Nursery Inspiration

Now that we finally know we are having a baby girl, I can really start thinking about what to do with the baby's room.  I have been looking through Pinterest and found this for the color.



We will be painting the room with this light lavender color with, at least we'll try, the 3D tree.  That is if Park is able to make something like that.  I'm also looking into having some 3D white butterflies flying from the crib towards the window.  The room set up will be very similar to this picture. 

 

 

The butterfly wall art will look something like the picture above.  I am super excited about starting work on the baby's room.  We don't have that much time left so we better get to it!!

 

I'm obsessed with owls, so could not resist getting this!
