Nursery Inspiration Boards

My best friend is due with her first baby in August.

She doesn't find out what she's having for another month

but that doesn't stop us from getting started on the

nursery design process.

She lives in this great little apartment outside San Francisco

and the baby's room has these floor to ceiling windows

which are amazing! Unfortunately it's a rental so paint

isn't really an option, so I decided to design with some bold

colors for the furniture and accessories so it livens up the space.

Here are the inspiration boards I designed for her:

Bright, fun, playful, and a little bit whimsy with the

owl details and the banner.

And for the boy:

I went with a natural and woodsy feel, but also a

bit of whimsy with the cardboard deer head.

The vinyl "forrest" is also a great alternative to paint.

Inspiration boards are a great way to put ideas together

before buying items for a space. If they don't look good

next to each other on the computer screen then they won't

work together in a room.

I can't wait to find out what she's having so

the shopping can begin!
