Les Petites Room

How are our girls almost 2?! My babies have become toddlers before my very eyes!

We moved into our home when the twins were 12 days old so our nursery was very sweet but pretty minimal. A fresh coat of white paint, cribs, glider and the changing table was pretty much all we needed to survive the early days of twin parenthood. Now that the girls are pushing two we wanted to re-arrange the room to take better advantage of the space and to create more room for play, drawing and reading. We wanted to incorporate a bit of color but keep it soothing and soft. I was inspired by a few shades of terracotta from their crib sheets and some of their existing decor. This shade is Soft Cranberry by Benjamin Moore in satin, we customized the mix at 70% saturation and used their Natura line which is VOC free.

Otherwise we kept the room pretty tonal with lots of white, light woods, woven rattan, layered sheepskins, and just a touch of brass. My mom made the girls these quilts and they are so precious and will be so special for them to have their whole lives. We have loved these cribs and they will eventually convert into toddler beds. This sweet table has a chalkboard top and a hidden storage compartment for chalk and crayons. I made a simple paper roll with a dowel (repurposed from an old baby gate), some scrap leather that I painted to match the wall and a couple of screw in wall hooks.
