apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This is really nice -- and I appreciate seeing a shared room. When my first baby was born, he was in our room with us. Everyone asked me what "theme" my nursery was!

I love that I can see your 20 day old baby in the crib. Tiny little thing! I also shared room with my newborn as we lived in a one bedroom apartment. At first I was disappointed that I don't get to decorate a nursery, but when the baby was born, I realized I would go insane if the baby was in another room and I was going back and forth each time she woke up. To tell the truth I still share the room with my 1 year old, and we ended up making a co-sleeper by taking one wall of the crib down and connecting it to our bed. It's just easier that way. Hopefully she'll move out soon though. Thanks for this post for showing that you can still make it look good when sharing rooms with your baby.

The wall stickers are so fun and chic at the same time. Your bed posts look fabulous too.
Like Lisa above, none of my children have ever had a nursery and always shared with us so it's really great to see how you've integrated the nursery nook in such a stylish way.

Very nice, and I love how you recycled an old changing table to match. They can be expensive and really don't get used all that long.

Even if we had many extra bedrooms, my baby would have slept in our room for her first six or eight months of life. I was raised that way, it feels natural to me to have the baby close, although she sleeps in her crib nearby, not in our bed. But now she's getting older (she's eight months) and we need to move her out to her own room.

Great chair -- and the circles look like her dreams floating up from her crib.

Hi! My friend sent me your link and said "there is another Hagen in the world". My 14 mo. son is named Hagen. Wondering how you arrived at your name for your baby g. We found it in a book that my parents used to name my brothers and me. It was written in 1950. Anyway, I noticed the name, but kept it to myself. A few nights later, my husband was looking thru it and said "I like the name Hagen." I said "So do I!!!" So, that was that!

Amanda, our Hagen is actually a girl and her 2 year old big sister is named Palmer. To say I am a golf fan would be a HUGE understatement! Both girls are named after two legendary players of the game. Walter Hagen and Arnold Palmer are the influential name sakes. When we were throwing out names for the kids, I was very surprised that my wife approved these for girls. I just hope the girls won’t be too upset that they are named after men. Congrats to you and your husband on Hagen. It is very cool to know that is another one out there. Maybe they paths will cross one day.

I love the story! Well, we have lots of unisex personalized things around here. If you are interested, give me your email and when we are done with them, I can contact you to see if you would be interested in them. Where are you located?

Amanda
