I finally hung the curtains in Freddie Spaghetti's room, so I took pictures this morning. This is our no theme nursery. It's a budget room, we re-finished the steel hospital dresser my brother had growing up, bought IKEA everything else. Plus art I've collected over time, a couple of quilts from my mum and a modern cuckoo clock a colleague of my H sent us from Germany (it's one of my favourite features).

I love it. I don't know which part I love the most. There's so much color and pattern everywhere and it all works! You don't know where to look next because it's all so fun.
(And now I'm sad because I'm remembering my grandmother's cuckoo clock and wondering where it went off to. My sister cleaned house without asking what I wanted. I miss that clock. I assume yours won't cuckoo on the hour and half-hour and wake up Mr.Spaghetti though.)

We haven't put a battery in it yet for that reason, it is sully functional though. When we visited Germany we couldn't decide which style to get, it was overwhelming but we really wanted something modern and just couldn't find the right one. This one is so perfect for us. My grandpa had a nice one from his family there but I don't know where it ended up. These things fall out of fashion and someone just chucks them.
I didn't have a plan but just used all my favourite colours. It's pretty much a continuation of the rest of our home.
