Making plans

Since we're now less than two weeks away from finding out whether we're having a boy or a girl, we are getting very antsy about wanting to buy stuff. We had decided not to buy anything until we found out the baby's sex since everything is so specific to boy or girl anyway. But, just because we can't buy anything doesn't mean I can't plan for when the time comes. I spent quite a bit of time this morning putting together idea boards for a boy nursery and a girl nursery.

First up, the girl nursery:



Sorry, I know it's small and I don't know how to make it bigger. But, I'll give you some of the details. The bedding is Island Surf bedding from Pottery Barn Kids. I would like to paint the walls yellow and then do the pink and blue stripes all the way around. I'd also like to do a vinyl cling that says, "surfer girl my little surfer girl" in white script above the crib. The crib and dresser are the Babi Italia Eastside Lifestyle collection in white. The other stuff is from assorted sources like Target, Pottery Barn Kids, and Etsy.

Next up is the boy nursery:



Again, sorry that it is hard to see. The bedding this time is Pirate Cove by Cotton Tale. The treasure map in the upper corner is actually a 6'x8' mural that would go on the wall behind the baby's bed. The crib and dresser are again Babi Italia Eastside Lifestyle collection but the color is Cinnamon. The wall color would be tan. And again, the rest of the accessories are from Target, PBK, and Etsy. I think there is a little more opportunity to have fun with the pirate theme because there are so many cute pirate things out there. I found a bunch of signs for the walls that I liked but settled on a baby friendly, "Pirates Only, all other will walk the plank".

So, those are our ideas so far. Now that I've actually picked what I like I'm ready to get started. I'm really glad I took the time to make the idea boards so I can see everything side by side. I had been switching back and forth between websites looking at all the different pieces. I just hope that when we actually get all the stuff together that it still looks as cute. I guess its just a waiting game now.

OH! P.S. I just figured out that if you double click on the pictures you can view them bigger!!
