I posted a sneak peek of some fabrics I'm considering on Instagram today (@alizadventures) but the hunt is not yet over. I want this room for our little mamacita to be pretty and feminine, but also sophisticated and not very "babyish."
I've always had a good experience ordering fabric from fabric.com, plus you can go through Ebates -- big plus there. They currently offer 4% back on your purchase. That can really add up! Plus, fabric.com has a "design wall" that you can virtually add fabric swatches too to see how they pair up together. How easy. Not a sponsored opinion at all, by the way -- just my own personal experience!
One option that I'm really liking is this one:
There are also some great emerald green fabrics out there, too, that I can use for accents.
I will also be incorporating a good dose of black and white in the nursery, because -- well, babies' eyes love black and white! Rather than a stark white, the combo I'm looking for is a little more of a black/off white. Nothing too ecru or ivory though. Can you tell I have a definite vision?
Once I have the fabrics finalized, we will be painting the room and adding in all of the fun baby items we have accumulated or have our eyes on. The crib will be ordered today and I'm picking up some new lighting for the room this afternoon as well.
Here's another photo I found online of a similar color scheme that I'm going for.
I'm just slightly giddy over this color combination!
Phew -- progress feels good.
So there's a little idea of the direction we will be taking the nursery in. If you have any ideas for the room, I'd love to hear them!
I love it!! I just know it's going to look amazing when you're done with it!
ReplyDeleteLove the Emerald green fabrics for an accent pillow!! The whole nursery will look so fabulous!

ReplyDeleteAlso, we've really enjoyed our TV in Shelby's. NOt so much now, but when we were doing all the feedings. We even got full house DVR so I could watch my shows up there! LOL

ReplyDeleteI love this color combination, especially the gold mixed with green/peach! The idea that you want to make this a room your baby can grow into and not have to change around every few years is so smart! I look forward to seeing the finished product :-)

ReplyDeleteLOVE the color scheme!! It's going to be darling. Can't wait to see it all come together!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 suggestions:
1) Buy a fabulous glider. This one has saved me over the last 5 years. I've slept many a nights in it with a baby on my chest :)

2) Don't buy an actual changing table. We bought a chest of drawers and put the changing pad and a basket of necessities on top of it and it worked great. Plus, then you've got a piece of furniture that you can actually use after the baby stage.
That's my 2 cents..... for what it's worth :)
Ahh these colors are beautiful!! The nursery is going to look amazing when it is done, cannot wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I love it! The small Instagram pic didn't do that one fabric justice! This will be one chic nursery...also love the light fixture in that inspiration photo!

ReplyDeleteLove your color scheme!! That is going to be one beautiful nursery! Can't wait to see it all come together!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! I am absolutely in love with that color palette! Can't wait to see it all come together!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this color pallet. I am planning my daughter's first birthday and the color scheme I am going for is Coral, Mint and Gold and I am loving it so much I wish I could re-do her room!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the reveal - its always such a fun part of the process!
