my future kid's room

Look how cute this baby / kid room is! Love the natural manzanita branch with origami mobile hanging from it. I love the funny monster paintings on the door too. I am so going to do this one day for my little munchkin! {from Lynn Bloomer via Emmas Designblogg}

our potential future nusery

So now that the home office office "upgrade" has happened and I've allowed myself to enjoy it for 2 weeks, I have gotten anxious to begin the nursery room project. Honestly I don't know what I'll do when that is all done because that leaves me with no more home decor projects! However I suppose I'll be busy with our new little project which won't leave much time for home decor anyways!

Sooo...this is what we've come up with so far!

The inspiration is a combination of these two pictures I posted awhile ago. We have a yellow couch already in that room that we want to keep. The rest of the decor will be light blue, red and white.

This is the paint colour we like. It is Pottery Barn Kids Benjamin Moore line in the colour Harbour Fog.

This the furniture I think we are going to get. Cheapy cheap from IKEA but we totally love the modern, simple lines! Score!

I really like this red circle rug...looks like a cuddly play space on a hardwood floor.

For the wall, I bought these three Alef Betty prints from alefbetty.com and I will hang them above the yellow couch. And you do know how much we love our sock monkeys so I'm framing some pictures of these sock monkey portraits that I have from my Arne Svenson & Ron Warren Sock Monkey Calendar and putting them up over the crib!

modern nurseries

Guess you know where our minds are lately! I've been searching for inspiration for our future nursery and found these nifty modern designs. Glad people are straying away from typical pastels and frills.

I'm really loving all the furniture in these pics. And kind of taken with the red, blue and white nautical room. I would be tempted to add some pale yellow accents in there to make it a version of primary colours and not necessarily nautical. But it looks so fresh and crisp! All of these pics found via Bell Blog

I've actually had this picture in my back pocket for awhile now. I found it when I was researching the red and yellow for my living room and thought it would make a good nursery one day - didn't realize that day was so soon! This is why I thought of adding the pale yellow into the nautical room above. I love how it isn't quite primary colours but a muted version of them. I can't remember where I found this picture but I sure do love it and so far it is number one on my inspiration list now followed closely by the newly found nautical pic!

I'm not usually a fan of red, black and white but there is something about this that I could see working. I might be tempted to throw in some yellow since I have a new obsession with red and yellow. I guess it's safe to say some form of yellow will be in the nursery! Found via Dutch Boy

I really like the top picture although it is way more elaborate than I plan to get! But I like the colour scheme and the hanging lamp that we have in our Bloomer inventory already! And I like the stripey circle rug in the bottom pic. Both found via Better Homes and Gardens
