Short on space? Here's how to fashion a beautiful, functional nursery in a very small area.

Creating an appealing baby's room is one of the most fun things you'll do to prepare to bring your newborn home. But what if you're short on space?

Los Angeles-based designers Michele Adams and Gia Russo (known as the design team MiGi) transformed an 8-by-10-foot area into this tranquil baby's room (with a cool, retro feel). Plus, they offer tips on how you can do it yourself, no matter how much--or little--space you have.
