Nursery Inspirations

Because we're not finding out the gender of the baby, some have suggested that decorating the nursery will be a bit of a challenge.

Hardly.

One of my favorite bloggers of the blog Becoming-Home.net has another blog Becoming-Mom.net and I fell in love with the color scheme for her nursery. Soft, muted greens and blues.

The room we've designated as the nursery already has the same soft blue on the walls (in need of a fresh coat of paint), nearly a periwinkle blue. Very neutral, if blue could be such a thing. I especially adore the soft lime roman shades on the Becoming Mom nursery tour photographs and how the green of the shades plays off the blue walls, white trim and hardwood floors, all things that we have in our nursery. The faux animal print rug in the photos is something I'm leaning towards, but I almost prefer something softer, more fluffy, and akin to a sheepskin rug (faux of course).

Fortunately, I have the benefit of a creative sister and a talented mother who will each have a hand in shaping the final result - helping me make bedding, curtains, find just the right lamps, etc.

I can't wait to start on the nursery- I suspect after the floors are refinished, the nursery will be my next big project.

Kevin says what I really mean is that the nursery will be his next big project. Well, he's halfway right. I'll purchase the items and he can put the crib together, paint, etc. Go Teamwork!
