Nursery Ideas

It all began one warm summer day as I was washing sheets from the three beds in our home; our queen, the guest/our son’s full, and the crib. I started thinking about ways to make the kid’s bedroom work for both our son and our unborn daughter. Around the time that my husband and I were planning our wedding, I read an article about using white bed linens and towels not only for ease of washing but also for simplicity and cohesion. Needless to say, I did not purchase white bed linens or towels. With multiple moves and rearrangement of … Continue reading →

This was one I never had to worry about. I just found out when the baby was born. If you don’t know, then you might want to stick with colors not … Continue reading →

Nursery Design Idea: 3D Wall Art

One of the favorite projects I worked on for my son’s nursery was a 3D plush turtle for the wall. It’s easy to make and looks amazing on the nursery wall. Design: To get started, pick a simple design.

You could also arrange geometric shapes, slightly spaced apart, or do another simple design such as a flower. Sketch out the design on a sheet a paper and plan the dimensions. Remember to … Continue reading →

One of the most exciting parts of my pregnancy was planning my son’s nursery. I could not wait for my 18 week ultrasound so I could find out the sex of our baby. Even before the ultrasound, I had begun planning color schemes and themes for both boys and girls.
