Nursery Inspiration
We began painting the nursery a few weeks ago and haven't managed to finish. I would seriously rather watch paint dry than actually paint. It's so tedious! I wanted to keep the color palette calming and not use any bright colors just because of personal taste. I thought about keeping it pretty gender neutral before I found out we're having a girl but once I knew I changed my mind and thought purple and gray would make an elegant and feminine choice. I'm not too thrilled with the paint color I chose but there is no changing my mind now. I went with a gray paint but once I put it on the wall it looked much darker and seemed somewhat blue. I have yet to choose fabrics and accents (or even get a crib!) so right now things look pretty bleak. I'm sure once it's all put together though it will be great.We have an itty bitty home and her room won't be nearly as fabulous as my inspiration but I will try my best... once I get off my butt! For the first few months she will definitely sleep in our room in a bassinet because I will admit I am going to be so cautious and paranoid and check on her constantly. I know it's not healthy but I tend to let my mind wander into scenarios that make me anxious and can turn me into a crackpot. I'm sure every mom or mom to be can relate to that feeling!

aaaah - we are so much alike.
I've attached a link to my nursery: http://theshannonjig.blogspot.com/2011/08/sneak-preview-nursery.html
We went with dark gray walls and until we started putting in all the furniture and fabric (and white DECAL), I thought it looked too dark and masculine. Now I'm so glad I went with the color.
I love the inspiration pics and I bet it will be adorable!
I absolutely loves those colors together! It will be so luxurious and elegant for your little girl!
I loveeee the purple and gray, beautiful! And I can't wait to meet the little bundle of joy :)
Beautiful ideas. I love them all!
