I'd edit my previous comment to include this if I could ... here's a a shot of my son's nursery with the same curtains:

Our nurseries are so similar! My walls are dark grey though (as is my La-Z-Boy rocker) and I also went with a dark yellow as the main accent colour. In fact, I had my grandmother make the curtains using the same yellow chevron fabric, also lined with blackout material! So naturally, I think this room is fantastic =P

My son is still bunking beside my bed in his bassinet, but we hope to put him in his crib in his nursery next week as he'll be 3 months. Hope he loves his room as much as I do!

Wow, I LOVE this!! Very inspiring!! Does anyone know where I can pick up a calendar like this?

I thought C&B sold them but I don't see it listed on their site. I also don't see calendars this large available on Staples' or Office Depot Canada's websites :(

I've been seeing this idea (bed in nursery) pop up on so many of my favourite design blogs recently. It's such a no-brainer to me, and will definitely be something I do when the time comes. Not sure if I'll do a daybed that I can move to a different room later, or a real bed, but will definitely be doing one of the two.

My parents put a double bed in the nursery when I was born. My mother spent many nights in that bed when I was a newborn. Then, when I was 3 or so and had outgrown my crib, I went straight to the double bed. It made so much more sense than buying a twin only to upgrade later.

^^ This was a previous apartment of his. I believe he does own his own home now.

Thank you SO much for this tutorial and for the inspiration!!

I wanted french outswing doors for my all of my closets. I shelled out close to $400 for custom shaker panel french doors for my entrance closet and knew we couldn't afford to put in 2 more in our master bedroom. So this is the PERFECT solution!

The only thing is that I don't love the profile of the 6-panel door. Maybe I could try plain doors ... hmmm ...

Maybe it's just the angle, but I find this the opposite of cohesive. The 2 contrasting colours are too much of a contrast for me. I personally have a similar bowling-alley living room/dining room and used 2 Le Klint pendants to unify the space.

IKEA sells something similar but it's not that shallow. It's the 'high cabinet' in the 'Godmorgon' line and measures about 15" deep. I love the look and am putting one in my guest bath in high-gloss white!

I have a big fat Holland lop rabbit who molts 4 times/year. Each molting session lasts up to 2 months -- it's brutal!

I remove tufts of loose fur to control the amount of loose fur flying around it's not good for his digestive system if he consumes a lot of fur. He can't cough up fur balls the way a cat can.

And I run my vacuum cleaner in the two rooms he runs around in daily. I have a Dyson and I can't sing it's praises loud enough!

I actually have leather couches in my living room which doesn't attract any fur. My husband is renovating our family room, downstairs, which I will be furnishing this summer. I hadn't even considered that the fabric would collect hair until reading this post. I'm not worried though -- I can't remember what show this was one, but I saw a woman use dish gloves to gather pet hair off the couch. It worked like a charm!

This sounds more complicated than it probably should ... Imma need to see a video!
