Baby Stone's nursery inspiration

I started planning our sweet nursery the moment we found out I was pregnant. I started out planning a gender neutral nursery filled with woodland scenes and forest creatures because I wanted to be able to get a start on it right away and not have to wait 20 weeks until we found out if we were having a boy or girl. I have had the urge/need to nest this entire time, but my husband has definitely not shared my feelings. With that being said, I was highly encouraged to wait to make any major purchases or decisions until further along in my pregnancy. This gave me TONS of time to get a game plan together and strategically plan and pin my dreams for a pink nursery and my dreams for a blue nursery. 

When we found out we were having a sweet boy my mind went crazy! Did we want something manly? Something boyish? Something babyish?? ( And by "we", I mean "I", because let's be honest I had already put in a work week worth of hours pinning and planning. My poor husband didn't stand a chance, luckily he was good with my decisions.) 

I decided that this was my only chance to have a soft, sweet, retreat for me and our boy and that we would have plenty of time to create a bright bold atmosphere surrounded by animals and cars. Mint, navy, cream, and gray quickly became the color palette for Baby Stone's nursery. I absolutely love these colors together! 




This nursery and artwork are my main inspiration for his nursery. I have made 3 of the embroidery hoop pieces and I can't get over how cute they are! The one above is one I found online and quickly realized I could make them for much cheaper, especially since I already had the materials! All of this will be reveled when his nursery in finally complete. 


These two nurseries came in close seconds for inspiration. They have the same soft feeling I was looking for and I love the natural elements incorporated in them. I will definitely be looking for ways to add this to Baby Stone's nursery!
