I was thinking maybe a chalk board but she is way too young to use it now and homegirl loves her some mirror- gazing lol</p> <p>Thanks all for the compliments! The nursery was a serious DIY effort so I'm really glad it turned out well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1828304 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 11:35:41 +0000 mrskc 1828304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Oh I like that! I like the little play space next to the crib. I think a mirror down low would be perfect right there for her to look at herself during tummy time. I used to use a cheap over the door mirror and turn it on it's side and lean it against the wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1828298 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 11:34:55 +0000 theotherstark 1828298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Yay, it looks amazing!! :) Such a perfect little reading nook.

Just wanted to say that the room already looks darling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1826117 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 16:02:08 +0000 Mae 1826117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: yea I think I need to rearrange the stuff on the wall!</p> <p>@theotherstark: thanks! She has only been in her crib a few times but she is so cute in there! Seems so big for such a little baby!

My mom is getting her a mini chair for Xmas so I think that will do until then even though it's a little big ? Or should I just leave the floor empty until I get the chair? </p> <p>And the striped wall with her toy bucket and quilt to define the play space. If I decide to go this route I'll maybe get a cute small rug for that area instead of the quilt. And maybe change up the wall art a little. </p> [attach=4140/14/namg2h.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=4140/14/namg2j.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825953 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:16:57 +0000 theotherstark 1825953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Re: the crib wall, I think you could just put a basket of toys or something down there as @mrs.shinerbock: suggested. That will look fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825948 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:13:34 +0000 Adira 1825948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Agree about the kitty-corner - it doesn't look good like that now that I can see it! I think your best bet is to leave it against the wall it was originally designed for and put something in the corner. I like the idea of a pouf or an anywhere chair or something similar.</p> <p>As for the crib wall - I'd probably center the crib or get a new changing table! You might actually want a changing table in there (or something, maybe just put a changing pad on top of the dresser) because it's convenient to do the diaper changes before bed and first thing in the morning right in the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825946 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:12:56 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1825946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The change in artwork kind of defines a separate space that could be used for a play area, so I'd put a cute basket with toys there and call it good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825931 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:07:57 +0000 Mae 1825931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also as a follow-up... if I leave the book case over there, the striped wall currently looks like this, due to the poached changing table. Not sure if we should gt another changing table for downstairs so we can move the spindle-y one back up to the nursery? Or if I should get something else for there? Or if we should just scoot the crib to the middle and redo the wall art so it doesn't look like something is missing? </p> <p>I don't think we really NEED a changing table up there... but I'm sure we'd use it if we had it. </p> [attach=4140/14/namd5x.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825930 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:07:22 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1825930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adorable nursery! I would leave it where it is and lean the heart art against the wall on top of it. I would get a pouf or anywhere -type chair for the corner and make it a reading nook like @theotherstark: suggested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825923 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:03:21 +0000 Mae 1825923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: haha i know it is huge! My FIL asked what size I wanted and I was like "Meh whatever. I want to put it on that wall so you can measure it and use your judgment." And apparently his judgment was to fill the whole wall! lol. But it is really pretty. </p> <p>@theotherstark: thanks :) and I did want that to be a reading nook! the heart art thing is actually little flowers I stamped out of the pages of a harry potter book! I planned to put the basket in the corner for now and a poof when she's old enough to sit on it. It's just a little messy in there right now. Cleaned up that corner a bit. </p> <p>@loki: thanks :) </p> <p>Okay so here are a few options... moving the art to the top of the book case (I could hang it, I was just being quick) and either leaving the tiny wall blank or putting something small there (not necessary that-- just poached something off of the other wall for size). Or taking @adira: 's suggestion of the kitty-corner thing. (Not a fan of that I don't think.. sorry. But you can see for yourself!) </p> [attach=4140/14/namcxn.450x600.photo-2.JPG] [attach=4140/14/namcxp.450x600.photo-3.JPG] [attach=4140/14/namcxr.450x600.photo-1.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825884 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:45:38 +0000 loki 1825884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no ideas but just gotta say, your nursery is adorable!!!! saving these as inspo :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825803 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:18:18 +0000 ElbieKay 1825803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just leave it where it is in the last photo. You can move the art more easily. Maybe you can hang the art over the bookcase? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825699 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:53:26 +0000 theotherstark 1825699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: So pretty! I love your nursery :)</p> <p>I think you could leave it there, and maybe just hang the heart art up a little higher, so it isn't covered by the top? You could possibly stick the bigger storage basket in the space between the bookshelf and the heart wall (sorry, no other name for it. Ha), or a little pouf or something to sit on. It could be a little reading nook! When I was young, I loved having little enclosed spaces to read in that were just mine :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825695 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:52:49 +0000 Adira 1825695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: haha, yeah, I'm not sure how it will work or look, but I'm curious!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825690 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:51:10 +0000 Mae 1825690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: lol I strike fast when I get motivated to do something bc lord knows the motivation won't last! Pumping now but when I'm done I'll run up and try your way :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825685 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:49:18 +0000 Adira 1825685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I love that you dragged it out and can move it around for us, haha. I'm going back to my thought of having it angled in that corner, so it's partly on the short heart wall and partly on the wall you currently have it. The way it is currently leaves the heart wall kind of useless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825679 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:47:33 +0000 cheert16 1825679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: woah it's way bigger than I thought!! But beautiful! </p> <p>Maybe lean the heart canvas on top on it- so it breaks up the dark and you can put something smaller in the narrow wall by it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825673 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:44:57 +0000 Mae 1825673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It won't fit on the wall with the heart canvas. I dragged it in and out it on the angled wall to see what you guys think. I feel like it's too big/ heavy for that little corner. But maybe that's still better than on the striped wall? </p> [attach=4140/14/nam9ay.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825573 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:01:47 +0000 LaughLines 1825573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what about putting the book case on the heart art wall and the heart art on the angled wall? You could even put some of the baskets and things to the left of the heart art under it by the angled wall - or on a expedit type short shelf under the heart art </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825546 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:51:57 +0000 Adira 1825546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would either put it on that slanted wall like you originally thought OR have it angled and be half on the original slanted wall and the wall with the heart and then move the heart wall elsewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-with-our-nursery#post-1825535 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:48:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1825535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would put it where you originally planned or the room will look unbalanced. Is there somewhere else you can hang the painting? </p>
