Geeky Nursery Inspiration
By: TCO
As I previously mentioned, my husband and I are expecting a youngster in December. We’re currently working on the baby room, and, perhaps not surprisingly, the toughest part has been picking out the proper decor (perhaps second in toughness only to picking a name).
Shopping online and in baby stores, everything is very…”baby.” By that I mean, the decor items are everything you would expect when you picture a nursery. Pastels. Animals. The alphabet. Maybe some happy inanimate objects (everything has a smile). That’s fine and dandy for some people, but I don’t get this. I personally am not a fan of pastels. And the animated critters with huge smiles kinda creep me out. And when you think about it, the baby has no idea what’s around the room, so really, you should be creating a baby-friendly space that you enjoy. So that’s what I’ve set out to do. Personally, I’ve decided to go for a vintage sci-fi look, but along the way, I’ve found some other fabulous ideas that would make for excellent nursery alternatives to the happy-giraffe and jungle friends room.
