High Design in New York

Five active kids, five bedrooms, almost 5,000 square feet, and unlimited creativity (and we're guessing an equally large budget). That was the starting point for this amazing New York City loft and Incorporated Architecture and Design, the company charged with turning the cavernous space into a kid-friendly, colorful, fun space. Mom in residence Kelly grew up in Santa Cruz, CA, and while she loves raising her kids in Battery Park, she wanted to re-create the front and backyard of her childhood — indoors. An urban treehouse, which cleverly incorporates Cole & Son's Woods wallpaper, a life-sized cartoon tree in a girls' room, and areas dedicated to climbing, playing, dancing, homework, piano, and more accomplish her dream in outrageous style.

Skip the teddy bears and puppy dogs, and instead infuse some animal inspiration to your nursery in the form of subtle tiger and zebra print accents. This Pottery Barn Kids-outfitted room also shows that it's OK to go with a dark wall color in the nursery — just keep furniture and carpeting light and bright.

A Traditional Space For Your Little Space Explorer

A Traditional Space For Your Little Space Explorer

Your big boy's room may already be the final frontier when it comes to keeping a clean house, and now it can look like that even when it's clean. We love Pottery Barn Kids' Nathan bedding collection complete with planets, stars, and even the requisite alien. The solar system mobile hanging from the ceiling helps complete the room and carry the space theme up vertically.
