apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Congratulations on your baby girl and on such a pretty room!

I love how you took one duvet cover and pillow from Ikea and used it to create all of those details throughout the room.

The Callie bedding is on sale now -- super cheap ($5.99 for crib sheet in red.)

I really like the wrought iron thing on the wall with blankets. Where did you get that? What a great way to store blankets.

I second the liking of the iron blanket storage - really neat idea!

Love it! We are expecting our second child and our nursery walls are a similar color. I will definitely use this for inspiration, because I love the touches of bright colors throughout the room. Congratulations on your baby girl!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone! I got the iron wine rack from a place called Rod Works. I believe they have a website you can order from. I originally bought it to store towels in because my home at the time didn't have any place for linen storage. Oh -- and mere1975, I bought the Callie bedding after it was on sale, so I got the great deal! Thanks for the heads up! :)

This room just makes me smile! And I agree with everyone, the wine rack turned blanket holder is an ingenious idea.

I love it all and hope you win!!!!

LOVE IT!!!

So creative, colorful, cheery and cozy!

The blue little owl on the hammock is my favorite :)

RUBY RULES!!!

Adoption! Yay! Congratulations on bringing Ruby into your family.

Your room is wonderful. You did such a great job. My personal favorite is the "bow hanger." We always have such a hard time trying to keep track of our daughter's bows. It's a great idea!

Stunning room - so sunny and bright. Lucky Ruby to have such a lovely first bedroom.

I love the balance between the details and the sense of spaciousness. This is quite a small room in reality, and being able to have interesting features for little eyes to look at without visual cluttering takes true talent.

Congratulations Megan and Shane on a

Lovely! So cheerful. And a wonderful story too. I'm glad the birth mother picked you.

Love the room! Beautiful wall color and bedding! Congratulations on your adoption... we're hoping to adopt soon as well!

Love it! You have a talent for decorating.

Nice room! Is that fabric stretched over a cork board?

You did a fabulous job! Her room is gorgeous! Any little girl would be in heaven in that room!

This room is sooo cute!! It is totally Ruby Jane's room and perfect for her mommy too! I love the colors. I love the details. It's just sooo perfect in every way!!

This room is too cute, I love the raggedy Ann and Andy and the name above the crib, such a happy place for a sweet baby!!

truenb -- yes, the fabric is over an old cork board. We painted the frame and since the frame was stapled around the cork, we used a putty knife to jam the fabric into the edges under the frame tight.

camhill2000 -- the Raggedy Ann and Andy were made by a friend/neighbor of my parents when I was born, so they are extra special to me (as are several other little details in the room created and given by various family members and friends).

Thank you everyone, I blush a little when I read your sweet comments!

I love Ruby's room! It's darling! I really like the colors. It's so cheery. Can't wait to see it! I love all of it!

It came out so cute! Wonderful job. Ruby is a very lucky girl :)

Love this room. It all came together so nicely. The perfect room for such an adorable baby named Ruby. Great job. Love the Raggedy Ann & Andy.

This is the exact same wall color that is in our guest room which is our soon to be kids' room. We will be becoming parents through foster care/adoption. Love the room! Congrats on your baby girl :)

This would be my favorite room for curling up with a book and taking a little nappy nap in the hammock! It's comforting and livable, yet very detail oriented. Before I read any of the descriptions, I loved the colorful wall hanging with the flowers on ribbon. Then I realized they were Ruby's hair bows! I guess I need to get me some of those to decorate my walls.:) The room is just beautiful!

Fabulous!!!

Will you come help me decorate my girls' room!? It looks beautiful!

Lovely room! Is the red on the sheet and bed skirt a fire engine red or closer to a coral red? Sorry, love the design but it's hard to tell from the pics and I'm trying to match a red chair...thanks!

AWESOME! It looks so professional!

Congratulations on little Ruby, she is adorable . And congratulations on creating such a pretty room for your precious girl. I hope you win.

This room is all heart and soul! I looks just as bright and cheery as this family is!

I just love this room! The colors and accessories go so well together. I'm sure your baby just loves it!

ElissaB -- funny -- the red of the bed skirt is more rich and the sheet is almost orangey-bright red, but when they are not right next to each other you can't tell they aren't exactly the same. I guess coral red is a good way to describe it. It's a very "IKEA" color to me. Luckily, my rug has red and orange, and red orange, so it works fine for us. If you e-mail me at shaneandmegan@gmail.com I'd be happy to send you a close-up shot.

You are all so kind -- thank you!

Wow! I love it Hiltons! It is so cute. Is that your R.A. & R.A. from when you were little? You guys did a great job and the colors are so great. Come and do my house!

I wish I had your knack at decorating Megan! It looks awesome.

Fun bright room! I love it!

Beautiful! Looks so pro!

Amazing! Hope you win!!

I LOVE IT!!! I love the hair bow frame!

Adorable!

This is the most beautiful nursery I've ever seen!

I just have to say that I love how feminine the room is without pink. I have always thought that would be something that is hard to do, but this room is such a great example of doing just that, being feminine without too much pink.
The more I look at the pictures, the more I love the room! I love the blanket rack. I love the rug and crib set too! Oh, and I love that you utilize the space on the wall using those shelves along the ceiling.
I'm sure when you turn on the globe lamps at night it feels so magical to be rocking the sweet baby girl you longingly waited for.
I also really love the "Ruby Jane" on the wall. It claims the space in such a colorful and friendly way.
It is all just beautiful!

So Cute! Love the yellow

i love the cheery, welcoming yellow babies room! many of the other infant rooms are a little too busy. too much for a little one to take in considering they can't see colors for a while... just shapes. i'm all for encouraging learning, but some of the others are overkill!

so cute and relaxing and everything in it's place! love it.

precious.

I love it! The bedding, the rug, everything! I'm going to steal the blanket rack idea!

super cute!

great room for a very lucky girl!

Beautiful! It makes me happy.

SOOOO adorable! Looks SO prefessional!

WOW what a room !

What an adorable and gorgeous room. We need to hire you to come design our boys' rooms.

Just so darling, in every way! Ruby Jane is so blessed! Thanks for sharing your creativity. Yes, so cute to store her blankets that way on the wall with the rack from Rod Works! One of my fav stores . . . I like her name on the wall in the picture frames.

love this one!

Love the colors and the arrangement. Puts a smile on my face when I see it. Great job.

What a great room for a beautiful baby girl! I love it!

Beautiful room!
