Getting ready for babies: Mariah Carey in the nursery she has created in her Bel Air, California, home ahead of the arrival of her twins


With less than a month until her due date, Mariah Carey is making certain that her twins will be born into luxury.

The 42-year-old has given a sneak peek inside the lavish new nursery she has created in the Bel Air, California, mansion she shares with her husband, Nick Cannon, 30.

The room is trimmed with her signature motif - butterflies - and stuffed-animals including a lamb and a huge giraffe, which was a gift from Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne.

'I wanted to create a beautiful, tranquil, cozy environment for the babies,' Mariah, who is expecting a boy and a girl, tells the new issue of America's Life&Style magazine.

'Everything matches, but pieces are individualized to celebrate the twins as separate entities.'

She called decorator Mario Buatta and AFK Furniture's Gail Sedigh to help transform the rooms.

'I feel like I’m bringing two individuals into the world, so I wanted to do more than cookie-cutter styles in blue and pink.'

They opted for a pink and green theme bed trimmings rather than the traditional pink and blue.

Mariah also looked to her own music for inspiration.

'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 favourites: Underneath the Stars and Close My Eyes,' she reveals.


Mariah, who is due on May 14, is eager to begin her new role.
