I really like this room because it looks genuinely loved and lived in, unlike some of the other nursery tours where they have been designed to suit adult tastes (and lifestyles). I think most children would adore this room!

Hi Meg,

I wanted to post again to say that I truly do think you have created a beautiful room. I am also a teacher and know only too well the benefits of calm, peaceful and ordered spaces for children to grow, develop and learn (and as an adult, I appreciate how much I need them too).

I hope you and your wee family enjoy the space you have created,

Fiona

Wrenx,

You're absolutely right! Ruairi's pre-arrival room was fairly tasteful and I had wanted to implement a no-plastic-all-wooden-toys rule but alas, I have come to realise that children however small have their own taste, which seems to err towards all things tacky ;-)

Laughed at the post above this - you're so right about the mini-gym appeal of most furniture!

and I meant to say "its" - sorry for the bad grammar!

Whilst I think this room is a beautiful space to look at, I wonder how much of it really does cater for a growing child rather than it's lifestyle conscious parents. Like a previous poster suggested, I would love to see the room photographed again once Finn is here and has experienced a couple of Christmases and birthdays - would the room be just as serene? (and should it be?)
