Anyway, we touch on it in the video, but I really don't feel like you have to go overboard with your baby's nursery. Generally, I feel like less is more, and I think that translates to interior decorating, too. As I mention in the video, I put my old dresser in the baby's room, and it's worked out really well. I painted it over and we have changing pad on top, with room for diaper caddy and a few other misc. items.
I love the idea of putting a few sentimental items in the room as well. In our first nursery, I had my silver baby cup sitting on a bookshelf alongside a pair of Husband's baby shoes that his mother had dipped in copper. Pretty neat. The walls were painted a light yellow (we kept the first little gal's sex a surprise), but with an added bonus: my dear friend from childhood, a very talented artist and mama to three little gals, flew up to NYC and painted a gorgeous mural on the wall of a tree and a few birds. Perfectly lovely, and it made a tiny room (and former "office/junk storage/man cave") a really special place to be.
Well, that and the cute little baby living there. :)

Another cute interview! You forgot to mention the added challenges you had creating a nursery in such a small NY apartment space!
I agree. Sometimes it is best to keep things simple and add a few sentimental things. Being creative is key to keeping the cost down.

I absolutely love the tree mural. What a great idea!
