Simple, Soothing Nursery

Choosing Colors

Boy or girl, I decided early on that a cool blue was an easy option to work with -- and a relaxing shade to be surrounded by during 2 a.m. feedings.

Upon a trip to a going-out-of-business sale at a local fabric store, I found this whimsical toile-inspired pattern that would dictate the color scheme. Knowing it may not be there on a second visit; I purchased most of the fabric and was able to use it in multiple ways.
