Scarlett's Sensational Secondhand Space
Nursery Tour

2010-01-scarlett0.jpg

Name: Scarlett
Age: due in January
Location: Silicon Valley, California

Most third (or fourth or fifth...) children are used to hand-me-downs from the very start, but when your mom pours her heart into making each thrifted, passed down or repurposed item beautiful and special for you there's nothing to complain about. Scarlett will be the newest addition to Jodi's family and the first girl. Her cozy, charismatic room is filled with feminine touches (many handmade by mom) without feeling the least bit frilly or frivolous.



Luc's Robotronic Lair
Nursery Tour

Name: Lucas Painter
Age: 2
Location: Lee's Summit, Missouri

When we were invited to a holiday party at the home of Adrean and Sonny Painter, we found ourselves sneaking away to snap a few photos of their son, Luc's robotronic lair of awesome. It's atomic in nature and packed with all his favorite things — Star Wars and Robots. This handmade space is packed with artwork, toys and most of all, color! Check out all the fun after the jump!

Indigo's Hyggelig Nook
Room Tour

121609-indigo-1.jpgName: Indigo Skye
Age: 3 years
Location: Mols National Park, Denmark

Fanciful. Cozy. Whimsical. Homey. And our new favorite word: hyggelig (a Danish word that means special, welcoming and inviting). We could comb the thesaurus and never run out of adjectives to describe Indigo's wonderful little hideaway. Filled with vintage finds and handmade treasures, it is truly a special place.

Sebastian and Ruby's Festive Delight
Room Tour (Reprise!)

ruby-sebastian-1.jpg

Children's names and ages: Sebastian (3.5) and Ruby (5 weeks)
Location: Missouri

It seems only fitting, as 2009 draws to a close, that we take a look back and see what changes the year has wrought. In this case, we're returning to check out the room formerly known as Sebastian's Blue Delight. It was a very popular tour several months ago, but there have been big changes since then. Sebastian's baby sister Ruby has moved in, and they -- and their mom Rachel -- have invited us back, just in time for a peek at this lovely shared room in all its Christmas glory.

Kids Room Tour

120109-tour1small.jpg

Name: Josh Trombley
Age: 2

You might remember Josh's room from the Small Kids Big Color Contest, but a few things have changed and we wanted to give this little man's space a proper showing. Take the full tour, packed with diy details everywhere you look!



Polly's Happy Place
Nursery Tour

112409-polly-3.jpgName: Polly
Age: 16 months
Location: Madison, Wisconsin

Hot on the heels of our Small Kids, Big Color contest comes Polly's room, which beautifully illustrates how a white backdrop serves as a perfect foil for lively color. Polly's mom, Katie, found her inspiration in a set of Ida Pearle alphabet cards, using them as a palette for repainting all the hand-me-down furniture in the room. The result is fresh and bright, yet still wonderfully restful.

Nursery Tour: Norah's Sweet and Sunny Nursery

2009-11-norah_sm.jpg

Name: Norah
Age: 4 months
Location: Utah

Norah's mom Caroline says she smiles every time she walks by this room and we can certainly see why. The aquas, yellows, reds, oranges and pinks manage to be both vivid and soothing at the same time to create a feeling of warmth and calm.



Mini Tour: Dylan's Teeny-Tiny Thunderdome

Two kids enter. All kids have fun! (Actually, it's just one kid in this case, but we couldn't resist that opener.) Dylan's fabulous room (aka "The Thunderdome") answers two questions: How can you create a beautifully uncluttered nursery in a 9x12' room? And how can rockstar flames be incorporated tastefully into baby decor?

Nursery Tour: Nina's Bright Vintage Room

102909dresser1.jpg

Name: Nina
Age: One month
Location: Montreal

Mom Marie was initially inspired by the turquoise color of an old bathroom cabinet she found at a flea market, and the rest of the room took off from there. She threw in a bunch of toys passed down from grandmothers and parents, and created a room that exudes character.



Mini Tour: Miles and Andrew's Bright and Airy Space

Here's a wonderful space to rev up your engines for our Small Kids, Big Color contest. This room is a classic example of an instance where, if you were to be presented with just the fabric swatches and paint chips that went into it, you could never visualize it all working -- but then magically it does!

Ava's Colorful, Handmade Haven
Kids Room Tour

101209-Ava-1a.jpg

Name: Ava Florence
Age: 2 years
Location: Birmingham, UK

Ava's mom, Joanna, is an interior designer who firmly believes that, when it comes to kids' rooms, the only color rule is that there are no rules. She gave us a tour of Ava's beautiful room, which features handmade items galore, and told us how it evolved from a white room that "looked a bit like a hospital" to the marvelous space that it is now.

Ozzy's Bright Safari
Nursery Tour

IMG_5464.jpg

Name: Ozzy
Age: 18 months
Location: Providence, Rhode Island

Ozzy’s Mom, Greer, never expected his nursery to become her favorite room in their house. In fact, she never expected to live in the house at all. She bought it to renovate and flip, but ended up moving in, starting a family, and creating a bright and colorful nursery complete with wonderful wall-sized animals that she designed and painted herself just 2 weeks before Ozzy was born.
