A nursery mood board that we really love. Maybe our final nursery decision? We shall see.
I think I really can say "we" for this one. I can convince Andy that we need anything if it's green or coordinates with green. Too bad it's not yellow, because yellow is much more in style right now. But I think I can make green work in the nursery...especially with Etsy close by.
We registered at Target and Babies 'R' Us this weekend. People who design nurseries like the one above definitely do not shop at Babies 'R' Us or Target. After registering at Babies R Us, I was looking through one of the free magazines they gave us and I came across an advertisement for a sleek looking black and silver pack and play. It said: "Bunnies and pastel pinks may be cute and all, but every woman has her breaking point." My sentiments exactly. Not that there's anything wrong with pastels- I've seen really sweet nursery designs with pastels, it's just what I'm looking for.
Anyway, I realized quickly that they decorative type items I'm looking for will not be purchased in bulk at Babies 'R' Us or Target. Here are a few things I really have my eye on from Etsy (per request of my mom):
Custom bedding might be a bit of a stretch on our budget...but I love it. I really just need the skirt, sheet and changing pad cover. I did find a no-sew crib skirt tutorial, so maybe I'll attempt the skirt myself! How hard can it be? I'm guessing harder than it looks since most people charge around $100 for custom crib sheets....Maybe I'll be feeling adventurous one weekend and attempt it.
