I love this. And I think this idea is completely possible to execute safely (which might be the case here). It looks like the frame/mirror is actually resting on the floor and leaning against, not hanging on, the wall. As long as it's well secured to the wall at the top and the mirror is acrylic and not glass (like jackied302 mentioned) I think you'd be in business.

There are so many things I love about this room, but the mobile is my absolute favorite. It's sweet as can be!

I couldn't agree more: the bed arrangement is genius. It's like the longest, coziest window seat ever. And the rug and pendant shade are really lovely. I love this room!

ToniRenee -- I wish I could take credit for the pillows, but it goes to Anthropologie. It's the Alhambra bedding set which I believe they've discontinued now.

The combo of that gorgeous wallpaper with that crib and "La La Love You" print makes me weak in the knees. Sooo Lovely. BTW, kudos for choosing a print for the walls that doesn't read "baby" at all. It's sophisticated but somehow still playful and right on for this nursery.

A couple more notes for the recent questions:

wall paint color: "Eggshell" by Behr (it's actually the color name and not the finish, I promise).

aqua cubes: I bought them at Target about a year ago.

And Colette, thanks for your props on the name choice. We love it too. Haven't run into any other Colettes until now!

The teepee, sweet little birdhouse, rocking moose and plantation shutters are killer. You managed a nice balance of sweet and playful touches while keeping it clean and simple. Well done!

Colette's Mama here. Thanks for all the kind words, you guys! I'm just basking in the sweet comments. In response to the questions so far:

paper for the mobile: I printed different shades and tints of yellow in cardstock weight on my printer and laminated them together before cutting them into circles.

rocker: Pottery Barn kids (via Craig's List) with an Ikea lambskin on the cushion.

cribskirt: resized queen bedskirt from Anthro (again, on clearance!).

lantern lights: http://www.amazon.com/White-Paper-Lantern-String-Lights/dp/B001BZLWSW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1289253804&sr=8-1 (only $4.99!). And then I attached the paper mini bunting flags.

Thanks again for the love!
