New Nursery Ideas

Since Thursday, I’ve really been thinking a lot about our little girl’s nursery! Before we found out the gender, I had already started doing a few things to prepare for this new babe that I thought could go either way! I painted our current guest room/future second nursery a really great color by Ben Moore called Palest Pistachio. It’s a super soft greeny blue. I love it!

I also got an antique oushak rug off of ebay for a total steal! I’d also started at looking at Ikea cribs again, but when I went to order one last night, the shipping was $350! The crib itself was only $80! A year ago when I ordered Wilson’s crib, the shipping was $20… So I’m not sure what in the world is going on there! I’ve contacted Ikea to see if maybe that was a miscalculation… I sure hope so because we LOVE the Ikea crib we got Wilson! Anyway, I’ll deal with that later…

For now, here is a mood board I started to help my thought process (and to have something to show Price!) for nursery #2…

That chair, only in a white denim, is the one we currently have in Wilson’s room. We are just going to move it over to baby girl’s room and replace where the chair was in his room with this tent (which we already have and Wilson LOVES!) I’m probably also going to order an inexpensive, smaller rocker to put in there to have a place to sit. I really like this one!

The rug on the mood board isn’t our exact one, but it’s pretty darn close! And I’m really wanting to do a chalkboard wall in the room and finish it by applying a painted gold molding to sort of frame it! Still thinking that one through… I also definitely want some bookshelves somewhere!

That doodle fabric is some of the cutest I’ve seen, so I want to get some of that to make some pillows out of! That’s available through SummerHouse! We already have an old wooden ladder thing that I am planning to use to hang blankets. I envision a stuffed animal basket sitting at the bottom of that! 🙂 Speaking of stuffed animals… How cute are these from rOw^10?!

I think my accent color is going to be a seafoamy bluey greeny color, and since it’s a girl, I may try to incorporate a soft coral or something into the mix as well! Who knows… We’ll see how it all comes together! Oh, and a pop of greenery plus some twinkle lights are a MUST! I’ve found that those two things make rooms so much happier! (I think so, anyway) 🙂

I hope to find time to do make a mobile for in there, perhaps slightly similar to the one I did for Wilson! But the real challenge is finding the time! Anyone got any good tips to making your time multiply?! HA!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope y’all have a great day! Stay tuned for another exciting giveaway to start on FRIDAY! WOO HOO!

XOXO!
