- Welcome to our favorite room in the house! It took months to complete but we love this calming, peaceful space. It has everything we could ever dream of! Something OLD like the ancient 14-foot fireplace and reclaimed shelves. Something NEW like the handmade cot (crib) and mobile. Something BORROWED like our mum’s beloved teddy bear. And something BLUE like the adorable baby boy clothes hanging in our custom budget walk-in closet. Now all we need is our sweet baby - COMING SOON!

I will, thank you
Just something I’ve noticed where you put the mobile over the cot is fab but I’ve learnt from my grandson camera they are super sensitive and the mobile will trigger movement even when the cot is empty, just something to be aware of. Beautiful nursery and your little one is going to be one very loved little boy 💙 x
@@sheilamcgough5948 aww thanks for that!

I'd recommend a baby changing station - just makes changing a nappy and dressing so much easier - then as the child gets older it can be repurposed into something else
Thank you for the tip!
@@mytinyestateyou could also use a low dresser and add sides all around and add padding for an upcycled dresser/changing table.
You might replace the toy chest for the upcycled dresser changing table until the baby is old enough for more toys. The dresser drawers are great for storing changing supplies.
@@tstrong7910I am was wondering about this. I don’t have kids but I’ve changed enough diapers to think about where that’s gonna happen.
The nursery is so lovely and the bird theme is peaceful! I am so happy for you!
As a great Gram who has helped with the littles on my family, please consider a diaper changing area that would include space for diapers, wipes,& ointment. It would be a great convenience if there were also receptacles for used diapers and for dirty/ used clothing…newborns require frequent clothing and bedding changes. Your upholstered rocker looks so inviting, but on those long nights when baby needs much holding & rocking, a chair with a tall back provides a place for the caregiver to rest their head & snooze a bit. Babies spit up a lot in the beginning and a washable slipcover will help keep the upholstery looking good.
Enjoy these next few month and years…they fly by swiftly!😘
This is a gorgeous nursery. What a beautiful start for your child. You both will be awesome parents.
Aww thank you 🥰
But the most important thing for the nursery you already have and that’s lots of love. You can tell by the care and thought you put into the nursery that’s going to be one loved little boy and his crib can be passed down to future children well done dads.
Thank you! Lots of love for sure ☺️
when i saw the finished nursery i burst out in tears..i was so happy.. i don't want be a mam anymore..i have my 37 years old son.. but i feel like, for you two, with you two, like a becoming grandma 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Awww 🥰
The nursery is absolutely beautiful! It’s definitely giving off a very peaceful and tranquil vibe. This little one is so fortunate to have you both as parents. Your love is coming through all the little details ❤❤
Thank you so much! We were so thrilled and excited to be doing that
I think that it's perfectly comfortable❤! Maybe when he starts walking you'll put some corner bumpers on the bricks on the fireplace? One of my three was extremely dopey until he grew out of it at four. Oh my was it worrying😢! We had tests run & they said he was just dopey & they were right, scary though! Your new son is just Beautiful❤!!! I'm sure he'll love his room for a very long time!
What a lucky baby boy to have two such generous and caring Dads!
We are thrilled with him ☺️
Have the man who made the bed build a matching changing table. They both can be used forever.
Yes we did think that 🥰
A changing table is so easy to turn into a dresser! Even can be toy/book storage, excellent for off season clothing storage. A place for cherished items! He could be a collector of weird stuff that as a parent, you might not want to see, like my daughter became a sock collector😂! She couldn't pass up odd/unusual or holiday socks. Odd at first but I got used to it❤!
if you are now new parents..the world, your world, changes in everything different ❤❤❤
Totally 🥰
I love your comment that giving the baby fewer toys will stimulate his imagination/creativity. I agree completely. I believe it also trains children to be self-starters and to come up with solutions rather than to wait for an answer to be fed to them. Congratulations. Your child is, indeed, a lucky boy.
