Storybook Nursery

Before

To accommodate their baby girl on the way, the homeowners transformed a second bedroom into a colorful Winnie the Pooh-themed nursery. Their design consultant, Betty Estremera of Fiddlehead Designs, worked with the couple to add creative-yet-budget-conscious details, such as pendant lights (converted from recessed lights with a $10 converter kit), crystal drawer pulls, hand-painted walls and a blackout shade trimmed with a decorative scalloped edge (that she created with a coffee mug). To create the Pooh characters on the walls, Estremera used an overhead projector to project coloring book pages onto the walls and then colored them in with paint. Since vibrant colors of pinks and greens were used throughout the space, the couple kept the rocking chair a neutral khaki color.
