Description
I knew I was having a boy but didn't want a masculine or cutesy nursery. I started with a color palette instead. It was a labor of love and the hardest part was picking out art for the room. I actually still have some white frames to put up on both sides of the window with some newborn portraits.
Design Inspiration
I created the nusery around blue (teal) and orange instead of a theme like safari or trucks. I spent a lot of time on Project Nursery and Pinterest.
Decorating Style
I have a hard time describing my style. It is mostly eclectic traditional I guess.

Pinterest is a God send! Also get crafty and check out discount places like Ross, TJMaxx, Marshalls and of course Craigslist, thrift stores, and garage sales!
yeah, the bracelet definitely added something with sentimental value. My baby’s bracelet is on a scrapbook page :)
Love the hospital bracelet. I have my baby’s bracelet framed, too, only I laid it flat and not in a loop so it’s easier to read.
