Our spare room (I should probably say store room/junk room/ anything we can't find a place for in our apartment room) has been transformed into our little babes' nursery (with the help of fairy aunts and a fairy grandmother). It feels magical to me and I find myself sitting in there picturing it filled with two little souls, little sounds, little heart beats, cries, and smells, tiny bodies, and a whole lot of love.
We didn't "decorate" the room as such. We don't know if the twins are boys or girls or both and I didn't want any particular theme. I just used things and pictures we already had, and mixed them together with things we were given. I like that it is peaceful, calm and uncluttered (let's see how long it stays that way!)
Cots and changing table from Ikea; ceramic containers from The Selection
Thick blankets over cots from Woolworths
A collection of alphabets I've found over the years
Embroidered goodnight prayer from my mom and a golden elephant from Cheska's wedding
The deer head was a birthday gift to Jan-Jan from Paris, and I bought the Manhattan print ages ago when I was still living in NY
An old chair from my gran, reupholstered in fabric from The Design Team; I bought the spotty blanket when I was in London last year; and my mom bought me the bunny cushion from a little interior store in Craighall
A springbokkie paper mobile I bought at Kamers last year
Repainted shelves filled with gift for the twins
Chalkboard labels in the cupboard from The Selection
