Nursery Inspiration Boards

Aside from cleaning out the closets, I really haven't done much to prepare the guest room for becoming a nursery yet. I even have an unopened can of Kilz primer sitting in the room, waiting to cover up that deep red wall so that I can go over it with a nice gray-green or another calming hue. There's just something about nursery-izing a room... I guess it makes everything OFFICIAL. I don't want to get ahead of myself.

That's not to say I haven't been THINKING about what a Baby G nursery could look like. Depending on whether it's a boy or a girl, I put together a couple of options (click the photos to view larger):

I made those inspiration boards well over a month ago, and I've already pretty much changed my mind on the Baby Boy Gaultney room. I could still see it having a sailor/nautical theme, but that room doesn't get a ton of light, so I might need a lighter/brighter color for the walls. Whatever I choose, I want either room to be able to "grow up" with the little one and not be too babyish. I am in love with the little girl room, but I have a feeling we may be going with the nautical theme, if you know what I mean.

Oh, and I should mention that INSPIRATION is the key word here. Many of the sources I used are going to be WAY too expensive, but I'll look for something similar.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Other favorite sources I should check out?

  2. Aww thanks, Jen! I do know about Pinterest, but I actually just made these in Photoshop. I finally just decided one day and put a few of my ideas down on "paper" (e-paper). I may change my mind again before we start work on the nursery in a month and a half or so!
