Family of Four in 640 Square Feet
One of the entries in Apartment Therapy's Small Cool contest is a "two bedroom" New York City studio apartment where a family of four has deftly figured out how to live. Granted the two bedrooms is actually the kid's loft where their pre-schooler and baby sleep and a cozy cubby where mom and dad sleep on a queen-size bed with storage and tv in the walls. To pull it all off, they studied lots of books on boat design and got advice from friends who live part-time in boats and RV's. See the slideshow here.

Everything Orange for Your Kid's Room
When we started Coochicoos, one of our driving mottos was "anything but pink or blue", and apparently the bloggers at Remodlista believe so too with a great selection of furniture and accessories for kids' rooms all in orange.

A Science Lab for a Nursery
Engineers Paul and Pam Costa took three well-planned steps in welcoming their new baby boy into their lives. First, they named their son Edison - an uncommon historically-linked creative name that was also easy to remember. Second, to match the name Edison, they designed a nursery with a science theme complete with a bare vintage-style light bulb, chalk scribbled science formulas, and back-lit laboratory beakers. For their finishing touch, Paul had found an original Cray-1 computer on eBay after years of searching, and turned into a seating area in one corner of the nursery.
From inventor name, to themed design, to supercomputer furniture, Edison has one cool nursery.Resources: Crib and changer by Nurseryworks

Nursery Design Inspiration: Celebrity Nurseries by Wendy Bellissimo
While Coochicoos is a fan of modern nurseries, we will still applaud nursery designs that are well done. For more traditional nurseries with a contemporary aesthetic, it's worth checking out Wendy Bellissimo's work. While you might be familiar with her nursery decor product line at BabiesRUs, see how she puts it all together in her celebrity portfolio.
And whether you're a dedicated modernist or not, you have to love her philosophy on creating a child's room - "the ultimate room for a child is to attain the goal of a calming yet inspiring environment.”
Image above is Wendy's design for Brooke Shields' first nursery. Alex Kingston's baby nursery is below.
Wall mural as art carries over to Teri Polo's nursery below.
And finally, a nursery for twins for Lisa Anne Walters.
Visit Celebrity Nursery Gallery at Wendy Bellissimo for more nursery images.
