Cate – I chose the leather version for practicality. Sometimes breastfeeding can be a little messy – especially in the beginning, so I wanted something that could easily be cleaned. On the other hand, a cotton cover would probably feel cozier. You could always buy an extra cushion & cover separately at IKEA since they both use the same wooden base.

Why did you chose the leather poang chair over the cotton? Was it an aesthetic choice or have you heard that it is more durable? I was looking at the same option for a nursery and trying to determine the best upholstery choice.

Thanks!

UMMA –
I took a screen shot (PRINT SCREEN key) of the color from Benjamin Moore’s website, pasted it into Photoshop to get the RGB values of my color, and then used the RGB values and created a swatch out of it in Sketchup.

Greetings!

I was just curious as to how you got the Benjamin Moore colors into SketchUp. We’re going to be using SketchUp for some visualization work here at the University of Michigan Museum of Art – and are just getting started with it.

Any tips/hints would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

I love the colour scheme but I agree it won’t be long before baby is pulling those pictures right off the wall and from my experience our baby likes to look at blocks of colour and stripes over most pictures.

I really like the first photo and wall color. I thought all the pictures on the walls were neat. lol You could screw through the pictures frames with black drywall screws or something like that. (If they are inexpensive frames anyways.) That way you could hang alot of art and NOT have to worry about your baby grabbing them. I see that done in restaurants all the time,…probably because they don’t want kids ripping them off the walls.

Those nursery photos are adorable, jgsearls! I really love the stripes and your color scheme.

I’m inclined to go with an unusually bright color since the room is truly very dark, even when there’s bright sunlight outside.

Thanks for the comment about the frames – the arrangement in my Sketchup pictures isn’t really what I’m going to end up with. I think I’ll leave the crib in the center of the room and use the wall for furniture. But it’s good to be warned of these things – as a soon-to-be first time mom, I have so much to learn! :O

For what it’s worth and to piggyback on Lori’s comment, I painted my daughter’s nursery in our last home using all four colors on the Benjamin Moore Wales Green paint chip.

And I hate to sound like a noodgy old mother but I’d be concerned with the artwork over the crib just because the baby will be standing and pulling it off before you know it. OK. Done with the mini-lecture.
