Name: Ophelia
Age: 7 months
Location: Calgary, Canada
Color Inspiration: I wanted a high-contrast room that would satisfy my daughters growing curiosity. The inspiration came from a Brooklyn nursery shown in Domino magazine last year with a yellow and white striped ceiling and black feature wall.
Give Carla & Ophelia a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!

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

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.

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

Very cool! Can you tell me where you got the lamps? I am looking for something similar but in orange.
