With the completion of the Burke propeller base Tulip chair two days ago, I have now, finally, completed Carroll’s nursery – and not a day too soon. Literally. He turns one tomorrow. Months ago I told myself I would get his room completed and shared on my blog before he turns one. Good thing it was a sunny morning for photos.
My wife and I worked really hard in designing this room and it has held up quite nice as our newborn has turned into a toddler, very soon to be a walker. We took great care into designing every single detail with thought and pride. We knew we didn’t want this room to look like other nurseries, and we despise the look of what’s available at the big box baby stores. The solution: build it ourselves. Of the seven pieces of furniture in his room, five of them were built, rebuilt, or repurposed almost from scratch by me, with upholstery assistance from my mother. The remaining items were sourced out and the accent pieces hand made or picked by fellow artists and siblings.
