I let you all in on the plans for the nursery (click here to see that post). It has to be gender neutral since we didn’t find out if we are having a little boy or a little girl. I’m not really a fan of my kid’s room looking like it threw up Disney in there or turn the room into a safari or underwater fantasy. I’ve seen some done with those themes tastefully, I don’t trust myself to do it. I’m boring. We’re sticking with shades of white (white, cream, ivory), distressed woods, and a pop of metallic here and there.
Here’s the inspiration board I made (sorry if you’ve seen it 6 million times already):
I’ll have to switch out the large chair for the recliner we just bought. I’m debating the rug now. It’s a little girlie. I love it for a girl’s room, but I’m questioning it for a boy.
Here are the options I’ve narrowed it down to…
A) Restoration Hardware’s etched trellis rug (the one from inspiration board)
B) Ballard Design’s grove rug
C) Ballard Design’s granada rug in brown
D) Ballard Design’s le poeme rug
E) Overstock’s ivory shag rug
F) Overstock’s luna marrakesh trellis rug
G) Overstock’s dandelion rug
I’m so overwhelmed. I want something that will brighten up the room, so ivory/natural is the route I’m taking. There are a thousand rugs I like! Please help! I need someone to push me in one direction. I’m stuck.
Love A & D and like F
Nice to see you doing so well and are so very happy
Hugs L.
Min I love the le poem rug, also the dandelion rug!
I’m leaning toward the Le Poeme also
I like the Shag rug best – the soft fluffy pile of material under your feet, or for the baby to tumble about on later on! I also think its simplicity would make the rest of the room easier to accessorise, especially if you want to redecorate down the line.
I liked the Granada but now that I think about it…What will grow best with your baby? Will some of them fit into a toddler’s room? This nursery decorating stuff is stressful. 😛 I honestly love all of your choices though so I don’t think you can go wrong!
I know the room will change as the baby grows up. I also know that I have decor ADD. I’m thinking in a couple of years, the neutral rug will migrate into our living room or bedroom and baby will get a new one that will look good with a more boyish or girlish room.
A or C, if they don’t work they’ll look realy nice in the dining room!!
I LOVE the dandelion rug the best and the poem rug second. Your nursery is going to look amazing. 🙂
