a child grows with it

One of the more popular child's rooms to make the rounds on blogs belongs to the son of Jenna Lyons, the creative director at J.Crew .

Our first sneak peak at it was in the late Domino magazine...

Later Living etc featured it as well...

and most recently with Jenna's home being up for sale, we got another view of how the room has grown with her son...

I think one of the reasons it has evolved so well is because bright colors blended with neutrals were chosen initially, what with the stripes on the ceiling against the black wall. And when you add in the colorful toys or a few brighter items, like the chair, toy bins, bedding (first and third photos), it makes it easier to grow with a child.

I feel people get too theme-y with their baby's room and they forget that in a few short years that child will be an active toddler and then a preschooler, but Jenna did it right. Great job!
