Wallpaper

My head has been spinning since we learned last week that we are having a girl. I'm already losing sleep at night, thinking about what we're going to name her, and what is labor going to be like, and what kind of stroller should we buy?

And then I have an aunt, one of those ladies who quilts and crochets with her eyes closed, and she wants to know how we're going to decorate the nursery because she wants to start crafting. And I'm like, it took me three years to decide where I wanted to hang that mirror, and now I ONLY HAVE TWENTY WEEKS TO DECORATE THE NURSERY? And you want me to decide on a color scheme THIS WEEK?

The nursery is on the top of my to-do list. I have some ideas, and I think I know which colors I'd like to decorate with (light blue, red, turquoise and orange) but first I need to choose a wallpaper. We're I'm still planning to paper one wall, and I'm trying to find a design that incorporates and/or complements the colors I like. I've spent approximately 128 hours searching online, and I've ordered a few samples.

I'd say this paper from Hygge & West is at the top of the list right now. The colors are perfect, and I love the whimsical pattern.

I really like this one from ferm LIVING, but I wish the color was blue, and not gold.

I ordered a sample of this one from Graham and Brown. This one might have too much green for my liking.

I also ordered a sample of this one. I have this crazy idea that perhaps I could paint the flowers, a color of my choice. Is that totally crazy?

I like #2, but #1 is cute, too. :)

#1 is my fav, but I don't like gold, so I agree - #2 would be cuter in blue. #4...cool...but do you want the stress? Have fun - I'm sure you'll love whatever you end up picking!

I love the idea of painting the flowers! All your choices are beautiful though!

Painting the flowers is such a neat idea! You could go in the nursery and paint a flower anytime all the baby planning thoughts are overwhelming you! #1 is beautiful too!

I love #1! I think it would go perfectly with your color scheme.

Definitely like #1. It reminds me of the birds in Cinderella... where they're whistling and piecing together her dress. Know what I'm talking about? She's going to be beautiful! Can't wait to see her perfect little face!

I love #1 as well! But I like your other choices too and I think you could paint those flowers you posted! You're so crafty!

I'm also doing a whimsical theme but more so with butterflies and of course, lots of pink! It'll be fun to see how both of our nurseries come out! You always make me smile! Thank you for that :)
