PEEKING IN
Elkė's shared nursery guest room

Below is our own Elkė's nursery. It is also the guest room. Overnight guests are pretty rare but in this 1939 Tudor there are only 3 bedrooms so the baby gets the biggest one but has to share with a queen size bed. Not pictured is a 4ft long dresser that extends out from the end of the bed which is where diapers are changed and clothing is stored. It all works out nicely and the big bed is great for when mommy needs to crash with a teething baby for the night. When guests come to stay we simply put the baby in the portable crib in our room. We could have had Elkė and Ruby share a room, true, but Ruby already had a perfect pink room of her own and so in April 07 when we found out that we were definitely having another girl I got started on decorating and picking things out to make the perfect room for the baby (and the occasional in-law stay). Not too babyish, not to grown up- and she smiles every time she is in there.
