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

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

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

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.

Kids' Room Tour: Eva's Pale Blue Beauty

Name: Sean, Emily and Eva Paben
Age: 5
Location: Texas

> > Enter Slideshow

We love examples of great looks at even better prices. If you have a knack for finding the right look and still be at, or below your budget, then we salute you. Eva's space shows a lovely room that was affordable and fun to put together.

Oliver's Well-Traveled Bedroom
Kids Room Tour

Name: Oliver
Age: 2
Location: Providence, Rhode Island

Oliver is barely two years old, but he’s already lived in three different bedrooms on two different sides of the country. He just moved out of this room (his second) and even though it came together amidst some chaos and compromise and he only lived there for a year, it holds a ton of wonderful memories that we want to hold on to forever.

Nursery Tour: No Gray Skies for Mallory Gray

Name: Mallory Gray
Age: 2 months old
Location: Hickory, NC

Enter Slideshow

Often parents choose yellow when creating a nursery without knowing if they're having a boy or a girl and it can feel like a compromise, but here a buttery yellow paired with gray, bright white and rich woods results in a sophisticated and playful space where yellow is the star.

Mini Tour: A Shared Gender-Neutral Space

As anyone with more than one child can tell you, when you add more children to your family, organizing who sleeps where can turn into an ad hoc affair. We caught this room -- shared by Jeremiah (2.5 years) and Mia (2 months) -- in the middle of a makeover, and we were impressed at how gracefully it's transitioning from one to two occupants.

Hank & Dexter's Hand-painted Vintage Hideaway
Kids Room Tour

Name: Hank & Dexter
Age: 2 ½ (twins)
Location: Providence, Rhode Island

Twins Hank & Dexter’s wonderfully unique nursery combines dark elements — like the black animal silhouettes on the wall that were hand-painted by their mom, Jen — with lots of bright, playful accessories to create an exciting and memorable space.

Nursery Tour: Julian's Music-filled Room

Name: Julian Maziar Mellano
Age: 3-1/2 months
Location: Los Angeles, CA

According to mom Mandana this nursery was inspired by the original Casalino orange chair from her own childhood and designed to be gender-neutral. The vibe they went for was "modern, minimalist, clean and happy." Mission accomplished.

Mini Tour: Chloe's Restful Vintage Space

When we last peeked inside Jade's home, it was to tour her daughter Makena's "big girl" room. Jade is expecting her second daughter, Chloe, any time now, and we were thrilled when she offered us a glimpse of Chloe's space. Featuring vintage and Etsy finds alongside precious handmade items, this room is as lovely as it is soothing.

Mini Nursery Tour: Charley Mae's Modern Eclectic

We spotted this fresh room by an Urban Outfitters designer for his first daughter and had to show it to you. It's full of fun stuff including a funky mural, zebra rug, and a bird mobile made by designer friends at Anthropologie. Charley Mae is one lucky girl!

Nursery Tour: Baby Daley's Room-to-Be

Names: Jaime & Liam, room prepared for Baby Daley, due late September 2009
Location: Brooklyn, NY

Jaime and Liam are still expecting, but their baby boy's nursery awaits with a mix of old and new (Liam's grandfather's display cabinet alongside a modern crib), and a love of warm vintage colors and gender-neutral decor...

Nursery Tour: Parker's Black and White Beauty

Name: Parker Hayes
Age: 18-months-old
Location: Chicago

> > Enter Slideshow

We've always loved the look of black and white with red accents. There's just something so modern and bold about the combination. Parker's room is a great example of how a splash of red can be just the thing to really make black and white sing even more!