Yes yes yes totally agree!!!!!
I agree. So many children today need constant entertainment. They have too many toys, too much screen time and not enough time by themselves to entertain themselves. The old playpen has gone by the wayside. You could put your infant/toddler in it and know they were safe and could entertain themselves for short periods of time.
My high school art teacher told us that his children had never had coloring books! He also didn't have a TV😢! As kids of the 70's we thought that was cruel & told him so😂! He said that it stifled creativity! As an adult, he was right, kinda. But kids need to fit in with their peers, or they will rebel, there has to be a balance❤!
@@marshawargo7238 I agree. Avoid extremes and seek balance.
the best bed i ever saw for a baby.. i hadn't still understand the word for the bed.. and finally i had watched and googled "cot".. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ never had heared this word..lol😂
Aww yes it’s a different word in American but yes cot here
Baby Changing Station is a MUST! 🏴
On the look out for something that we like now 🤎
Wow. That will be the babie's first closet and it is much nicer than mine :-)
And ours too 😂
When my children were growing up and they got so many gifts at birthdays and Christmas, I would split them up into 2 or 3 batches and then rotate the toys so they always felt new to them.😊
I used to do that, the rotation renews their interest! ❤ XXX
Thats a really good idea 🥰
❤️❤️❤️that crib omg beautiful such a sweet room and can listen to you both all day with your accents ❤️😊
😊 thank you🥰
Everyone should be as exited and happy about an impending baby as you two are. You’ll no doubt be great parents.
Aww thank you x
Cannot wait for the baby to move in now. Well done guys I also think that less is more as far as toys go, mine lived in a card board box and were played with all the time .
They do love cardboard boxes 🥰🥰🥰
Dream nursery... 👏👏👏
🥰🥰
Congratulations! What a beautiful nursery!
Aww thank you 😆
Hi guys, what a beautiful nursery. I had two boys, so lots of toys between birthdays & Christmas. What I used to do every few months was sort thru & donate those they've outgrown. The rest I divided into, one pile for the toy box & one box for the top of the closet. After a few months, if they became bored, I switched the toy box & closet box & it was like Christmas, as they had forgotten some of them. Hope this gives you an idea. Bless your little boy. ❤
Such a smart idea ! I think if we start accumulating too much we will do the same 🥰
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Bless the child that has you two, such beautiful, doting fathers (what the hell
…you’re both mega cute).
Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together with baby. Zoltán
Thank you so much! That is just lovely to hear!
You need a changing table. You can store nappies, wipes, bed linens, burb cloths, etc. You won’t believe how much you go through in a day. Just remember nothing needs to be perfect, love and consistency is what is really important.
Sooo true! The boys haven't realized yet, but soon will.... that their first year will be an endless flow of pee, poop and milk puke. 🤣 Their OCD tendencies are in for a big shock to the status quo! As I'm sure it was for most of us! 😎
Very sound advice! We definitely need a changing table
@@mytinyestate ... and maybe one downstairs in a laundry room maybe? You'll get very annoyed going up and down those stairs every 3 hours or less. 🙃
A laundry hamper is definitely needed
Oh yes!
So much love in this nursery. Your touches everywhere. A safe secure loving enviroment for you little boy💙I did not have a changing station when my 3 were babies but I wish I did have, so yes a bespoke one crafted by Bill would look amazing💜
So true! We do need one for sure
Borja's energy is infectious. You two are the best and will make the best dads, ever.
Hahah you can certainly feel what Borja is feeling! He always brightens up the mood!
Everything you have done looks beautiful, It is warm and relaxing and sweet. The birds
are wonderful. I think Hummingbirds are good luck. The bunny in the sports car is so cute.
That closet is really something, all of those perfect clothes. The Acorn growing is really nice.
I think the view you have about to many toys is good, this is the first time I have heard anybody
say anything like that before. The Books are so good and important.
