Nursery Inspiration: Color

  If you ask Kevin, our blueberry swirl cheesecake that revealed we're having a little boy, means our baby nursery should be "Space Theme." When I asked him "Why space theme?" he responds "How else will we get all of the Star Wars stuff to fit in?"       ......ummm.....

  I've been peeking around at nursery inspiration online - I started a secret Pinterest board back in June! - and yes, now that we know gender, it changes things a little bit. I'm not much of a 'theme room' gal, and despite gender, I've been imagining something more gender-neutral from the get go. In case you didn't know, I'm not much of a pink girl myself, so pink walls for a little girl wasn't really on the possibilities list. Just saying.

  We have some existing furniture that we want to incorporate into baby's room and our goal is to ensure the space is cozy, warm, modern (not in a stark, cold way) and eclectic. We have collected some items and decor over time, that would be really fun to incorporate into the room, and none of them really fit into a theme or overarching color family, so... eclectic it is!

  I am liking the idea of doing an accent color wall: my fav idea so far = dark gray.

  I like how the dark gray walls really allow everything else to pop - feels light and airy even though its so dark! Hmmm....should prob get some little paint swatch samples before diving in...

More to come!
