What inspired you?

Eclecticism! A fish illustration from a vintage record album inspired the fun mural (that I am almost finished painting!). We also love the old English warehouse clock that we picked up at a country antique fair and had repaired.

The toy chest in invaluable for cleaning up at the end of the day-old British homes have no closets or storage areas! the fish mobile is a Flensted mobile from Denmark. Modern Cot bought in London which converts to a toddler bed.

Great Tip:

Don’t feel like you need to totally decorate a room in one go-let
things evolve over time using items from unique and cherished sources. Don't be afraid to mix old and new!

I like that its not all "baby" and cutsie. I really like the furniture in there, makes it not so nursery. Also, gorgeous old fireplace!

Awesome. I totally love the clock too, though I would put it up higher (it's bugging me, but that's just me). I love the dresser too. All very nice!

The room looks so cosy. I love the big clock and the built in bookshelves.
