A Nursery for Baby E

When we found out we were expecting our first child we wanted to be surprised about the baby’s gender, but not about the design of the nursery. We knew we didn’t want frills or footballs, rather a place that was what we consider calming and relaxing – for our baby and for us. We picked gender neutral colors and fabrics, and after ‘she’ arrived added girl touches throughout the room. A good friend, Heather Safferstone, is a local designer and helped us pair down our ideas. She encouraged us to choose things for the room that would work as a nursery but also as our baby grew older and the uses of the room evolved.
