Ohdeedoh Kids' Color Contest Entry #1: A Circus-Themed Nursery for Triplets

Ohdeedoh Kids' Color Contest
Entry #1: A Circus-Themed Nursery for Triplets

Name: Pam
Location: New Orleans
Children: Linus, Oliver, and Miles, 10 months old

Inspiration: My first inspiration was a circus-themed toile. Since we didn't know the sex of the triplets before they were born, I wanted to do a gender-neutral room but NOT yellow or sage green. I really wanted blue-green. Once I found the color, everything came together after that.

Tip for Using Color: Use colors that make you happy. A nursery should be a joyous room, not somber and boring. At the same time, you don't want anything jarring that might keep the babies awake!

Colors Used: The wall color is Seven Lakes by Glidden.

I'm confused by the height of the curtain rods...they aren't with the top of the window or line up with the molding and I find it really distracting
but, otherwise, love the color and the triangle banners

The wall color is fabulous. You deserve an award for being a mother of triplets AND having a cute room.

I love the room--I particularly love the way you have three different white cribs. It's nice to give each baby his own space. Also, the wall color is gorgeous. And congrats on triplets, wow! I have one baby and can't imagine having three.

Pam does indeed deserve a medal...not only does she have triplets with a supercute room (i, too, love the non-identical white cribs), she manages to have a non-mommy job and to maintain a blog which she actually updates regularly. Milo, Oliver, and Linus are lucky kiddos...Love the color of the room and the bookcase (probably because I have it, too...is that a lateral expedit?)

P.S. Pam, this is the fellow New Orleanian who inherited your snugride. Our kiddo was finally born TWELVE days late....she is enjoying your hand-me-down.
