I’m a planner, so I think it surprised people that I didn’t want to find out the gender of our baby before he was born. I’d always known I wanted the nursery to be neutral (if we have more children, it will be shared because we live in a small house), so I didn’t need to know the gender in planning the nursery. I choose a neutral color palette and furniture that would grow with our child. I also let practical elements, like toys, books, and a magnet board become part of the design of the room since the space is rather small (with low ceilings too!).

Your nursery is just beautiful! I love everything about it! May I ask what paint color/brand you used on the walls?
Eskimoto
Where did you get that table lamp? (the one near the giraffe)
Did you use that lamp as a nightlight?

Kristen,
Kristen, I remember the color is Dolphin Fin, and I know it was from Home Depot. I’ll have to check on the brand name.

Eskimoto,
Oops, forgot to mention the lamp! The lamp is IKEA as well. I chose it because it is plastic and wood, i.e. fairly unbreakable if it were to tumble down. We do use a low-watt bulb and turn it on in the middle of the night for feedings and diaper changes, sort of as a night light.

jenniferalexis,
I love garland! This garland is made from felt, and obviously we will remove it once our baby boy is able to move around in his crib. :)
