Now that the baby cat is out of the bag, I have been very busy on my friend Pinterest checking out awesome baby things. We haven’t gotten too far with anything yet, but what I do know is that nursery decorating FEELS harder than normal decorating. I want the nursery to be cute (since I’m guessing I’ll be in there a LOT) but also very organized and functional. And as a soon to be first time mom, I have LITERALLY no clue what I am doing. So that said, here’s some thoughts that I’m lovin’ on right now.
I love clean and simple and most importantly, gender neutral. We’re planning to find out what we’re having, but we’re not planning to share with anyone. I’m planning a pretty neutral nursery that we can incorporate some gender specific accents into later if we want.
First up — I love basically everything about this nursery.
I am most in love with the striped wall, I think it’s fun and playful while not screaming “a baby sleeps here”. I think it could easily transition into toddler years or later without having to redecorate. I also love the pops of orange.

I love the blues and greens in this room (and of course, another striped wall). Olivey green and turquoise blue is one of my favorite color combinations.

Love the gray/yellow color scheme of this room and the chevron wall (vs stripes).

Again, more blues/greens/grays. Looks like without really thinking I’ve found my potential color scheme. SCORE!
I’m excited to get started, but definitely want to get further planning before we dig in. Decorated a nursery before? Any tips or tricks to share? Must have items? Organizational tips? I’m all ears!
Congrats!!! I love your choices so far. I’m also a fan of the gender neutral nurseries
Congratulations!
These images are beautiful. I’m sure you’ll come up with something equally stunning. My only advice in planning a nursery (and it really goes for any room) is to think about your behavior and how you will use the space…. It may seen like the obvious comment, but it so easy to get caught up in planning the perfect nursery that sometimes the obvious things get missed. For me, the most important parts of the nursery were/ are the rocker, and comfortable flooring to play on.
I really enjoy your blog and am looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
I definitely agree–a rocker!! Am anxious to see what you decide.
I’m kind of obsessed with those “pom pom bunches” that I’m seeing all over (like above the changing table in the pic above) so I vote for any excuse to do that.
Oh and the Chevron…LOOOOOOVE me some chevron stripes!!
