Only a diva like Mariah Carey would have not one, but TWO lavish nurseries for her twins -- one on each coast!

Mariah opened up her Bel-Air mansion and New York apartment to give a little sneak peek of the place her and Nick Cannon's twins will soon call home. Or homeS.

“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.”

The cloudscape ceiling of her L.A. nursery was designed around some of Mariah's music. “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,’” she says.

As for the challenges of raising two privileged little kids, Mariah says, “It’s going to be a delicate balance between raising them around glitz and glamour and keeping them grounded. One thing I’m sure of is that I’ll be grateful for the twins every day, no matter what.”
