Maybe I’m naive but I refuse to believe that having a baby means you must turn into every obnoxiously colored, ridiculously oversized, overly plasticized cliche Fisher Price ever concocted. I’ve seen the toys, and I fear their gradual usurping of my living space, to the point where one day I’ll throw up my hands, hop in the minivan, drive on over to Chuck-E-Cheese and steal the big plastic balls so that I can finally give up and unceremoniously dump them across my floors. (Wo)man cannot live on primary colors alone.
Here and there, people have been asking me what I want to do for The Nursery. First, I’d like to live in a place that has more than one bedroom, so that I can designate one of those rooms The Nursery. Beyond that, my only requirements are to avoid borders, licensed cartoon characters as wall decor and curtains that match the bedding that match the changing table that match the mobile (see: nursery in a bag). Oh, and a comfortable chair (I can’t yet say ‘rocker’) would be grand.
Needless to say, I was delighted to stumble upon this collection of kids’ decorating ideas. No cliches were harmed in the making.

While I agree with most of what you have written, I do have one question. ARE YOU NUTS? No shot I would ever pay $645 for a rocking horse. Thanks but no thanks. I’ll build my own “cardboard fort”.
