Want to get your hands on that wallpaper giraffe?
Now now, don't start thinking that I'm pregnant just because I'm doing a post on nurseries. I've got quite a few friends who are either pregnant right now or have just given birth and I thought I owed it to them to do a nursery post. I highly doubt that any of these friends need any inspiration on creating their baby's sanctuary, but I figured you can never have enough inspiration, right?

I'm so glad that we live in a time when parents-to-be don't have to strictly adhere to the blue-for-boys/pink-for-girls color scheme in a nursery. It's SO restricting. And there are SO many colors to choose from. That's not to say that I don't like pink and blue. I just think that with lavender, aquamarine, mustard yellow, fuchsia, and apple green, why limit yourself to the standard blue and pink? Of course, if that's what you like then by all means, don't let me rain on your parade.

I know there's probably a lot more fashionable nurseries out there, but the ones below are just the handful that I was able to stumble upon for now. There might be more in the near future...



Perfectly polished and smart.


How grown-up is this room? Can I have it? Love the piping on the armchair.


How cheery are the stripes on the ceiling?


The rug and the pendant lamp makes the room for me.


Yes, it's blue but so playful and airy.


Totally LOVE this nursery. Especially the paper mached zebra head.




Could we have expected anything less from Jenna Lyons, Creative Director of J.Crew?




White might not be the safest of colors when it comes to babies, but how tranquil does this room look?
