Baby G's Nursery

It's been forever since I last posted...almost 2 months.  We've been crazy busy finalizing things around the house and getting ready for the baby.  I hope to share more pics of the house soon, but for now I'm going to focus this post on the nursery.

We're really quite proud of this endeavor.  We designed the majority of it, with the exception of the actual room choice, wall color and placement of crib.  That credit goes to our amazing designer, Julie, from Shaping Your Space.

So here goes...

We don't really have a true theme to the nursery, but I'd guess if we had to pick something  it would be "travel-ish".  Totally in love with all the random prints we chose, especially the "city prints".  They represent two of our favorite places (NYC & Paris) and one that Chad enjoys but I've never been to (London).

So Baby G has the largest bedroom in the house.  LOL!  We thought about putting him in a smaller room until our designer talked us into using this room.  Since it's such a decent size, we plan to use it for his playroom also...and we can be right next door in the office to keep an eye on things.  :)

We chose to tuck the crib in the corner under the dormer, which makes the perfect place to hang his mobile.  Chad chose the mobile - airplanes - to fit with our travel theme.  Chad's grandfather was an Air Force test pilot back in the day.  I hope Baby G is able to hear some of his super cool stories some day!!

In viewing nurseries on blogs & Pinterest, the book wall seems to be a current trend.  Not only does it become wall decor, but it allows the child to go and select a book that they wish to read (once they're a bit older, of course).  We're excited to see what books Baby G chooses as his faves.

Loving how these bookshelves are so versatile.  I'm quite sure that they'll be rearranged a million times!

Baby G will be arriving very soon.  Hope you enjoyed the nursery tour!
