A Nursery Makeover

Design allows us the magic of transformation. For most of us, we transformed an existing space (whether an office or guest room) into our current nursery. Sometimes it's even a hallway or a closet that is transformed.

Well, we stumbled on this nursery transformation- and not only was the office above transformed into an amazing nursery for a little girl, but it was transformed again into a completely different room because- whoops- the doctors made a mistake- it was a boy, not a girl!

Check out the two transformations below:

So, that cluttered office became...the pastel palace.

Only problem- it's a boy!

So, those hard working parents got to work- and came up with this.

You can find the whole makeover and more pics here. Anyone else had to do a quick do-over?

One of the biggest reasons we didn't find out the sex beforehand. Ultrasounds are not 100% accurate!

And another reason to go with a gender-neutral nursery.

Another ditto to MEP.

And maybe it's just me but I didn't think the original nursery was particularly 'feminine', anyway!

Yeah, why did it have to be "butched-up" so much? It's a baby.

Okay, before someone takes it the wrong way...

What I really meant is why couldn't the furniture; which was painted white, stay white? It seems they went and stripped it to show the woodgrain.

I agree. I didn't mind the first white transformation for a boy. But I have to say way to go on the motivation. I hardly had our room ready for our baby let alone redoing a room twice!

I changed my working room into a nursery for my daughter. I kept inside most of the home office furniture I had, because it was coloured and happy. I just changed the carpet, the curtains and brought in her little sweet bed. :)
