We've seen oversized rulers as growth charts on Apartment Therapy before. Seeing other oversized measuring devices being used for growth charts is also tickling our fancy.

Name: Oliver
Location: San Francisco

Woodsy Window Stickers
• $18
• My Sweet Muffin

I often overlook windows when considering ways to customize a rental space, but window stickers can be an ideal way to add to a room impermanently. These, from France, adhere via static electricity so you absolutely won't be getting out the Goo Be Gone when you're ready to move on. Also available: circus and rockets. More

Grey continues to be a hot in the nursery. We spotted this grey nursery in combination with soft pink - a throwback to the 80s but also fresh and modern. More

Name: Liem (14 months)
Location: Houston, TX

Liem's room was inspired by the outdoors, mainly a camp room. My husband and I are avid outdoorsy people so we wanted to instill that sense of adventure in our son's room. More
