We painted our extra room/office blue before we knew we were expecting. When we found out we were going to have a baby, we decided not to find out the sex. We also knew we’d have to turn the office into a nursery and figured we’d leave the room blue and decorate with black and white to make it neutral. Our baby boy was born in April and the room suits him perfectly.

I'm a 29-year-old first time mom who is clueless about babies but is trying my hardest to give my newborn the best life possible. My husband, Todd, and I purchased our first home last year and although it was brand new, we've had a great time making it our own by painting and decorating. Neither of us know much about interior decorating, but have fun pretending we do :)

I think that even if Declan turned out to be Daisy or Danica, she’d still love this room! Congratulations on this room! It is simply lovely!

I love that row of animal paintings on top the mirror. Did you make that yourself?

I like the mobile too. In fact I like everything here! You should tell us where you got everything!!!

Thanks for the comments :)
This was my first time posting anything, so I was suprised to see the positive feedback. While my husband worked a second job, preparing for beebs to come, I spent a lot of time at home keeping myself busy with the nursery. I handmade the following: painted the animal “mugshots” above the closet and mini-nature inspired paintings by the door, I made the window valances with no-sew tape, made the crib skirt (again no-sew tape), assembled and painted the mobile (made from embroidery rings, fishing line and beads), painted/decorated the mirror frame for the changing area, and assembled the counting bird picture above the tv (made from pages of a Dwell Studio counting book – and the tv is for Gamma Peggy who stays at our house a few nights a week, not for Declan).

I love a few of your ideas for the nursery. I love the way you worked the T.V. wall with the rest of the theme of the nursery. The animal picstures above the closet mirrors ar nice. The mirror next to the babies crib is awesome. Great job guys!
