Olive's nursery started off as pretty, but slowly all the pretty got stripped out and it became functional.
Eventually though she moved into Charlie's room and I think it's a decent mix of pretty and functional. It will have to do, until we can find a recliner that is both pretty and functional!!
Is your nursery pretty or functional?

Our nursery is completely functional and not pretty at all. I'm not a decorator at all, and we moved during both pregnancies, so I just never got around to doing anything with the nurseries. I wish I had, but just wasn't top priority. Now that DD's has her own room now though, it is decorated with girly stuff.

Well we aren't even setting up a nursery in this house because we won't be here long, so the nursery is our bedroom! When we settle down in Kosovo though, I'll be putting together a pretty and functional toddler room with a floor bed.

it WAS functional - then we ended up bedsharing, and then we moved. We've been in this place almost a month & his clothes are in a laundry basket & his crib is still in pieces. So I'd say it's non existent LOL.

Both. I incorporated a lot of bright, fun colors but his room is full of his toys and books and other needs. I'm happy with how it looks.

It's semi-functional. The nursery is something we'll be working on over time, as we get used to baby/co-sleeping/BFing/a new routine. We didn't even get a crib until last week!
And I can't say I've been aiming for "pretty" so much as "fun/child-friendly." I want a room that will be toddler appropriate, DH wants a room that will stimulate baby's brain. He's demanding more cartoon animals and bright colors, haha!

It's very pretty, because we ended up co-sleeping, so nothing ever happens in there.

It was pretty and functional, but then we moved and didn't bother trying to repaint the room and make it all pretty again - so now it's just bare bones and functional. Baby #2 won't even have a room for awhile and staying in ours, so his is going to be nonexistent.

Both! There are a few things that aren't *exactly* as I would have wanted in the name of function, but I think it still looks pretty darn good.

I've never been good at pretty and fluffy, but it came together nicely and looks good, but is mainly functional. The nursery is combined with our office, and it does both jobs pretty well. It isn't your typical nursery, so most probably wouldn't like it but it suits us well and I am happy when I am in there.
