Nursery-- getting started (8/5)

Well, we are going with Lavender and Sage as our nursery colors. My vision for the walls is lavender paint on top, chair rail in the middle (white) and then sage and green stripes on the bottom. We wanted Sage as an accent, so we can reuse a ton of the green items for a boy or girl the next few times around!


I've found 2 bedding sets I'm partial to, and purchased them both. Now I need to just make a decision-- Dave loves them both too- so he's leaving it in my hands. So hoping to decide today.

We bought a glider yesterday- so exciting. We got it in Mint Green- so it will be able to be reused with Kid 2 and Kid 3. It's big, but everyone has told us that getting a good glider is worth it- so we went for comfy!



Also found some awesome sage and white striped curtains. Not sure if it will be too much - but oh so cute! I'll just have to wait until we've painted to see if it looks good or not!


Mom and (anyone else who is bored this Friday is welcome) I are painting the nursery Friday. So once I can figure out the the bedding, I'm going to take it to JC Licht for a color match.


So- all that we need to do now really is figure out which of the 2 crib sets we have narrowed it down to, is the one we want. One is white, One is espresso. Both have ups and downs- so hard. White is painted wood, so it's very easy to chip. White will go with the nursery b/c of white trim and the white incorporated into the room. White won't show bite marks as much as it's painted over a lighter colored wood. Espresso makes the bedding just pop! It really creates more of a dramatic look, and will be able to be used as the babies get older. White tends to be more "childish". Espresso is going to show any scratches/marks more easily than white, and is going to need to be constantly dusted. Ugh. Such a decision- very tough one!!!


Anyhoo- once I make some choices, I'll take a few photos and post up here!
