Seriously, who cares what other people think?
When it comes to professionally designed nurseries, my main beef is that they are often too, well, designed. Some even look like an adult lives there. A nursery, to me, should work like a good educational toy – it is sturdy, developmentally appropriate, maybe colorful, and above all FUN for your baby to be in.
If you like it, do it. If something looks beautiful to you, go for it. Think about what your little one would love and put that in her nursery. Your whole family will be spending a lot of time in there – make it enjoyable, durable, comfortable, and as they would say in the marketing world, customer-centric…and you know who the customer is in this case.