Congratulations on your beautiful Nursery
Jeff❤
Aww thank you so much! Our challenge now is to stop friends and family to buy him toys when we want to restrain the amount 😅😂
I swear I got emotional over the crib. The craftsmanship is stunning . All your hard work and love shines throughout the nursery. Bravo! 🐦⬛🐛🤍🤎
Aww thank you so much 🤎🤎
Changing table/future Lego storage and display table, more “baby food” coloured clothing (the whites are gorgeous but impractical), safety netting for staircase railing.
Thanks! Definetly we need to up our game 😅
i like it, that you have now a costa rica nursery ❤❤❤ greetings from Costa Rica KARIN RUTH RIZ, emigrated from Switzerland ❤❤❤ LOVE YOU TWO
Awww love that 🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely changing Station. Diaper trash. And humidificateur. Then. Patience and love ❤️
🥰🥰🥰
The cot is beautiful! I highly recommend you look into getting some silicone 'gummi' rail protectors to put along the top edges of the cot once baby starts teething. When they can stand up they will chew on the timber & leave marks all over it. The silicone covers are safe for baby & you also don't have to worry about them 'eating' the cot ❤
Thanks for the tip! We will definitely look into them
The nursery looks so great that I began to tear up. That will be the luckiest baby in the world. Can you imagine when he’s grown and see this video, his dad’s building the perfect nursery for him. He will cherish the videos of the building of the nursery forever. Good thing you have a few years to edit all of the short videos into one long one, start to finish. The baby is coming!!!
That is so sweet! I actually looking back I can see this is a lovely diary for him when he is older ☺️
A change table and a night light. It will provide enough light to change the baby while the bottle is warming up. If you organize it just so, you can change the baby - even bathe him and change the sheets if necessary - without hardly opening your eyes!
That is a great idea!
You are missing a changing table. I agree with fewer toys. The starry night ceiling! Epic. I used a hanging bag for diapers. Because you use them so often. It was just convenient. But idk if they have them anymore. Congratulations the both of you!
Aww thanks yes we have one of them setup now 🥰
I love the acorn! I imagine you planting it in your garden and enjoying a picnic underneath its shade as a family -- magical.
Yesssss that was genuinely what we thought ❤️
Stunning ❤
Thank you! 😊
I agree with everyone. You need a changing table otherwise you’ll be changing their diaper on the floor. Beautiful nursery! And I also love the acorn. The tree will grow along with your precious child 🌳
Yesss that is the hope the trees grows with the little one! How cute will that be?
Babies see black and white at the beginning and then primary colours are good. Have you thought of painting the birds bright colours. Just a thought. Your excitement is infectious. 🤗🇨🇦
Aww thanks! We have lots of cards in black and white that we use with him 🥹
A changing table is necessary. And a hamper! Well done beautiful room!
Yes we are realising now that 😂
So BEAUTIFUL ❤😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Your nursery was created with love, and so it is beautiful. On the practical side, a night light would be helpful!
I am going straight to amazing to look for one ☺️
You guys are so sweet and funny ❤
🥰🥰
You're little angel will feel all the love you put into his room. Amazing ❤
🩵🩵💙🩵🩵
Super cute
Thank you! 😊
Look amazing, guys - the crib is just stunning!
The one thing I learned I needed: A footstool of some kind for the chair. You end up spending more time than you'll think in that chair, and being able to kick your feet up a bit for comfort is so nice!
Great idea!! We want to be comfortable there for sure ☺️
Omg it's gorgeous congratulations ❤
Thank you!! 😊
Super STUNNING! Super SIMPLE. The cot is just unbelievable. Gorgeous guys.
Thanks so much!!
There is nothing wrong with being a perfectionist. Are there any skills you two don’t have? You turn a hand to anything and it is perfection.
