I have finally wrapped my brain around designing a nursery. We are going with a beach theme. The beach is my absolute favorite place and I can design away without knowing if we are getting a boy or girl. I have narrowed paint colors down to two, one a little more green, the other blue. I am really excited about this and have been burning up Pinterest with ideas. Now I have to get out there and actually shop!! I went to a huge consignment sale and ended up almost in tears. That was definitely not my scene :-) It's a great place for bargains but you really need to know what you want before you go in there. I did come out with a floor mat and a Gamecock goodie bag, as well as an adorable USC outfit for my niece.
My next step is to hit up IKEA. The only piece of furniture we plan to buy is a crib. I have a dresser that belonged to my parents that I will repaint and use as a dresser and changing table. I also want an adirondak rocker. So my challenge there is to find one I like that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
If you've got any good ideas, please share! I'll add pics as we actually put my vision into reality.
And if you aren't on Pinterest, you should check it out. I have finally (almost) figured it out and have added a ton of ideas to my kid room board.
