It's A GIRL!!!

So the news is finally in, after 20 weeks of wondering the ultrasound proved what I always knew to be right ;-) that we are in fact designing this nursery for a little princess!! As visions of pink, crystals, and pouf danced through my brain I was brought back to earth after talking shop with my friend. Her and her hubby have decided that they want to keep the nursery "gender neutral" for future little munchkins. So after only a few tears on my part I began to deliberate ideas. Yellow and green immediately come to mind when one thinks of a non-gender specific nursery and so I thought that as a color theme would work. I came up with a fabulous concept for a feature wall that would incorporate boxes of color but was really bored with the idea. I wanted a theme to work from, something that really wows a visitor to the room. So that is how "the Enchanted Forest" came into being. For this little sweetheart I am basing the room on fairies, flowers, and princesses that live in trees. However, if the parents have a little boy next, the room can easily morph into a more Peter Pan tree house appropriateness.
The paint colors for the room will stay neutral and maybe even a little generic for a forest theme. Green on the walls and blue on the ceiling. I am gonna hold out for no clouds though, I feel like clouds on the ceiling are a bit overdone. However, the showstopper of the room will be the tree that is going to appear to be growing out of the corner of the space. I plan to place the rocking chair beneath this and adorn the tree with little white lights to serve as both nightlight and pseudo-mobile when mommy is rocking the little one.
So this is the overall idea. As I take my plan into action I will be narrowing down some fabric choices for the crib and curtains. Coming up with some more ideas to incorporate the theme into the room and also thinking functionality. Did I mention I have never been to the house or even seen pictures of the room yet?! This project is definitely unconventional but so very exciting!
