Our plan had always been for her to sleep on a floor bed, so we started putting her down to nap on it pretty early (firm mattress, no blankets etc). It was great for nursing her to sleep or just napping with her, which we often do. When she started rolling the mattress went straight to the floor, and she now sleeps on it full time. </p> <p>When we did that, we finished a basement room to be a guest room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-356173 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 12:30:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 356173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlecasita1122: Your nursery/guest room is so nice and big! I'm so jealous now.<br /> We are in a 1 bed now but will probably move to a 2 when we have a baby and we'd like to keep our queen in the nursery, but I don't have high hopes that our second bedroom will be big enough unless we move way out of the city, which we don't want to do.<br /> @artbee: I am envisioning the guest portion of it being for before LO is actually sleeping in there (like, when my mom comes to visit after future baby is born). Or, having LO sleep in our room while we have guests later on. Not a guest and LO in the same room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-356097 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 12:12:11 +0000 mrsjyw 356097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlecasita1122: what a beautiful room/nursery! so big and spacious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-339327 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 06:35:46 +0000 heffalump 339327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of these pictures look awesome! I wish we could do something like that, it would be nice to have that as a guestroom too. But LO is such a light sleeper,it would never work for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-339323 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 06:22:52 +0000 hellobeeboston 339323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will take a pic of ours later -- we are also in a 2 bed townhouse... We had had a queen bed in the second room but got rid of it, got a twin (that I may add a trundle to at some point) and got everything else in nicely I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-339226 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 22:21:30 +0000 QBbride 339226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit - thanks!

DH works late and is such a light sleeper, I imagine I'll be sleeping in the nursery a lot. We'll probably do a set up like @luckypenny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-339146 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 20:17:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 339146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlecasita1122: I was just about to go searching for those exact pictures!! I had no idea they were yours!! IT's SO cute.

Our two bedrooms are very long rectangles and the doorways are in the middle of the wall so we set up the nursery on one side and then moved our guest bed, nightstand tables and dresser to the opposite side. Here are a couple pics showing the two sides (it's impossible to take one picture of the whole room at once): </p> [attach=2323/12/mbt4tx.600x400.NurserySide.JPG] [attach=2323/12/mbt4tz.600x428.GuestBedroomSide2.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-339087 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 19:24:19 +0000 birdofafeather 339087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would search Pinterest, ontobaby.com, or apartment therapy. They have tons of ideas and lots of different inspiration!

That's what I would like to do, but our room is a bit awkwardly shaped. I have a friend who is really good at decorating, so I'll have to ask her once I tell everyone! (not for awhile still!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-338918 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:45:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 338918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister does :) it's the guest room slash nursery. And often she and her son sleep in there together as her husband has to get up early for work and is bothered by her son's night wakings. </p> <p>They have a full bed pushed up against one wall, the dresser/changing pad/mirror in the opposite wall and the crib between them. It actually looks super cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-338910 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:36:14 +0000 autumnlove 338910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want one in our next nursery because nursing in the side lying position worked the best for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-338904 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:31:45 +0000 Weagle 338904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a twin sized be in the nursery, but we haven't used it for sleeping.

We have a pretty large second room though so I have no problems seeing it working in my mind. Definitely doable though in many other situations because I've seen a fair number of nursery reveals who have pulled it off nicely. I am actually really excited to have a bed there close by for those nights I just want to collapse nearby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-338820 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:25:58 +0000 T-Mom 338820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a twin mattress on the floor for a while. It wasn't pretty but it was definitely helpful for the early months. Also, I have a friend whose nursery had an ikea futon type thing that opened into a twin size bed, and that was really nice space-saving solution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-338781 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:01:09 +0000 QBbride 338781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ohh thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-338774 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:59:21 +0000 DillonLion 338774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A blog I read did this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.babykerf.com/nursery-tour/" rel="nofollow">http://www.babykerf.com/nursery-tour/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-planning-on-keeping-a-bed-in-the-nursery-photos#post-338770 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:57:47 +0000 QBbride 338770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies,<br /> Well we only have a 2-bedroom townhouse and I'd like to be able to keep the extra bed (double bed) in the nursery for guests and for me to sleep in if we're having a rough night. I'm having a hard time visualizing this, has anyone done this and have photos?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
