Color Inspiration: We love bright colors but also wanted to create a calm environment. We initially selected a soft gray, bright blue and lime green as the color palette. However, once we saw a horizontal branch used in a Blue Owl Nursery on Project Nursery we wanted to copy it exactly (and we did!). From there we incorporated yellow, orange and white throughout the room.

Color Inspiration: I was inspired by the over-sized Asian toile print used to make the custom bedding. It was full of soft yet vibrant colors, and I wanted to create a space that was both dynamic and relaxing for my sassy Fiona. This bedroom is north facing, and the room color adds to the warmth of the room,especially at night with the lights dimmed.

Color Inspiration: I found a yellow Ikat fabric which I loved. Yellow is such a happy colour! We used that as a jumping off point, choosing 3 4 other complimentary yellow fabrics, and the yellow theme was born!

Color Inspiration: The room was inspired by a children's book author/ illustrator Laura Ljungvist. She uses bold colors and accentuates the geometry of objects in a unique and graphically dynamic way. Her "Follow the Line" series of books are fantastic.

Color Inspiration: This room used to be the Master; we'd originally painted the red walls for us parents. When I set out to do an update on the room the girls begged me to keep the colour. (They are their mother's daughters.) I added in more colour and white where possible to keep it from being dark and overwhelming. The quilt on the bed was made by me, with contributions from an on-line quilt bee. It's a great focal point with my grandmother's embroidery above the bed. Ultimately, it is a bright room that for sleeping, playing, and creating. It also showcases family creativity in handmade treasures like the quilts and embroidery, but also my father's crochet and their own artwork.

Color Inspiration: Color inspiration for the room came in the form of a quilt, made for baby Betsy by her Great Aunt Betsy. As soon as Great Aunt Betsy gave us the quilt we knew it was a perfect inspiration piece. Betsy's quilt is beautifully made and filled with love, exactly the sentiment we want for her nursery! Betsy's room doesn't have any windows and can be quite dark, so the colors used in the quilt - red, blue, yellow, orange, pink & green - were good candidates to brighten things up and bring some little girl sweetness to an industrial-style loft space.

Color Inspiration: Forests and meadows and the natural world. Nearly everything in Ezra's room is animal and nature-themed (his mom is a veterinarian and a wildlife ecologist), and the green walls help bring a bit of the forest into what was otherwise a drab room. The orange accents also liven things up. We live in a quite old, small apartment, and simple things like adding a coat of bright paint on the walls, painting the ugly wall radiator, and adding some warm mood lighting really helps to freshen up the space.

Color Inspiration: The cover of my husband's childhood French copy of 'Tintin L'Ile Noire' by Herge and illustrated by Casterman. He has every copy and has handed them down to our first son and now soon to be our second.

Color Inspiration: While I was pregnant, I fell in love with all shades of turquoise, especially all the nurseries featured on Ohdeedoh with turquoise and yellow. Also found the awesome zoo animal, cheerful curtain from Target to cover Levi's closet. It set the stage for the rest of the room. Most of all, I adore bright colors!
