Greta's Funky Baby Nursery
My wife and I are both kind of artsy, so we knew that we wanted a fun, funky baby nursery design for our baby girl. When it came time to decorate the baby's room we chose items that have an original, handmade kind of look.
We also wanted really basic furniture that the baby could use for a while, and seeing as we live in an apartment, it needed to be small. So, we shopped around and found the super cool Baby Miro Modo line by DaVinci. It has kind of a modernist Japanese look that we really loved, and though it is available at several sites online, we purchased ours at Albeebaby.com. They offered free shipping and excellent customer service, so we were very happy!
The lamp is from Ikea and I think ran something like $40. The frames over the changing table in our funky baby nursery were purchased at Michael's using their weekly 40 and 50% off coupons. To save money, we bought one frame a week over a period of time. Cool, huh?
The artwork in the frames is from two local L.A. based artists. The first one is by Shag and is a print of Disneyland's Main Street from his Disneyland 50th Anniversary Collection. We actually bought it a few years back in preparation for the big day! The other two prints are by artist Brigette B. and can be purchased at her Etsy storefront at: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5239911
The baby's crib bedding set is from the Pottery Barn Kids Brooke collection as are the pillows, stuffed owls and guitar. The swan baby mobile is also from Pottery Barn Kids.
And finally the colorful flashcards hanging over the crib are by Paul Frank and I mounted them to the wall with tacky poster gum.
My wife and I wanted a funky baby nursery and I think we got it...hope you guys dig it!

I loved all your creative ideas. They are bright and cheery and I like that the theme is completely ageless. It's a fresh new look and I like the crib bed combo idea. I will definitely recommend it to my friends that are expecting.
