Nursery Inspiration

Although we currently live in a one-bedroom apartment, our lease is up just a month or two after our little guy is supposed to be here, so we will be moving to a two-bedroom. I guess that just gives me more time to plan out a nursery! Here are some of my Pinterest favorites:

I just love the mobile on this one. I am not a huge fan of the crib on wheels (maybe this is a bassinet?), but I like the light and dark and neutral colors with pops of green and yellow.

I LOVE the idea of displaying books like this in a child's room. I think it is a little more fun for them than the usual bookcase and it would be so fun to pick out books at bedtime! :)

I am a really big fan of the rustic feel of this one. The rug reminds me of the pallet projects I see everywhere nowadays, but I love how warm the whole room feels. 

This corner is so cute! I love this style of glider- we even registered for an over-sized version that will be great as the baby gets older (and takes up more room). The collection of frames and the bookcase make this corner seem fun, while the light colors make it look a little less cluttered. 

I'm not normally a huge fan of themes, but I just can't get enough of this world-traveler theme! I don't like the pirate all that much, but I love the planes and the map, and I would put a little globe on a bookcase and fill the bookcase with books of travel and adventure. :)

What are some of your favorite nursery ideas? Do you have any advice for me on nursery planning? Are there some things in your nursery you just can't live without? Tell me!

Gender Reveal Party Pin-spiration

So Chris and I have decided that we want to do a gender reveal party! After talking to some of the people in my family, this is apparently a new-fangled idea that only my generation has embraced. I love this idea! I think it is an awesome way to share your news while also getting together with close family and friends. With that said, it's one more thing to add to a long list of to-dos and it does require planning. Being a procrastinator at heart, my plans do not always get actualized. However, I am really trying not to let that happen this time. You should know, though, that this party is two weeks from Saturday, and this is pretty much what I've got, haha.

Reveal Ideas

The one on the left is something I just recently found. We saw the silly string one a while ago, but we both instantly liked it. We are having our gender reveal outside, since it will be August, so we wouldn't really have to worry about too much of a mess. The one on the right is something that I automatically dismissed at first, but since we are having the party outside, it might be really fun to see the balloons drift off into the sky. We may also do a combination of these.

Decor Ideas

As you may have noticed, I apparently have a pretty specific idea for decor. I just love how adorable those old-fashioned style banners are! I don't want anything about this baby to be cookie-cutter (who does?!), but it is so hard to think of original ideas these days! I think there comes a point where nearly everything has just already been thought of. I am just a big fan of the old-timey feel that this style lends to any sort of get-together.

What do you think?

I found all of these on Pinterest, and I'm sure they are super easy for anyone to dig up. If you are curious what other things I may have pinned regarding baby, click on the banner at the right of the page that says "Pinterest" and give me a follow!
