Living in New York City for ten years has made me a savvy space saver. So when it came time for baby number two (due any day now) I had to get creative with our space. I transformed two closets into a comfy, cozy room for my little angel on the way. I have a crib in my room but put a Playard with a Napper in this space so she has her own private space to rest, plus it works great as a quiet nursing room. I’ll move the crib in later. Here’s the Recipe for how I did it…

I knocked down a wall between two closets, painted the walls a very light pink, put up a fun birch tree wall decal and a crystal light fixture. I also put in a custom storage unit with plenty of fun fabric covered boxes. Also I framed some pretty fabrics in inexpensive IKEA frames. My sister made a beautiful quilt. The color palette is varied and fun.
