This one of my favorite nurseries! Will be bookmarking it for inspiration when the time comes. Love all the colors and textures. Amazing job!

My brother and I received little gifts on an advent calendar my grandma had knitted for us. My mom kept it simple and small — pretty pencils, erasers, hair clips, socks, or really little toys, so it was not too overwhelming for her. I loved it so much, and it was probably the only month I jumped out of bed in the mornings with enthusiasm. ;) My mom/grandma are Finnish so it definitely must be a Scandinavian tradition!

So proud! :) I'm Finnish, though I live in the States. I love that they do this. And I second the comment by Kaete — what's great is the idea behind it, of your country recognizing and welcoming your baby, a new little citizen. Aww.

My initial thought was also a paint job, possibly dark grayish blue. Maybe paint the drawer fronts a slightly different shade (or another color altogether), so that the contrast makes the eyes go first to those "masculine" corner edges of the drawers, and not the curvy, more feminine shapes elsewhere.

Finns have a lot of respect for designers, architects, artists, composers, etc., so it makes sense to feature one on the bills. I miss the markkas too, they were lovely, but euros are convenient! I do remember Australian money being fascinatingly colorful...

What timing! I'm in the process of making my map to sell at my shop on etsy, both on paper and fabric! I love maps so much. It's quite hard to find an accurate, modern looking one...

Really love this bright, colorful room. I love the colors you've chosen, everything looks really cohesive. Plus it looks like it'll transition really well into a little man's room!

Wow, that is an amazing playhouse! Very lucky little girl. How cute is her dress, too? The Scandis do it right...

Aw, so cute! Well done on the cake, it's amazing! Your kiddo (and HIS kids!) will love seeing the photos of it later on, I'm sure. :)

Hehe. The title made me laugh. Too many feets for me, definitely.

How cute—I love the pops of yellow (I'm a fan) and the book shelving. Nicely done!

Lovely! I wonder how hard this would be to pull off... even a circle shape would be so cozy!

This is so lovely! The colors are just right—bright and cheerful but not overpoweringly so. Well done. You should sell those mobiles! :)
