7. Personalize It
Personalized Girls Alphabet Wall Art (Red Envelope)
One of the simplest, and most fun ways to create a unique nursery is to add an item with your baby’s name, initials or monogram. In this day and age, you can personalize almost anything – including, but not limited to pillows, rugs, quilts/blankets, wall decals, prints and bedding.
These are some of the sites I checked out while creating my nursery, while I searched for a personalized wall hanging.
- redenvelope.com
- potterybarnkids.com
- etsy.com (of course!)
- rosenberryrooms.com
One tip – for artisanal sites like Etsy, if you don’t see exactly what you are looking for in terms of size, design, font or color, email the seller and ask them if they can do a custom order. More often than not, they’ll be able to accommodate you and create exactly what you’re looking for – just for you. I ultimately settled on a wall decal with my son’s name, in a custom color and font (Yellow Submarine, of course!).
Color knows no gender, Kelly. Ok, fine, I would have a hard time putting a boy in pink. I’m so brainwashed by SOCIETY.
I think boys and men look amazing in a crisp, pale pink button down shirt! But I probably wouldn’t paint a boy’s room pink.
