As a Librarian, reading and children’s literacy are very important to me. I thought a reading themed nursery would be a great way to share my husband and I’s love of books with baby. I always wanted to design a fun, gender neutral nursery and I think the aqua, yellow and white color scheme achieved that goal.

Our friends and family threw us a reading themed shower where we received lots of books to build baby’s own library. We also received lots of knitted blankets and other special things from friends and family that helped us add small details to the room. The pennant banner is DIY project that I made from children’s book pages. The small rocking chair is a much loved piece from my childhood.
