Leo’s Nautical Nursery

I love all the items in Leo's room, but if I had to choose I'd say the posters from Etsy and the wooden sign with Leo's name which is the focal point on the gallery wall.

Advice

Pin, bookmark and save anything you like during your pregnancy. Create one or more moodboards with possible nursery scenarios. Work slowly. When something comes together organically, it will look less staged. Be flexible in your choices; sometimes you may have an initial different idea, but what ends up happening might be much better. Keep in mind that babies grow out of things very quickly and their needs change so make sure the room is made to accommodate these changes.
