My Room: Baby MacDrake
Los Angeles

Kress sent us the fantastic photos of "Baby MacDrake"s room. Here is the story: When we started planning Baby MacDrake's room, everything centered around the furniture. We splurged on the Litto Kids Manhattan furniture set and then realized we had to figure out how to make it fit in our tiny nursery (approximately 75 square feet). After overcoming the challenge of configuring the space, we filled the room with an eclectic....

...mix of homemade crafts (like the mobile made from Helen Ige's 'Birds of a Feather' mobile "stencil"), family heirlooms, and new baby treasures. No colors were off limits, but we were drawn to bright, vibrant accent pieces. The wall art includes a large abstract Picasso print and a few original pieces by local artists. Our goal was to create a modern space that was also playful, comfortable and accessible. We're very pleased with the results!

Thanks, Kress!

Very cute indeed. But as a native Californian, anything above the crib that could possibly fall during an earthquake always makes me nervous.

Is that a pair of ear defenders (acoustic earmuffs) hanging on the lower left quadrant of the pegboard?

I was given a military surplus pair when my daughter was in a screamy phase as an infant. She wore them to a B-52s concert a few years ago.

Over the years I've had so many questions about the orange peg board shelf, and sadly, I don't think it's available any more. I bought it at a super-discounted price when Hold Everything was going out of business. And yes, those are earmuffs hanging on it...Baby MacDrake's dad is a musician, so he wears them to concerts! MacDrake is a nickname -- combination of mom and dad's last names :)

Um, by the way, those ear protectors might be handy for mothering/fathering a colic-y baby. Those babies need to be walked a lot, which puts their raging mouth near the ear.

Did you make the elephant or do you know of somewhere it's for sale. It's so cute!
