apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I love that you left carpet in the room. I think a kid's room should be comfortable and, until they get past the crawling phase, all these hard floors are just the opposite.

the ceiling is amazing! how did you do it?

The honeycomb ceiling is awesome! And I like the black inside the shelves--so not traditional nursery. Good job.

love that ceiling and the sophisticated colors! we just found out baby # 2 is on the way so i'm getting lots of ideas from this contest!

also would love more info on the ceiling!

I recognize the rocking chair from eq3. Is it comfortable? I like it a lot, but it seems low. . .

I like the idea of the ceiling, but in actual practice, I really disike that color.

Good for you, creating a room that is truly for the baby!

Cool! And this would totally transition for tweens, etc. Excellent.

How did you do the honeycombs?

Thanks for all the positive feedback!

The ceiling was a labour of love. First we tried to tape off a honeycomb pattern, but promptly gave up and painted the ceiling a solid yellow. Then we individually painted and cut the wood, glued it together in sections and then nailed it with a compressor to the ceiling - the process was 40 hours.

The rocker from eq3 is not something I would recommend. I spend most of the day in our living room and use our sectional or the womb chair for nursing.


Thanks again everyone.

This is wonderful! What a bold & creative use of color.

Absolutely wonderful-she will grow with the room!!! Love the use of colour and graphics-I love it!!!!

Amazing! 2 thumbs up!

Amazing room. And the window bench is every girls dream :) ..... The butterfly wallpaper is my favorite and works great with the honeycomb ceiling!!

Great job on a one-of-a-kind space.

love it! each detail is clearly thought out.

friggin amazing.

Love the honeycomb ceiling, but I wish the walls had bees, not butterflies.

something very different and looks very cozy!
