I just don’t have an eye for interior design.
When I got pregnant with my son I really wanted to do a super cute nursery for him.
I saw all these women online doing neat themes in their home and I got excited. I wanted to do a theme with matching colors. I wanted to have it look like a magazine too. I also wanted the space comfortable and with quality furniture. I realized that there are professionals for a reason. I contacted an interior design company and asked for assistance. I wanted something that had a modern look, classic but cute. I wanted the room to be very boy-like as well. The interior designer was really great about helping me choose colors and themes. We did a sailboat theme and used the blues of the water, the whites of the sail, and sand colors. The crib was white with those colors in alternating crib sheets. I got a rug, curtains, changing table, and toys that all matched the theme. Everything came together in a really nice finished outlook. The space looked just like a magazine. I liked that everything that was added was practical and of good quality. I hate when people put photos of boats on the wall in a nursery. What baby wants that? Instead it was a painted mural done by my mother and the rest of the stuff was actual things my son would use. Having an interior designer do a nursery is a game changer. You get practical and beautiful in a single space.
