on the exhale.

To be quite honest I am very relieved that a nursery is not on the brain right now, they are not a favorite room of mine. Not to mention it is reassurance that babe/s will not be coming home with me anytime soon (knocking on wood). For those of you who enjoy decor you know that a nursery is a difficult room, that is if your not that person who blindly walks in a store and grabs the 5 piece set and calls it a day (gross!). Don't get me wrong there is some great crib sets out there, but let me just warn you, you will drop $400 bones, and remember small babies, and toddlers, have weird liquids flowing from both ends. Make sure its machine washable.

Now, this room, however...majestic, purple, and super nursery is OK. But, white chair, rug, crib...can we say hello to stains and extra washing for the tired mommy. No thank you. Not to mention the more I look at these wall stickers the more I feel like I have been trapped in some creepy princess storybook.

Once again, way too theme-y. You must remember when having a baby comes unexpected gifts, and people love to give nick-knacks (gross!) Its only polite to display..only for a short while. And this designer hasn't read up on babes and the fact that they respond to black and white first and foremost, can we say over stimulated? Mommies don't you want to sleep? Choose a black and white rug, or throw blanket.

Lay baby Lay, a blog in which I adore, has the best nursery designs ever! I absolute LOVE her Vivi's room, and just about all of her style boards for her other nursery designs. If you are a mommy to be I strongly suggest you check her ideas. She is creative, stylish, and plans the room around the baby with growing room and cohesive intentions for the rest of the house. Enjoy.
