Amelia and Colton’s Gender Neutral Nursery
We wanted to wait to find out the genders of our twins so a gender neutral nursery was a must.

Our obsession with geometric patterns and vibrant colors were our focal point in this nursery along with adding an arrangement of old and new. We were aiming for a calm, relaxing room that could be comfortable for this growing family, designating specific colors to each twin to reflect their gender but still using the same print of fabric to show they came as a pair!
We threw a birthday party for our three-year-old boy/girl twins at our home in June. We had food and drinks inside and a huge “castle” made out of cardboard boxes outside for the kids. The party was very casual and unstructured; people went in and out as they pleased, we opened presents at one point and then let all of the kids play with all of the toys, and we had a bunch of cupcakes (that people ate whenever they wanted) instead of a formal cake.
I knew I wanted to do a 1st birthday cake smash for my twins but it’s so expensive to hire a photographer, so I decided to do it myself. I created the set, we ordered the cakes from a local grocery store (one was even free as they offer a free smash cake with purchase of a cake for first birthdays), and my sister was kind enough to step in as photographer!
This aqua and gray striped nursery with white furniture and vintage daybed is all set up for twins. Colorful throw pillows and bedding in turquoise, lime, white, and a little pink (for Ivy), some original artwork, a mini-chandelier, and nature inspired mobile bring this nursery to life. This turned into a group project where different members of our family were able to use their special talents whether it was carpentry, painting, sewing , or art and design.
A bright and fun nursery for our boy/girl twins. :)
My boy + girl twins’ gender-neutral nursery! I REFUSED to do anything yellow or green…so we went with polka dots and pops of color.
