had any babies before, I was a little overwhelmed about the whole \u2018process\u2019 of it all.\u00a0 I mean, a designers\u2019 goal is to design for the client.\u00a0 In this case my client was my unborn child.\u00a0 I know how to make a room look good, but I had no idea how the practicality of the day-to-day was going to be and what needed to be where to remove any further frustrations [read: fears] of managing a newborn.\u00a0 And now, living with said baby for almost four months here are a few tips I can share to make any new moms\u2019 nursery pro-function and pro-adorbs:<\/p>\n<p>\/\/\u00a0 Group each \u2018task\u2019 together.\u00a0 Such as Nursing\/feeding, diapering, sleeping, bathing, etc.\u00a0 This makes it easier for you and your partner to guess where things are and where they go especially in those first couple months\u2026 and especially in the dark!<\/p>\n<p>\/\/\u00a0 Pick out furniture pieces that accommodate <em>you<\/em> [the caregiver] like a tall dresser to reach inside without having to bend down; a glider\/rocking chair with a <em>stationery<\/em> ottoman to stay put while you\u2019re trying to rock baby to sleep; a small table next to your chair with a dim nightlight to see what you\u2019re trying to do\u00a0 at 2 am without waking the baby too much and also place to set your bubba-mug sized water jug, atomic clock, coconut oil [used for ev. e. ry. thinnnng.] your eos, hand sanitizer, and your what-ever else-nots.<\/p>\n<p>\/\/\u00a0 Because the crib is the \u2018main attraction\u2019 of the nursery \u2013 try and locate it where it\u2019s the first thing seen when walking into the room then arrange everything else around it [if you can\u2026 I couldn\u2019t].\u00a0 It\u2019s also a good idea to keep the crib on an interior wall to better regulate the temperature when baby\u2019s sleeping and away from any windows or items with blinds, pull cords, and\/or handing window treatments that baby can pull.\u00a0 Because let\u2019s face it &#8211; babies are unpredictable and terrifying; so let\u2019s try to keep the ef-ups to a minimum if we can help it, heh?<\/p>\n<p>\/\/\u00a0 Keep your dirty-diaper-can and laundry basket close to the changing table, at least within arms reach.\u00a0 The frustration is real.\u00a0 But then the piles of poopy diapers and pukey jammies are even realer.<\/p>\n<p>\/\/\u00a0 STORAGE STORAGE STORAGE.\u00a0 Holy mackerel babies have a lot of stuff!\u00a0 You\u2019d think they\u2019d only really need a place to sleep and a boob [or bottle].\u00a0 Um no.\u00a0 Not to mention all their things are so tiny!\u00a0 In an attempt to combat the inevitable baby-explosion where the sock-monster who mysteriously lives in the black hole of every house gobbles up \u00a0all your newborns favorite soothing things\u2026 and keep your life organized and clutter-free, try putting shoe boxes inside your dresser drawers to collect those finger-puppet-sized-socks and to organize your onesies and jammies by size.\u00a0 You can never have enough baskets, bins, cubbies, and compartments to keep track of all-things-baby!<\/p>\n<p>When it\u2019s all said and done it really depends on your style as to how to design your own nursery.\u00a0 I\u2019m not a fan of the cutsie-wootsie baby designs so I designed a room more mature.\u00a0 I took the closet doors off [one less thing to make noise, <em>and<\/em> I\u2019m the one using what\u2019s in there, so why keep an obstacle between me and what I need?] and arranged her room to how I would use it best.\u00a0 Take a look at how it turned out \u2013 I\u2019m happy to say she loves it!!\u00a0 [lol.\u00a0 She has no idea.]\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-3

After receiving my degree in Interior Design with an emphasis in Architectural Design, I have worked in Visual Merchandising, Residential Design and in Commercial Design for a national retailer; my heart is and always has been in any design position that allows me to provide my clients with the utmost stylized space for their taste and function. It has been my pledge for over 12 years to create new spaces by fulfilling the parameters set by the client while communicating openly and working together, to use the most current techniques and strategies to propose innovative designs, and to develop and install new environments with creativity, knowledge and excellence. Nothing makes me happier than to see a client swoon over their re-decorated, remodeled, or renovated area.","sameAs":["https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/"],"url":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/users\/melanie.html"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5084"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6921,"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5084\/revisions\/6921"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/curedesigngroup.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
