Oh Baby!

Friday morning I shot a baby nursery with Marcia Prentice, for her featured nursery tour on Ohdeedoh (Apartment Therapy’s site dedicated all to baby + kids.) The full tour will be on the site soon.

One thing I have noticed while diving deeper into adoption is that couples decorate the nursery for the home study.  This means decorating may be coming much sooner than I had planned on.  My issue with this is I have a hard time picturing a ‘neutral’ room.  I see color, lots of it, but it is always geared towards either a baby girl or baby boy!  

I know I don’t have to decorate and truthfully, I likely won’t, not fully.  I just feel we are not close to that part of our journey yet.  We are still holding out hope that this upcoming IVF/trial cycle will work in our favor and result in me carrying our child.  In the meantime…I keep looking ;)

Madras Room: If I had a beach house or lived at the beach, you better believe this would be the room for my baby boy!

image

Max & Harper: I love the contrast of the dark and light.  It just comes across as fresh and crisp. 

image

Sweet Penelope:  I love the pink and green combo.  I also wish our future nursery had the room and large windows this room offers!

image

Octopus Sprinkler:  Ummmm….need I say anything more?  The only thing that would make this better is if it was on sale.  Oh wait, IT IS!!!

ABC Blocks:  These wooden blocks just bring me back to when I was growing up.  Wooden toys have character and last more than a day.

Liv and Jeff's adorable nursery for baby Elsa!

Last time I visited Liv and Jeff, was for their house tour shoot back in January 2011. Liv was merely a couple months pregnant and they had yet to convert Jeff’s office into their new baby nursery. 

Full nursery tour coming to Apartment Therapy on Friday!
