Babies = new design challenges!
Challenge #1: We lost a guest bedroom. Our solution was outfitting the sunroom with a sleeper sofa for the time being.
Challenge #2: Start from scratch decor (who has a crib laying around?)
Before we knew Davis was a boy, I had this great bird nursery laid out in my head, complete with hand painted tree and birds on the branches. Then at 20 weeks I had to turn my pink thoughts to blue ones! I wanted to do blue whales, but found there was no bedding or kits in that theme. Time to make my own!
1. Google Blue Whale Nusery – This blog post was my inspiration
2. Go thru 6 different blue colors to find the right wall hue. Have husband paint walls.
3. Pick out furniture! This was so hard! We ended up finding all the furniture at decor 4 kids in Noblesville. Fantastic selection!
4. Bedding! Wouldn’t you know it Pottery Barn comes out with a whale theme the season after we purchase ours!? My advice on bedding is to pick out something neutral, if we have another little boy now I can do a whole new theme and keep the same bedding.
5. Add your mommy style! …oh and then have the baby.