The room is beautiful. I love the carved wooden birds you bought too.❤xxxx
Thank you so much! I think our best skill is being delusional thinking we can have a go at everything 😂😂
I've had four kids and id agree with everyone who said changing station and also with the need for a co sleeping cot beside the bed because you need to be able to just turn over to see to the baby at night and then lie down and go back to sleep. A bottle warmer too in your bedroom and cool bag with ice blocks for pre prepared bottles...
Thank you so much! This is super useful ☺️
@@mytinyestate I forgot to add... Fill your freezer up with healthy ready meals so that you have lots of easy meals you can reheat in the first few weeks.... Also both soft and structured baby carriers so that you can carry the baby hands free and soothe them when they are feeling unsettled. Google to see the safest... 😊😊
Or a small refrigerator I have 5 children and it came in handy so you don’t have to keep going to the kitchen for bottles
A baby bumper around the rails of the cot…a Moses basket for inside the cot for the 1st month or so also with a stand. Changing station with mat & nappies. Baby bath….so excited for you both ❤
baby bumpers arent recommended any more due to risk of SIDS.
@@noreenen2347wow, didn’t know that
I think we must go shopping 😜
Yes we read about that! Just a plane cot
This is the most beautiful nursery put together with so much thought & love, from the sweet mobile to the amazing crib, closet and then to top it off with stars! What a welcome home this baby will have❤️
Thank you so much! The stars we always wanted that as kids ourselves 😂
WELL DONE!!!...Perhaps this has been done...be sure the trunk/ chest has the latest safety hinges & decent holes drilled into the bottom...children like to get into things...You guys are sooo talented!
Good luck with the “limited toys in chest” idea . 😆 By the second Christmas that will be blown out of the water, regardless of Dean’s upbringing. 😎
Oh no doubt but the idea is good hahaha
😮this is so cute everything is made of love and everything in his room is so meaningful. I love the idea of the chest you guys are right. Too many toys 🧸 would be too overwhelming. The little protective charm from grandma yess !! Keep the evil eye 🧿 🪬 away. For sure That bathroom definitely going to need a tub for his ducklings 🐥 bath time days potty training days. You do need a changing area you can buy a separate antique dresser that can hold the diapers, the wipes, the AD cream for diaper rash,the nose sucker, the cotton swab to clean his belly button all his little essential. And just have the baby changing pad on top. ☺️ i’m so excited for you guys. God bless
Awww yes thanks ! As we use the space we are learning where to have things to be handy 🥰🥰 it’s working really well at the moment
I think I had the same ambition as a first time mum on the toy front! Reality is family and friends love to give. By the time you have parties the plastic fantastic arrives and we'll be watching you convert a room into a playroom to contain all his stuff 😂. It's such a gorgeous space and your excitement is just infectious. As others have said, save your back and do a nappy changing station with everything within reach. Have a toy handy to distract and play whilst changing. Exciting times for you both!
Honestly! I hear you! We have already been given so many things that we would never have bought ourselves but what can you do?! 😅🤦🏽♂️ so you are very likely right!
The nursery is truly stunning and your excitement is palpable! Your baby is so lucky to be loved by both of you! The thought and care you put into each detail shows that love. Bird mobile & crib (cot) WOW!!!
Aww thank you!! We are so excited about it ☺️
A changing Table with storage for wipes, etc. Maybe a piece of furniture to upcycle. That is sturdy and a great height to change the baby's diapers. But honestly I can see the Love from family and friends all over the Nursery! I'm a gay man and I always dreamed of having a child. Well he is now 40 years old, married and I have a grand daughter! The love you'll have for him will blow your mind..........and Heart! So happy for you guys!
That has just made my day!
A changing station would be a pretty smart thing to have. Truth be told I have 5 children and never used a changing station even once. I was a nanny prior to having children of my own and I changed the children on the couch, the floor, the seat of the car or wherever! But others swear by theirs! The acorn growing is such a special thing! We have done that with each of our children as well so it really had us tearing up just seeing it. We have a plaque on our mantle that says “Mightly oaks from little acorns grow.” We look forward to watching you lovely family grow!
