nursery board

i made an inspiration board for the nursery. i think i've decided on a modern yet comfortable look, but every once in a while i want to do an elegant, fluffly boys room (lots of white with light blue accents). i think mr. h3b wouldn't be so agreeable. plus, i'd have to dress the baby in tiny sailor suits and rompers all the time so he'd fit with his room. again, convincing mr. h3b would be difficult...

so i've decided on a simple look. cool gray walls with a light aqua accent wall and pops of bright yellow, white, and aqua all over the room. i don't like themes, characters, or gender specific bedroom sets, so this is what i came up with. i love, love gray and really like white furniture for a small space (as the nursery is bound to be). i'll fill the square shelves with books and small things we've collected, but otherwise i don't see this as a cluttered store-all space. if it's a crying room (me or baby), i at least need it to be relaxing.



want these things? here's a list of places i found while searching. i'm using some as inspiration while other items (like the furniture) are decided upon. note that many of these items can be found at a variety of locations
1. tissue paper pom mobile (DIY)
2. baby mod olivia crib in white/amber available at walmart
3. animal a-z poster by etsy seller tarahogan
4. expedit bookcase in white from ikea
5. spade damask pillow cover by etsy seller moddiva
6. dwellstudio gio aqua pillow available at allmodernbaby

11. plover organics confetti crib quilt from fawn and forest
12. monte alto rocker in stone available at pacifier

honestly, i want to have a million kids so i can make more rooms. nurseries are so much fun. i can't wait to start putting mine together!
