Ahhh…the real fun begins. We’re currently in the process of designing our nursery—obviously a big undertaking for such a small little wee one who will soon occupy the space {March is just around the corner after all}. Contrary to some, I am looking for a calming, relaxing atmosphere for Miss Caroline…no bright colors, no baby-ish themes, only simple and serene for our little peanut. So, I wanted to post some of my favorite nursery looks to show you a little more about how we’re “envisioning” the perfect baby room.

Progress has been made, as we checked off one huge component from our to-do list last week…we ordered Caroline’s nursery furniture and bedding! I had been anxiously awaiting Restoration Hardware Baby and Child’s Friends and Family Sale and when I got the email saying it was coming, Jeff knew it was time to hand over the money so I could get down to business! I’m not going to lie, it was a bit difficult for me to order furniture I’ve not seen in person, though I did order wood swatches beforehand to get an idea of the coloring—here is an inspiration board I created with some of the items we’ve purchased so far, which will hopefully help us through the rest of our shopping adventures and what we hope the nursery to look like once it’s all finished:
and the bedding is the Europen Flax Stripe Colection in Petal
I really wanted furniture that she could grow with, as the crib converts into an adorable toddler bed, and the dresser is a piece we will mopst certainly keep forever…elegant, simple lines with classic details—swoon! More shopping to be done in the near future, including ordering art for the walls, window treatments, new lighting, as well as an upholstered glider. And of course, painting the nursery–doubtful that this will remain a “neutral” colored space, for my husband was fully aware once they confirmed girl it was going to be endless amounts of blush and bashful in our future. Cannot wait to see the progress of what promises to be my favorite new room in the house and I promise to update as we go! 😉
If I was having a baby I would go the same route! I love the neutral nursery with touches of elegance! I bet this one is gonna go down in the books! – Sarah
I love the scheme for the nursery!!! I want to go the same route once we have have children. It's smart and classic. Love it! When I read your colors (blush and bashful) I thought of the movie Still Magnolis…those were her wedding colors ;)!!! Just perfect for a little princess!!!
I LOVE the natural, elegant, and timeless scheme you have chosen. So calm and relaxing and something she will never grow out of! Congrats again :).
I love it!
BEAUTIFUL! This is also what I envision someday wanting for my baby…I like the neutral palette with just the hints of color peeking out! Can't wait to see it all finished!
