Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon have had a long, difficult road to parenthood but with their twin babies (a boy and a girl) coming soon, they’re having a great time preparing themselves and their home for their new family.
Carey shared some early snaps of the nursery she designed for her babies with Life & Style this month. The family has designed two nurseries, one for the LA house and the other for their NYC apartment. There’s a heavy emphasis on cozy chairs and fuzzy stuffed animals, along with a dose of style and imagination from their creative parents.
“I wanted to create a beautiful, tranquil, cozy environment for the babies,” Mariah told Life & Style. “Everything matches, but pieces are individualized to celebrate the twins as separate entities.”
Mariah’s favorite part of the twins’ LA nursery? The cloudscape, star-speckled ceiling. “The ceiling has orangey-pink clouds in a blue sky with golden stars twinkling. It’s based on two songs I wrote that are fan favorites: ‘Underneath the Stars’ and ‘Close My Eyes,’” Mariah tells Life & Style. “Sometimes I just sit in the nursery and stare at the ceiling because I love it so much. To me, it symbolizes wanting my children to dream as big as possible and to let their imaginations be unbridled.”
