Is Yellow in Your Nursery Plans?
A few days ago, I came across a color study of using the color yellow in your home on Remodelista, then today I got an email from CB2 featuring furniture and accessories emphasizing yellow. Seems like yellow is the flavor of the season.

Nursery Design: Calm and Peaceful with DeNai Jones
If you believe a baby nursery should embody a peaceful environment, then you'll be inspired by DeNai Jones' nursery for her second son [slideshow at Flickr]. Jones, designer at Petunia Pickle Bottom, looked to nature elements and earth tones to create this unique nursery. DeNai explains -
My intention when designing my son's nursery was to create a tranquil, organic, and textural experience. Ultimately, the nursery is the most calming place in our home…so I believe I achieved what I set out to accomplish. Now with a two year old toddler and a newborn reeking havoc in our home, it's the place I like to kick up my heels and find tranquility.
See how DeNai's nursery started from her Woodland Nursery mood board entry at Decor8.

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.

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
