In just weeks, Mariah Carey and Nick Canon's twins will be born, and the nursery in the couple's L.A. home will be more than ready for their arrival.
Carey tells Life & Style that one of her favorite aspects of the design is the nursery's 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.' 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."
Carey has put a lot of thought into what it means to be a mother, telling the magazine it's "probably the hardest job in the world. I feel like, in a lot of ways, children come into the world to teach us.
"It's going to be a delicate balance between raising them around glitz and glamour and keeping them grounded," Carey told the mag. "One thing I'm sure of is that I’ll be grateful for the twins every day, no matter what."
