Future Nursery (XP)...

amdraza · August 2010

Okay, so based on previous posts, I know that many of you are from the school of thought that planning future nurseries is too "cart before the horse" (which is understandable), but for those of you that are crazy planners (like me)... I thought that I would share my nursery design boards.

I posted these on the Nurseries and Baby Gear board, but I thought I would share them here too, since I post more regularly on this board.

For a boy:

For a girl:

What do you think? Besides that I am crazy for planning so far a head

I really like the girl one!

I think designing a nursery is highly overrated and you should just buy the things that are practical (and will actually get used).

I know many moms wind up thinking the nursery decorating was a waste after their LO arrives and wished they had saved the money instead.

I am thinking about doing a pink/brown theme also if I have a girl. And I love the baby boy wall hangings.

Don't worry, I have a ton of nursery items bookmarked AND a Target registry started. Embarrassed

I've 'dreamed' the same thing. I have nursery sets bookmarked on my computer for boys and girls. I really like the girls one you picked out!

I'm a huge planner too though I haven't made any final decisions, I do like to look and I have files saved of things I like to go back to when the time comes. Nothing wrong with dreaming I say.

The boy one is NMS at all

cute on both accounts. I'm a bigger fan of purple than pink, but that's a personal preference.

I hear yah... the nursery decor is probably for me more than the baby, but that's okay with me. I design all the other rooms in my house, so I couldn't image not designing the nursery.

Yep, I have a design budget. I don't see anything wrong with dreaming about and putting together a 'designed' room for your LO.

My style tends not to include matchy type bedding and things, but I like what you've done.

I have a TON of pictures saved and lots of links bookmarked... I can lose HOURS searching for baby stuff on etsy.com lol.

This is my fave so far:

(I think I actually stole this from someone on here lol)

To PP: I love that room! It looks so fun!

I thought I was the only one!! Glad to know I'm not alone.

OP I have plenty of nursery pics and ideas on my vision board and screen savers. I also have a few baby items that i brought on sale, I am all about having the cart before the horse LOL

I felt like a crazy person b/c I have maternity clothes in my closet and baby stuff in my attic all given to me by friends for my future child. I also have baby furniture waiting for me in a friends attic. My mother is already working on a blanket adn sweater for her grandchild to come! Once people found out we were trying they went crazy giving me stuff!! I am a HUGE planner so I was totally ok with all of it. I know exactly what I wnat for every single thing already from the car seat to the bedding so don't feel crazy!! I am right there with you!

I'm quite the planner myself, but I'm just working on getting pregnant right now. I figure I'll have 9 LONG months to get all the baby gear I need.

Agreed! Although, I understand looking at the Etsy baby stuff for waaaay too long.

I know, it's so spunky! I love the colors!

I never saw the point of decorating a nursery all up. We just left the bedroom walls tan like they were, and I bought a striped sheet and brown curtains to match the sheet (also keep light out). We have a crib, one 5 drawer dresser and my glider in the corner. Instant nursery.

I think it's cute though, and I'm sure for some it's exciting to get the room all ready when the time comes. I just didn't want to waste money.
