A few weeks ago, I had this recurring dream that one of our friend was kidnapping our baby. He would come to our home, take the baby, leave quietly and I would wake up in panic. This was very strange because 1) he is a nice guy 2) he is very supportive 3) he has a good sense of humor and ... 4) he thinks that kids are most of the time annoying!I don't know anything about dream interpetation but one day I asked him, half joking, to stop kidnaping my baby! He looked at me and said "Oh, don't freak out, babies are too much trouble, I would bring it back after 15 minutes"!!!
However, he knew why I had those dreams. He said it's because your nursery is not done yet and I can't let you have a baby in those conditions!!!
At that time (early second trimester), I just told him that he was silly. However, he made me realize that I do have a difficult time getting inspiration for the nursery. Everything is so "little kit", crowded with stuff...maybe over designed would be a good way of explaining it.
Today, I saw this picture on flickr from a decoration ideas book for modern living circa 70's. This is, my friends, my dream nursery! It might not be for everybody (maybe too boring for some people) but I totally see my little family in a room like that.
Finally, no more nightmares!

ok, so that shelf is totally dreamy. I want that little wooden elephant on top!
Ikea sells individual shelves with a similar bracket, that you could stack to get that look.
I wouldn't say that it was boring - although our nursery was just a plain cot (from Ikea, too), a couple of wall shelves and a toy box, so it was pretty simple too.

The bed is similar to an IKEA style too. The Chair looks like it is the classic Bertoia Diamond chair that retails for like $1000. They do a pretty good knock-off for 191$ at Target or 178$ at Overstock. Bertoias are comfortable but e warned that knock-off seldom are.

There should be a book: "Pregnancy Dreams."
