Hi everyone! This is my first post and now that I'm half way through my pregnancy the nerves are starting to calm and I'm getting excited about baby shopping and preparing.
Has anyone started their nursery room yet? What color did you choose for the furniture? Do you have a theme or color scheme?
Curious to see what everyones ideas!
Re: Nursery Rooms
We are doing more of a vintage floral thing I guess you could say. We just finished painting 2 of the walls a glass tile color which is a light mint green and the other walls were already a light gray. My SIL gave me her crib which is white but I didn't want white furniture so we refinished a dresser to be kind of a middle of the spectrum grey. The bedding is more pinks and corals with some gold accents. It's been fun this time around b/c with my son we didn't sign the ppwk for our house until the day after I went into labor so his nursery wasn't finished until he was almost 7 months old which is a superhero theme.

@holyboobsbatman I LOVE the baby blanket. So beautiful and you are super talented! Beautiful color as well.
@Griffin5413 I'm sure it'll be so nice to have the nursery done before the baby being born! The color theme you chose sound pretty. Your sons superhero theme sounds cute too!
This is the cot and change table/chest of draws we’re getting. All my other furniture has a scandi vibe so it’ll go well once we’re back in our own place. The chest of draws has a screw on frame for a change table that is front facing, so if sticks out over the draws rather than being on its side across the top if that makes sense. The cot converts into a toddler bed so if we don’t have another before that happens we can delay buying a bigger bed. They’re both “Love n Care” and I’m not sure if you can get them in the US!
wiseh - cute furniture!
loving-baby - have you checked online with Target? Or maybe another online retailer carries the same brand?

we are team green so keeping it neutral. We did an Africa trip two years ago and are kind of going to center it around the hub’s European mount from his hunt there.
Love the idea @laura_pdx of vintage national parks. That's the style of most of the artwork in our house!

We got the painting done a few weeks ago when H was working at home, we went mostly grey with a couple of navy walls, and we’re doing a stars/constellations theme.
Then my sister came to help me build the dresser last week (it’s that big 8 drawer one from Ikea that seems to be very popular for nurseries, too big for me the manage solo) and then I built the other pieces yesterday while H was out of town. The crib should be delivered next week, and then I have a bunch of decor stuff to order and put up, but it’s a start!
