One of the first things I started googling when I found out I was pregnant was “baby nursery ideas.” Decorating a space with childlike adorableness sounded like such an exciting thing to do! But, after 4 months I must say I haven’t been wowed by many nurseries I’ve come across. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places, maybe my expectations are far too high, but most nurseries I’ve seen are either way too over-the-top with hot pink or toy trucks plastered all over the walls, or they are just plain rooms without much going on. I do want my baby’s room to be gender-specific, but not in an overpowering way. I’m thinking handmade art and decor, inviting textures, lots of neutrals, and small touches of pink or blue. I think I’ll have a little more direction 2 1/2 weeks from now when I know the gender of our baby (I cannot wait to find out! I’ve never been more excited!). I did have a huge surge of inspiration for the room based on the names we picked for both a girl and boy….but that will mean I won’t be able to reveal the room in its entirety to all of you until after the birth since this little one’s name is top secret until then:)


A few nurseries I’ve come across along the way that I do like (I guess I really am forever drawn to neutrals, but I think if used properly a neutral nursery can be oh so soothing)….
