Sherry and John Petersik's Pretty-in-Pink Room for Baby Clara

No need to be fussy.
Forget about hanging art in neat rows -- just buy frames in the same color for consistency.

Dress an ugly duckling.
When the Petersiks bought this mirror at Marshall's, it was black. Painting it green (using a tiny brush to negotiate those curves!) made it sing.

Move it!
A side table from Target used to live in their guest bedroom, but it works perfectly next to Clara's feeding spot.

Dig around.
The Petersiks found this capiz-shell chandelier for $50 at a lighting outlet.
