Do you try and tie your kid’s rooms into the rest of your house?

7 Ways to Make an Eclectic Nursery http://tipsysociety.com/2009/10/7-ways-to-make-an-eclectic-nursery/ http://tipsysociety.com/2009/10/7-ways-to-make-an-eclectic-nursery/#comments Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:00:58 +0000 http://tipsysociety.com/?p=333 When I found out I was having a boy, I knew what I didn’t want in a nursery. I didn’t want pastels, I didn’t want typical.  What I did want was his nursery to look like it belonged to the rest of our house which is colorful and eclectic.

ak-jacks-room

I had seen, at a local antique show, a slew of owls painted on some weathered fence boards and immediately wanted it for my son’s nursery however it was a GAZILLION dollars, so I set out to make it and therein came the theme for my son’s room: owls.  I read somewhere after I picked that theme that owls bring good luck, wisdom, and watchful protection to your home–LOVED IT!

My hunt for owls then returned the Flights of Fancy Mobile, which just embodied the colorfulness that I wanted.  From there I wanted unique animals and found the Dodo Bird print, Pongo (who I loved so much I framed him) and Magnus.
