What inspired you?
To create a warm, loving room we used things we shared a past with, that were saved (and in the case of the bed and 'commode' even made), by our parents and grandparents, from our own childhood, or family gifts.
We had little money when we moved in here and quickly had to make two kids' rooms out of one. Also, we believe in earth-friendly, longtime solutions and recycling.The gorgeous wall colour was also a solution for the reappearing yellow stains of an old chimney leak. I work with vintage textiles and used some for decoration.
Great Tip:
Follow your heart and use what you love. Don't be too afraid of big furniture or bold colours in a small space. If you have a consistent colour scheme it will probably work out fine.

I love the floor and the whole weed effect - it is warm and cosy.
One thing that always bothers me: changing tables in the US always have you changing the baby from the side - it seems more practical to have the baby facing you.

I love that this room is not "cookie-cutter". It has style and a classic element about it. Well done!
