Nursery ideas
So, now that we've got the gender figured out, what's our next step? Since we can't narrow down a name just yet, I thought it might be time to start looking at ideas for the nursery. Well, that and my creative sister-in-law Jill keeps me motivated in this area with all her own home projects and awesome decorating ideas. So I went online and found these bedding themes that I really like. None of these, unfortunately, were at Babies R Us when James and I went briefly to look at cribs last week. So I guess I'd have to order all the pieces online ... but that's okay!
I'm really into animals or alphabets ... and the browns/tans paired with other fun colors. I LOVE farm animals and jungle animals! We didn't do any themed bedding for Emma's room. We just found random pieces in the colors we liked (pink, green and white) and matched everything together. I think I really want a theme for the new nursery ... animals or the alphabet. Although below you'll see the cute worker vehicles bedding -- I like those colors but I don't love the dump trucks and backhoes as much as I love all the animals.
This alphabet one is unique -- and the only mainly pale blue theme I like. My sis-in-law Jill turned me on to this one and I love the tangerine paired with the pale blue! And the polka dots are so fun!
We know we definitely want his name (um, TBD) on the wall in big letters like we did for Emma's room. We'll do dark letters though, to match the crib and dresser we plan to get. We know we want to get a darker wood crib (not white like Emma's or pale wood) and we have to get a dresser. We're not going to get a changing table -- we used my old high school dresser for Emma's changing table and it worked perfectly. She can keep that dresser through the years. All we did was put a changing table pad on top and voila -- it's an instant changing table with a lot more space and versatility! So we plan to do the same for this little guy who's currently kicking my bladder.

Okay. I'll share my boy names since I haven't officially decided to have children yet, and I feel like I will probably only see you once a year at Jacksons birthday party..so it wouldn't be the end of the world for me ;)

Whatever happened to the name Jackson? Did you give up on it?

i did the animal themed one that i got from pottery barn kids. it has the super softy fitted sheet with it. if you would like it, let me know! i can send you pictures. :)
Please let me know if we can come help decorate. We would sure love to assist with our new nephews space.
I'd check Babysupermall.com and albeebaby.com, BTW. I got our bedding way cheaper than it would have been at BRU. That reminds me, I need to put up some pics of Collin's room. It's gray walls with crimson trim, of course. ;-)
