What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in putting together this room? I wanted a room that is both modern and with very little memory of the past, antique pieces for children, unusual small photos, old books for kids. I fed a lot in dealing antiques and with old things my grandmother gave me.

Thank you!
Hooray for the Hickory Dickory Dock toy! I believe I had that wind-up clock, too.

Love it! We love to read, so of course this nursery appeals to us. Your little girl will be smart and happy as she grows up.

Thank you Lisa for your nice comment!
You had me at the Nelson Mandela doll!
But there is also the little girl rag doll, the rat with the tie, and the chicken driving the car (a reference to Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus maybe?), and I was gone.
The framed picture of Burt put it over the top!
Lovely room, and lovely toys!
