Happy Friday, you guys!
We had our latest ultrasound yesterday morning, and all looks well with Baby Sprout (yay!). We had decided before we were even pregnant that we would want to find out the sex of the babe, and I have been flip flopping back and forth for the last 4+ months about whether I think it is a little miss or a little fella in there. Well, the wait is almost over! We had our ultrasound technician write down the sex and put it in an envelope yesterday… and tonight, we will be opening it! It’s my sweet hubby’s birthday today (happy birthday, dan!!) – so what a fun birthday present, right?!
Along with imagining our sweet babe, I am totally daydreaming about the nursery. The office is slowly being disassembled, and so we will get moving on this project soon. I have no idea in which direction I’m leaning on the design for this space, so my Pinterest board is just slowly filling up with spaces I come across and love. No real theme here – just baby rooms that make my heart melt.

When I look at all of these, there are a few similar threads running through them. The first is that most are painted in a neutral or light colour, with pops of bright colours being added with the furniture and accessories — this is definitely the route I’ll be taking with our nursery. And secondly, none are themed or have too much of a childish look about them. Yes, they are whimsical and fun, but they don’t scream ‘kid’ to me, you know?
Anyway, there will be a lot more pinning and scheming after tonight’s little reveal. What do you guys think – anyone placing any boy or girl bets?
And not to get too cheesy up in here, but happy birthday to the most kind, generous, hard-working, goofy and best-dancing man I know!! Love you, danny b. xo!!
Have a great weekend, folks!

How exciting! I love the last room best. Navy chevron, gold accents, and pink. So precious!
So gorgeous, right? I think either way I’m going to have to work in some gold into my design… !!

Great ideas, I love them all! The best part – they’re not too “baby”.
Watching some of the design shows by Sarah Richardson (like Sarah’s House), she advises, when designing/decorating a children’s room such as a bathroom, not to go the traditional kid route by using rubber duckies, etc. She suggests designing a kid friendly area (as they will be the main users) but in a way that can withstand time so you don’t have to re-decorate/re-design when the child gets older (as this can get expensive). All these nursary ideas can withstand time and not have to change as the baby gets older.
Happy Designing!!!
I couldn’t agree more, Suzanne!! I will definitely be tackling our nursery with the same philosophy.

I could happily live in any of those rooms! They’re stylish without being babyish. BTW, I’m guessing girl ;)
