The Hawks Nest: Nursery Planning

Planning the nursery is one of the things I am most excited to do! Initially, one of the reasons that I was nervous about waiting until the birth to find out the gender was because I wanted to plan the nursery accordingly. However, all the research I did for girls and boys rooms left me, well, rather unimpressed. I don't do pink walls. I don't do blue walls. I love pink, but only as an accent. I don't like the color blue, period. So, I tried to find "gender neutral." All I found was gray, yellow, more gray and, well, gray. Ugh. I also don't like gray. I do think it looks classic and chic, however, in my own house, it feels very drab and a bit depressing. So... favorite color is gold, and my house is done completely in shades of gold. Maybe I just do the nursery in gold and cream? While I loved that idea, Bryce wasn't completely sold. I get it, the babes room needs to be a little different. Enter, the all white room. White? Why didn't I think of it earlier? It actually took a picture of Molly Mesnick's nursery (while looking for a nursery glider) to get the wheels a turnin'.

Yes, it's partially gray, but mostly white. Love! It looks so fresh, and so clean! I did briefly flirt with the idea of using some gray because it does look sharp!

I love the glider! Although I'm not sure that I can convince Bryce to spend that sort of money on a glider for the nursery. Its the Empire glider by Nurseryworks, and it is b-e-a-utiful!

More white... But maybe a little too white. I love how airy and dreamy it feels, though!

Another beaut with a little more color to the wall paint.

And then, as luck would have it, my sister-in-law enlisted an interior decorator friend of hers and sent me this dream come true! It's the perfect balance of white with a touch of neutral colors.... And that Empire glider! My heart be still! For the rest of the pictures of this dreamboat nursery, check out
