Dotty Modern Nursery Idea

by Chris Moseley

Our nursery idea was to create a space for Saxon that didn’t completely spell B-A-B-Y, a room that she wouldn’t outgrow right away.

Wow. What a difficult task it was. Especially considering most baby furniture/decor looks like it was designed by a twelve year old using her "Groovy Barbie Furniture Designer" CD or her "It’s gotta be Pooh" templates.

The modern furniture items are the Aerial Crib and Platform Dresser both by NurseryWorks.

We used 3 "cartons" of the Dottilicious WallCandy Arts Multi-Color Dots. (They come in a big tube.)

We tried no less than 10 different paint colors - and about 5 or 6 different pinks. We even had the room professionally painted, still didn't like it and had the painter come back again the next day to apply the winning paint - French Pink by Ralph Lauren Paint.

The rug is the Rosalie Area Rug by Haba.

The Penguin Humidifier by Crane is a cool mist humidifier. It works by making water vapor through a rapidly turning disk within the water of the humidifier. Because the vapor from the machine is not heated, there is no risk of burning the child should the water spill or if she places her face close to where the vapor escapes.

And that's about it - what do you think?

My husband and I are hoping to adopt a baby girl soon, and I love this dot to dot design. It totally screams my style. I want to try a slightly darker color wall. Thanks for the awesome inspiration.
