I love it, DH is a pilot and wants an airplane nursery, which I think I can make super cute and the light will transition well into different stages.<br /> Good luck with the big boy room! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2126113 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 19:37:00 +0000 SeptMomma12 2126113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WinterBee: That light is amazing! I need to keep that in mind when we change DS's room to a "big boy" room. He's already said he wants transportation stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2126111 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 19:36:16 +0000 SeptMomma12 2126111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies!

I got the dresser, end table, and changing table on craigslist and painted them all with no-voc gloss enamel. The legs of the table I painted gold with martha stewart craft paint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2086162 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 08:00:45 +0000 Anagram 2086162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have a "brushed nickel", slightly modern looking fan with a light.</p> <p>Then we have an Ikea grey bedside table lamp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2086020 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 22:57:10 +0000 Astro Bee 2086020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Thanks for the recommendation. It's simple enough for DH to do. Regarding your accent table, did you dip that yourself, or did you buy it already done? It looks like the paint matches your dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2086003 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 22:40:28 +0000 Mae 2086003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Astro Bee: we put the overhead light on a dimmer switch (about $20 at lowes) so we can have things very dim in there with just one light. I highly recommend it for motn changings so you don't fumble in the dark or wake baby up too much with bright light. And thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2085987 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 22:24:57 +0000 Astro Bee 2085987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it necessary to have lighting near the glider (i.e., on the table by the chair)? We currently only have overhead lighting. It's only a cheap flush mount, but I want to replace it with something else. Hopefully, I'll find inspiration here! But I was also wondering if I need to buy a table side lamp. I have a shade already, but no base. </p> <p>@Mae: I notice that you don't have one in your photo. I'm in serious nursery envy here... your nursery is gorgeous. Not sure which part I love the most!</p> <p>@Rhododendron: I've asked DH to install a dimmer switch for the overhead lighting already. Would that negate the need for a separate table lamp? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2085947 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 21:54:34 +0000 rhododendron 2085947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our electrician actually installed this ceiling fan the same day my daughter was born, while we were at the hospital! We have it hooked up to a dimmer switch, which has turned out to be amazingly useful in the middle of the night when she wakes up crying. I think I looked at every single ceiling fan on Amazon before I picked this one, since I didn't want one that looked ugly and outdated, and needed the fan blades to be very close to the ceiling, since our ceilings are only 7.5' high.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QSLKDW/" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QSLKDW/</a></p> <p>[attach=4825/15/nkcyqy.600x250.41WZpboKiQL._SL1000_.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2083194 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:38:52 +0000 Mae 2083194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: thanks :) I love her nursery too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2083189 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:37:04 +0000 SeptMomma12 2083189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I love that nursery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-nursery-lighting#post-2083176 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:28:06 +0000 blackbird 2083176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Indoor-3-light-Chrome-Crystal-Chandelier/5244436/product.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Indoor-3-light-Chrome-Crystal-Chandelier/5244436/product.html</a></p> <p>We have this one!
