Planning the nursery

I'm not going to lie, when I found out we were pregnant, decorating the nursery was probably one of the things I was most excited about (right behind the actual baby, of course). The secret interior designer that lives inside of me just could not wait to decorate a room from scratch, top to bottom. 

It was overwhelming at first, mainly because I had a hard time finding anything that I actually liked enough to build a room around. After searching and searching for a crib quilt, I finally asked myself why? Babies don't even use those dang quilts, at least not at first. So I threw out the idea of finding one and instead I just started pulling together things I liked. I went a little beach-y with it, because it just feels right for this time in our lives (we're hoping to buy a vacation home on the beach this year, more on that later). It's soft and feminine and uses pink, which is usually so not me ... but I just love it. I'm sure what we end up with in real life will vary a bit from this board, but the idea will be the same. I can't wait to see how it turns out, and will surely post updates.
