Simple Chic Secret Passage

Description

We had so much fun designing a simple, modern, gender neutral nursery. With a gray foundation to work  from, we knew it would look great with any blue or pink accents that might come our way after baby was born.  Today, we have a beautiful two-month old girl who loves the bright and cheerful room whether she is getting her diaper changed or sitting in the rocking chair listening to her favorite stories.

Design Inspiration

Our inspiration was chevron patterns and giraffes.

Decorating Style

Contemporary, neutral

Advice

We used a bulletin board and pinned our favorite items to it as we came across them (from patterns to paint colors to furniture to inspirational sayings, frames, stuffed animals, etc.).  When we felt we had enough we went though and selected the main inspiration and all the items that would accent and incorporate the main inspiration (in our case the chevron bedding and giraffes).  I think this is a great way to bring your dream nursery to life.
