Sophisticated boy nursery

Love this little nursery I found on littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com. What a cute nursery and especially cute crib.  With my style I love ornate and over the top cribs and bedding, but I love this Sparrow Crib and it's basic and clean lines and bluish gray color.  Centering the crib between the two windows gives the wall a focal point with these beautiful pictures.  

  This Madeline Weinrib rug really gives great texture.  If you don't have a lot of pattern throughout the room but somehow want to bring it in, a patterned rug does the trick.  I like how they chose a large pattern to put on the ground.  Excellent decor as well, there definitely is a travel theme going from the map, suitcase like dresser, and cute airplane which I know this baby will love! I wish it was my size to play around in.

Usually in a room I will choose either gold or silver accents to contribute throughout a room.  In my house, you will see a lot of silver and I love seeing accents of gold which I need to use more.  This nursery uses lighter fabrics against the dark brown flooring and the pops of gold help give some shine and color.

4 tips to decorate your perfect nursery

I've been thinking about some steps to decorate your dream nursery and today I stumbled on this awesome graphic I found from Mural Max Interiors.  I love this image and the steps that you can take to decorate:

1) Pick your theme
Think about what theme you want in the baby nursery.  There are so many cute ideas from princess nurseries, jungle, sports, ballerina, nautical and more.  If you want to stay away from those kinds of themes, maybe you can think of a theme color you want to see in the room, or maybe something inspirational whether it be a cute pillow, pattern, or toy. 
Also think of how you want your nursery to look.  Do you want to see something more modern, or maybe chic and classy, or do you want to have something traditional or gender neutral to use for all of your children to come? It's up to you, decide which direction and go to step 2.
(If you don't have your nursery furniture picked out, this would be the time to choose)

2) Pick your crib bedding
Next, you'll want to pick the crib bedding for your little one. Keep in mind the 'theme' you chose for step 2, it doesn't mean you necessarily need to match the exact color or if you chose a theme like sports, you don't need to have the bed sheets, bumpers, pillows etc have sports all over. 

3) Pick your colors
Especially after you find your cute sheets, you will be able to develop more sense of the direction you want to go with designing your nursery.  I would pull the main colors from the bedding (since you picked that out and loved it) and create at least 2-4 colors you should carry throughout the room. 

4) Have fun with accessories
With the theme, bedding, colors in mind, find some cute accessories to put on the walls.  You can find cute pictures, rugs, curtains, and more!
Thanks Max Mural Interiors for your inspiration.

Affordable Crib Bedding at Oopsie Daisy

Looking for crib bedding with high quality and discount prices? You can find popular bedding brands for an affordable price at the Oopsie Daisy store in Utah. I love their brand name bedding, especially Caden Lane and Cocalo, and the prices can be up to a $100 savings from what I find at other stores.  That's a steal!

Here is the Caden Lane Boutique Bedding Asher.  Right now I'm in love with using chevron in baby nurseries and this blue, yellow, and grey pattern is perfect! 

  I love how elegant this pink and cream nursery is! This Cocalo Daniella Bedding comes with 8 pieces to fill your nursery and make it match.  It comes with a quilt, sheet, dust ruffle, diaper stacker, window valance, and 3-piece fabric wall hanging.  This set is perfect to create a new room for your baby girl and makes it nice and easy.

 

This nursery is definitely my style.  I love the white walls and bookshelves and wainscoting, and the blue that stands out but is nicely distributed throughout the room.  This baby boy bedding would look amazing in a nautical themed room. (This is the Cocalo Harper Bedding at Oopsie Daisy).  

 

Check out this sports nursery! Sports nurseries are perfect for your all-star baby boy and there are so many cool ways you can incorporate a sports theme throughout the room.  You can find sports bedding, mobiles, hamper, pillows, diaper stacker, rug, wall art, lamps, curtains, and wall paper.  Choose your favorite sports nursery items and implement them in the room.

If you love chic and vintage, the Caden Londyn Crib Bedding is a perfect bedding for your baby girl.  I love all of the detail from the different patterns of bumpers, mattress cover, and skirt which all come in this bundle.  

If you look close you can see the pink zebra print! I love it.

I love the three main colors that were used in this room: orange, blue, and yellow. The colors for this Cocalo Surie bedding look amazing! The large and small patterns are well distributed and I like how they are used in the crib bedding.

I love brand name products but don't always love the prices that are on the box, I'm glad that Oopsie Daisy's bedding has lower prices for the exact products you are looking for. 

DIY baby V-neck

Here are instructions how to make a regular onesie into a V-neck for your baby boy or girl.  Here are 3 easy steps

1. Find the very center of your onesie neckline.  Mark your spot and cut a small slit in the neckline.  

PS. Don't cut all of the way through the neckline, I cut about half or 3/4 of the way.

2. Fold over the right cut edge over the left. Pin the right V-neck angle

3. SEW! Hand sew the V

Then you are done!!!!  You have your cute baby V-neck onesie.  Perfect baby shower gift as well,

 And there you go! 3 easy steps to make your V-neck baby onesie
