Portal-Themed Nursery Starts Baby Off Right

Want to get your little gamer off on the right foot? Then what you need is a warm, inviting, totally-not-evil Portal-themed baby room.

If you need proof that the gamer generation is all growed up, look no further than this awesome nursery, done up wall-to-wall in a fantastic Portal motif. It's got everything a newborn test subject needs: an orange and blue color scheme, plenty of instructional and cautionary icons and even a Weighted Companion Cube storage box. There is no cake, however. I don't think I need to explain why.

The great thing about this room is that it's not an overly elaborate production. Anyone with some paint, some time and a little motivation could pull off the same thing. That's not meant to denigrate the work of whoever it was that put this room together, but rather to applaud the approach; not many people can afford to hire a design firm to turn a bedroom into a pirate ship, but with a little care and effort a room like this is well within anyone's reach.

That's just so cute! If I ever have kids - gods forbid - I'd totally consider a Portal themed baby room =3

What nursery? I want one for myself!

That's awesome though, that kid will be of great importance. FOR SCIENCE!

It is totally awesome! For the parents. Maybe just the father. The kid could end up hating Portal because of this. That would be tragic.

I would have loved to grow up in a room like this one, if Portal had existed when I was a baby. I'm now really considering making a room like this for when I'll children, not that it will happen any time soon.

But no Portal-themed baby room is complete without an official Aperture Science "Turret Mobile".

I like how they made the circles for the door go to the light switch. I wonder if they refer to their baby as the test subject.

OK, this actually bugs me a tiny bit.

This is not a room for the kid; this is a room for the parents. The kid just lives there.

Hmm, not as lethal but I guess it works.
