Today’s inspiration room is a combination playroom and guest room designed by Diane at The Perfectly Imperfect Life. I’ve always loved the look of daybeds. And in a playroom or guest room, where the sleeping area does double duty, they make even more sense. The little perch shown here would make a perfect sunny spot…
In case you’ve missed it, pink and brown seem to be the “new black” when it comes to decorating baby girl nurseries. I see it popping up everywhere. Today’s inspiration nursery is a nice illustration of how to do it really well. Late at night, when I should be sleeping, I sometimes hop around on…

If you’re interested in going francophone with your nursery, here are some theme ideas to get the creative juices flowing: Le…
