Feathering the Nest: Tracy Hutson's Earth-Friendly Guide to Decorating Your Baby's Room

by Tracy Hutson, Laurie Frankel (Photographer), L.G. Mansfield

Tracy Hutson is an acclaimed interior designer. She’s also the loving mother of two little boys. When designing their bedroom, she knew precisely what she wanted: a nursery that would be mentally stimulating yet emotionally comforting. A place that would maximize safety, shielding adventurous toddlers from harm. And a room that would be built and decorated with a healthy dose of environmental responsibility.
 
In Feathering the Nest, Hutson shares her passion for creating children’s spaces—putting her guiding principles into practice for four different styles of nursery design: vintage, contemporary, traditional, and international. Featuring stories and photos of actual children’s rooms from around the country, the book focuses on the essential components of nursery design, including the special touches that make a room your child’s very own. The warmth and creativity of Hutson’s approach will inspire every parent to create the ideal nest for their child.

This is a beautiful book, full of good ideas and good advice, mainly about decorating, but also with some good tidbits about parenting, safety, and eco-friendliness mixed in. There's also a helpful resource list in the back with some good websites to explore.