My husband and I have been watching your amazing sympathetic remodeling and just love the videos! If you ever need help that’s what he does for a living.
I know! That’s why we don’t have one yet as we thought exactly the same .. in America we have been changing him in one place though but it is just a small apartment… maybe when we get home it will be different we will see!
The nursery is beautiful! Changing table is good idea but remember that they roll over at about 3-4 mos of age so make sure you have sides on it. The other thing you will want to be super careful about is stairs - you will need gates!!!
Yes our little one is already rolling a lot! So what we have setup now isn’t going to work for long !
You have created a cozy warm space for your son. It is beautiful. I totally agree with you on the amount of toys. If there are too many toys to choose from children can get hyperactive. Their eyes go in too many places. The babies room is soothing because of the soft colors and minimal decor.
Yes totally or at least that’s what our intentions are… let’s see how it pans out 😆
Agree change station and closed nappy bin ..all the best for the both xx
Aww thanks!
The nursery is gorgeous! As others have suggested, you might want to have a changing table that could be open with visible shelves or closed so you can store diapers, and receiving blankets and other supplies! Looking forward to meeting your little one. ❤
Thanks for the tip! We certainly will need one
Such a lovely room, he will be so happy there………Donna in Toronto
He is thank you 🥰
🥰🥰
The nursery is absolutely beautiful. Love the bird mobile. The only thing that is missing and I hope it is somewhere close, is a change table. You need one for changing nappies, getting the baby dressed, etc. we have a two storey house and we had one on both levels.
Thank you!! I think we will certainly look into that ☺️
I look forward to seeing how long the toy quota rule lasts. Spectacularly beautiful and uncluttered nursery! Well done ❤. I agree with others. A changing “table” is a necessity. We bought a dresser and put a portable changing station on top of it. When our son got older, it reverted back to a dresser. Something that would match the chest you already have would be great.
Hahahahaha probably not long!
The little birds look soooo cute
🥰🥰
You guys had me laughing so hard with all the holes in the wall LOL ..... I'm with you, can't stand to look at cords! Congrats on your new baby son .....!
Hahaha it had to be done!
Love it! You might want add bumper pads in the baby’s bed.
🥰☺️
Amazed and speechless every time I see you guys embark on a project - and even more so when seeing the result. A million thanks for sharing!
Ahh thank you 🥰
Baby changing station at a good height for your backs. Drawers underneath can contain all the changing / cleaning things. But you’re probably planning something like this anyway ! There’s a wide choice of styles out there. Congratulations to you both and the room looks perfect :).
I think we will certainly need one! Otherwise our backs will suffer 😅
@@mytinyestate sorry just re read last message and I didn’t mean to sound a bit bossy at the beginning !
Good luck. 😊
Lovely room x
Thank you!
Definitely going to need a baby changing station 😊
I think so too!
Don’t stress about the toys. One day you won’t have any to put away or pick up. Enjoy every single messy baby moment filled with toys given with love. Get a bigger box lol congratulations the room is just darling!!
Yes! Thank you!☺️
He’s one lucky boy having you to as parents ❤
Thank you so much 🤎🤎
You’ve created a beautiful space, congratulations. It would be a good idea to have a dedicated nappy changing area. I’m sure you will both adapt very well 😊🇨🇦
Thank you so much! We do need to organise one of those
A change table will be very useful
For sure!
Omg the cot is wonderful 😍
Aww thanks!
You are going to need a changing table and a diaper pail. You could put that stuff in the future bathroom area so you don't have to look at it.
Very true! Still in the look out for a nice one ☺️
Stunning Nursery. That baby boy is so loved already. Congratulations to you both! 🎉😍 PS... Does the carpenter have his own YT channel? That cot is gorgeous.
Isn’t it! He doesn’t, he’s on instagram but I don’t think he is on here
Dean needs to work on his “invisible” wire hemming/threading! ❤ Also, blackout blinds will be the best money you have ever spent!
