Now that we are in the know that the little nugget does in fact have nuggets, we are beginning to plan the nursery. Before we were even pregnant, I was pinning stuff on Pinterest. That website is a life sucker, but oh so helpful in the department of party, wedding, and baby planning! I swear I have a pin for everything, and yet I seem to never actually DO any of them! Shame on me!
First, we agreed that we did not want to repaint the office because we were so enamored with the charcoal grey paint. Some people would disagree and say that it is too dark, but I absolutely LOVE the dark grey, and I can't wait to see everything come together. The wonderful nursery below reinforced my desire to NOT repaint:
Our grey isn't quite so dark, but seeing this picture and a hundred other grey nurseries on Pinterest made me happy to see that there are so many different ways to make a "dark" wall color work in a nursery. Also, I wanted to make the nursery something that our baby could grow with instead of growing out of it within the first 6 years of his or her life.
About thirteen weeks into our journey, I began a board dedicated to nursery things. I never realized how many awesome ideas were out there until I started actively looking. At about 7 weeks pregnant, I quickly settled on an overarching theme--owls--and my mother indulged me with this amazing ceramic owl table purchase from Marshalls during our visit home for Christmas.
I suppose this, along with the rug she purchased from Zulily (below), were really the springboard for the nursery theme.
Once I had these pieces, the hubby and I agreed that we would try our best to stay neutral when it came to the bedding, so that we could reuse the majority of our purchases for the next go around if we are inclined to be so brave. I looked for a few months before I finally found something on Walmart.com that the hubby even had an opinion about, which was a feat in and of itself! I purchased it the next week!
I have found what I think will be some awesome additions to the nursery. Now I just need to get to work purchasing them from the appropriate Etsy stores!
I am totally wanting a vinyl decal, but I'm stuck on which one to choose. I love my hubby to death, but he is absolutely ZERO help on decoration decisions! I think it was still a fluke that he expressed any opinion about the crib, dresser, and bedding set at all!
Any suggestions?!
Ohhhh! I absolutely love all of the wall decals, but I especially love the bottom one! Also, try babysupermall.com- they have wall decals for other owl sets that may work with yours.
ReplyDelete:-) It's so hard to choose! We are still working on cleaning out the room, so it has been tough to visualize exactly how things are going to look once it is all completed. I need to order something soon though.
