Project: Nursery - Furniture

We aren't finished in the nursery, I still need to find curtains, a crib skirt and some other misc. things, but for now, we moved in the large furniture once the paint was dry and hubby mopped up the floor!

So, who can say they have a Wooden Rocking 'Cow'!? This comes courtesy of my mom and sister, Mallory! They found it at a yard sale and said since we already have real horses, a rocking horse just wouldn't do!

I love this piece :) My dad found it at an auction for us. It is an antique dresser.

And then, a view of the room from the other direction. You can see some of the crib, the rocker and my 'score of a changing table'! I say this because it is a Pottery Barn changing table that had to have cost at least $550+ brand new. I found it for sale on Craig's List for $100, offered $50 and the rest is history!

To Be Continued..... :)

Looking for inspiration....

I am trying to pick colors for our nursery. I am not an interior decorator. I hate making decisions about decorating! If I see something I am don't think right away "that's it", then I don't like it!

So, we have no 'theme' for our nursery! I just want to pick some colors and we'll go from there! I finally decided, or so I thought, I'd do some kind of sage-y green color and find a chocolate colored floor rug since the floor in the nursery is a wood floor. So, we went this evening to look at colors and I found something I really liked, which was no where close to a green!

We bought a sample, got it home, and put some on the wall. I am not sure how I feel about it now. I think it is awful close in color to what I have the hallway painted in. But, we'll see when I add on the second coat.

The trim in the room is white and we cannot really afford to replace it, though I really despise the white trim! So I am hoping to find a color that will look nice with the white trim, or find a color that I can mesh with the trim if I were to paint that as well.

I want something different than your usual nursery colors and I am not finding much inspriation as I look online. I like warm, earthy tones and bold, bright tones. I am not into cold and pastel tones.

So, help me! Give me your ideas for a nursery design or colors. Or send me the places you look when you need inspiration for decorating a room in your home. PLEASE!