Yessss! We do have a black out blind in the nursery 😊
A rocking chair would come in handy to rock the baby to sleep the have some like the chair you have in the room
Yes we have one of those 🥰
The nursery looks incredible and a real credit to you both, the cot is spectacular, what a gem the carpenter is to be able to transform your vision into something so beautiful. BUT, WHERE IS YOUR BABY CHANGE TABLE??? These are a must both to change and to dress baby and also gives you somewhere to put their bathtub when it's bath time xxx
I know I know we thought we would change him wherever we are in the house but turns out we do need one 😆
Definitely need a changing station. Why not have your fantastic fine carpenter make one?
Haha right?! It would be amazing, but we already took the hit on the cot 😅 I think we will need to find something more cost effective for the changing table as much as it would have been amazing to have a bespoke one
Wow! So beautiful! My babies never had their own room! Just a basinette and later a bed. It's got beautiful energy. He'll need somewhere to hang his own artwork and I think that's it! I love your ideas about toys and I think you are spot on! Think of the Montessori and Waldorf approaches. They're so naturally-based and wholistic. You're going to be excellent parents! Compassionate, logical and intelligent! Bless.
Ahh thank you! And absolutely love that idea of a place to hang his own artwork 🥰🥰🥰
You will need that ensuite finished for the baby! A change table and cleaning/dressing area. Bottle feeding supplies for feeding every 3 hours or on demand feeding.
We realise now having the ensuite finished would be quite handy 😆
Hi my loves, I've sadly never been lucky enough to have a baby, but I think you need to have a nappy changing station, love to you both am so happy for you both xx
Thank you very much for the advice! I belive you are very right!
Lovely. Less is best.
🥰
You will definitely need 2 rocking chairs.❤
☺️
You new Dads are so adorable
🥰
Changing table!
🙌🏼
Guys, as a very clucky grandmother I can honestly say the nursery is perfection. You have both put so much time and thought in to been able to welcome your precious son in to the world and bring him home. My smile isn’t a big as yours but it’s pretty close. 💙💙💙
That feels our hearts! Thank you so much ☺️
*When Borja picked up the can and started spraying my mind went into slo mo "noooooooooooo" because I RUINED a centuries old print stunning lithograph of almonds, it was heartbreaking* 🫠
Oh no!! I am sorry 😔
Just found you guys today. Wow, what an amazing work ethic you both have. The attention to detail, creativeness in design- just fabulous!
I LOVE the cot but be prepared for him not to want to sleep in it for a while. You may get lucky and he might but my little one just wanted to sleep with us. So she did- for 2 years! She eventually did sleep in her cot but not without many tears. I hope you are blessed with a good sleeper!
Yes we are realising it’s a constant juggle as he just loves sleeping on us !
Perhaps you’d need a “changing table” with one or two drawers at your comfort height to be able to change diapers and dress the baby comfortably… you can put it in what will be a bathroom one day…
The nursery IS beautiful!!!😊😊❤❤
Aww thanks ! Yes we have learnt that the hard way ! We are currently planning something out 🥰
Dudes, your excitement is palpable. Can't stop smiling while I watch.
🥰🥰
Son muy creativos y tienen muchas habilidades y conocimiento de diseño. Me encanta.
Awww muchas gracias 🥰
Looks great. We’re super excited for you. Our kid is 25, so we’re not about to give you nursery tips from the ‘90s, lol
Hahaha brilliant!
Oh my darlings it couldn’t be anymore beautiful ❤ the cot is stunning and I adore the medal ❤ just perfect in every way xxx
Thank you! For me the medal makes it extra special!
❤❤❤❤❤
☺️
kudos to have made this beautiful and cosy nursery❣️for me the most beautiful piece is the mobile of birds & the shadows! it tells stories and triggers the imagination!
Honestly we LOVE the bird mobile so much 😀😀
@@mytinyestateno wonder...❣️
