Speaking of smaller works of art, look how Atlanta decorator Tyler Colgan incorporated a painting into the changing table niche of her baby's nursery. Inspired! Whether it's a family heirloom or a flea market find, I love the idea of using fine art in this unexpected way.See more of the Colgan family's 1950s ranch makeover at cottageliving.com.

BTW: If you are shopping for baby wares in Atlanta, be sure to visit B. Braithwaite.

It looks like the lamp shade is lined with the wallpaper. Now that's attention to detail! Plus, can't you just picture a desk in that space when the baby is older.
Ms. Wis -- great idea.
I read that Tyler had been collecting paintings and other objects all her adult life, taking them from apartment to apartment, so how great to be able to use one of the paintings here, if that's the case.
This is the coolest changing station I've ever seen.
L-O-V-E IT!
You're an expert Seleta :)
That house is gorgeous and soo welcoming. Thanks for the link! I love the use of space.
I love when people turn closets with awful bifold doors into niches for desks, beds or in this case changing tables. It's so easy to do and looks so custom!
So very darling, this is just a great idea!

So glad everyone has a positive reaction to what Tyler did. I love it and I think the light fixture and art (plus continual pattern) just make it!
Ha ha, that's funny. I once read that an expert is defined as one who intensely studies a particular subject every day for a minimum of five years. So......given my nine year run, I guess I've made diaper changin', chillin' raisin' expert status. LOL.
Actually, I'm shopping for a baby like that. Know where I can get one that cute? this is cutest nursery I think I ever saw!
And Joni i think you will like the check upholstery Tyler selected for her living room too. But nothing is as sweet as that picture with the baby :)
What a doll! This space is so adorable. That painting is the perfect foil for the pendant light with the cute polka dots. :)
I have been lusting over that picture of their living room. those chairs just do something to me! why?????? I'm crazy.
then I had a client just email me that picture and say, I like these chairs. Wow. Karma. If she only knew.
The chairs are so you Joni! Very J. Lanham too :)
I know I'm very late to the party on this one but I can't seem to track down more info on the wallpaper. Do you happen to know? I know you get hit up with these annoying questions all the time so I apologize! I'm just keep coming up empty handed! Thanks!

Hi Elizabeth -- I'll see if I can find out!
Thank you! I know you're very busy so I hate to bother you and was hoping it would be a quick answer for your sake. This is about the closest I can find:

The scale and color on this is off from the picture so I'm pretty sure it's not it. I'm working on a nursery for baby boy #2 and just have this idea set in my mind (hoping the wallpaper also comes in a fabric to do the reverse of the pic). Maybe I need to be a little more flexible!
Thank you again! Don't spend over 5 minutes on this! You're way too busy!
Hi Elizabeth!
I don't want to give up. Most of Cottage Living's images have been moved to this site:

So far I've found part of Tyler's house but not the nursery. This may just require an email. Let me see...
Warmly,
Courtney
