[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing about that Megan example:

- The rest of the photo is EXTREMELY clean/plain. Even the 3 books (which are adult book size, not kid book size) have plain white covers on them with no text. Only one book end. A single flower.

- The paint job is immaculate. There is wainscoting on the bottom, in white (which - most people wouldn't do that it a kid's room because it will get dirty easily as the kid gets older)

- White curtains

- Nothing "busy" outside the windows

All of the "professional" photos of the names on the walls that have been posted look cute. But when you get into reality with stacks of diapers on a dresser, probably some sort of patterned bedding, full wall color (people would do well to pick more neutral tones for the wall and bring color in through decorations, but I digress), non-white curtains, looking out into a subdivision with cars parked on the street and other houses and toys in the yard, other wall hangings - it just starts to look busy and cluttery.

I'm not going to judge people who put baby names up in nurseries. I see the appeal. But people just need to be realistic about what you see in those stock photos you post (the Nathan one has a decorative pillow in the crib!!! really!!!) versus how it is going to look in real life. [/quote]
