Ingrid's Nook

This post originally ran on the Sycamore blog.

Ingrid sleeps in a little nook in our room. As you can see, her crib is only a couple of steps away from our bed. This poses an interesting dilemma while decorating the room (and at other times, I'll admit!) I want her space to blend well with ours, but also be distinctive.

We decided to stick with the same color scheme, but bump it up a bit. We painted the walls in the nook robin's egg blue, and added pops of warm, faded pink and orange. (Our side of the room is mainly warm white with soft shades of blue, green, and brown.) My grandparents gave me the hand loomed Polish wall hanging. My grandmother made the quilt, Kirk's mom made the crib sheet, and Ingrid's friend Blythe gave her the mobile. At night or during naps we simply pull the striped blackout curtain across the nook.

We like our set up for now. Eventually, I'd like Ingrid to have a room of her own. But that will require adding on.... yikes.
