Dear Baby Mac,
I went nursery shopping with my friend Lori today. I’ve decided that going into a baby boutique the first time you are pregnant is similar to seeing a mythical creature. It’s an amazing experience. Everything was so teeny, soft, and perfectly wonderful. I wanted to buy it all and bring it home for you. But, if I had done that, it wouldn’t all match, so I started thinking up possible designs for your room.
There are lots of different decor options that are popular right now. And different rules of thought. Some believe a nursery should be bright and stimulating to the baby. Others believe it should be soft and calming. Others go the organic route. And others just want to be on trend. Some of the trends we saw were metallic gold, tribal, rustic, neutral colors, soft colors, bold graphics, vintage, and French-inspired.
So, basically, anything goes.
I’m also currently obsessing over a rose-gold chandelier. Your father would die if he saw what it cost, but if they can get it in a smaller—and cheaper—size, I might have to have it.
I also saw a photo of a room that had teeny twinkle lights in the ceiling, similar to what they sometimes do in movie rooms. Considering your dad and I love to look at the stars, it seems perfect. Now, I have to find the perfect everything to go with it. I’m leaning toward calming colors.
Do you think you’d like that?
