Nursery Theme Thursday: Mother Nature’s Son
It’s been awhile, Nursery Theme Thursday! I’ve been lacking a bit in the inspiration department, but something made me think of yet another Beatles song – Mother Nature’s Son. It isn’t one of their “hits” but it is a lovely acoustic Paul tune from the White Album that is all about being one with the…

Let me take you down, cause we’re going to…Strawberry Fields. Happy Nursery Theme Thursday! Yes, it was high time I floated another Beatles-inspired nursery (see also Quinlan’s Yellow Submarine Nursery). Though in this room you’ll find not even a trace of the Fab Four. This is a visual interpretation of what “Strawberry Fields Forever” might…
Read MoreNursery Theme Thursday 6: Scotland Yard
Today’s nursery theme is actually bit of a misnomer. I needed a clever way to say “all things Scottish” – but all I could think of was this: …and I didn’t want to call it “If it’s not Scottish, it’s crap!” So, this is not a theme about British law enforcement, or a (brilliant) Saturday…
Read MoreNursery Theme Thursday 5: Urban Jungle
Happy Thursday! I would like to introduce this week’s featured nursery theme – Urban Jungle (minus the pollution, noise, and general hub-bub, of course!)… I have to admit – this one was inspired by the adorable Skyline bedding collection from Dwell Studio. I have been looking for an opportunity to feature it. I love how…

Interiors for Families is my fledgling project embracing the way real people live – specifically, young families. I write regularly on a variety of topics related to interior design and decor. And I tend…
Read MoreNursery Theme Thursday 4: Coastal Prepster
Happy Nursery Theme Thursday! The Coastal Prepster nursery theme is all boy. It’s perfect for the future lacrosse-playing, New England private school attending, Nantucket Red pants-wearing baby in your life! Of course, none of these things need be true for this adorable concept to work in your nursery. This theme was 100% inspired by the…
Read MoreNursery Theme Thursday 3: Little Miss Sunshine
For this Nursery Theme Thursday, I had my mind set on doing a button-cute baby girl’s room – but I’m not, nor have I ever been, what you’d call a girly girl. So this week’s theme, Little Miss Sunshine, is my take on a decidedly feminine (and appropriately juvenile) nursery without the frills, ribbons and…
Read MoreDesign Thinking for the Real World – 4/14/12
Lately I’ve read on a couple of different design blogs that nursery themes are now considered passe. I have to admit I was surprised by this. I’ve written many posts on themes for baby rooms, including my own son’s Yellow Submarine nursery, and stand by them. We can agree to disagree. Today’s Design Thinking for…
Read MoreNursery Theme Thursday 2: Goodnight Moon
In the great green room, there was a telephone, and a red balloon, and a picture of…the cow jumping over the moon. And three little bears sitting on chairs. Yes, by now I could recite the entire book by heart. For those not yet indoctrinated, I’m quoting Goodnight Moon – the classic children’s story penned…
Read MoreNursery Theme Thursday 1: Transportation
Greetings, and happy Nursery Theme Thursday to you! Or whatever day it is when you happen upon this post. I’m very excited to debut the very first theme – TRANSPORTATION! Yes, we’re talking planes, trains and automobiles. And boats, horses, maps, street signs, and anything else related to moving from point A to point B.…
