My Nursery Ideas

Soon after discovering that we were pregnant (At least two months ago!) I started wondering about nurseries, and supplies, and what we would do about those things. I don't intend to spend a lot of money, and I don't intend to devote an entire room to the nursery. Here are the ideas I had, and some inspiration boards to go with each!

First, (and probably least likely) is a low-contrast color scheme. It would be soft, and I love the neutral browns... but we'd be talking about trying to keep a white room clean, which I know I could never do.
Next is a high contrast room. This works well with a Victorian style. Despite the pinks, I think it would be possible to make a gender-neutral room, suitable for future babies.
After that, I really liked the pictures of unique, simple nurseries. Some of these could quite possibly be my favorites!
I was also inspired by the nurseries with deep browns. It's a nice change from the strictly pastel rooms.
Here are nurseries with a very home-made touch. I really liked the picture-covered walls, and the home-sewn curtains and blankets. There's also a vintage feel that gets the "Over in the Meadow" song stuck in my head.
And Last, there were some random pictures that I liked that didn't really fit into the other categories.
And of course, I have to keep in mind the limited space in our guest room and the furniture that's already there. I'll also have to wait on the crib that Tim will provide. I did have a lot of fun, though, organizing pictures I liked into ideas!

I know with your gifts it will be great. I do know babies notice contrasts so go with that.
