Decorating a nursery and choosing the color are exciting but honestly we have a lot of things to decide when it comes to create our baby room. There is a lot of theme and ideas over the internet and absolutely we had a hard time to get our own style. We simply thought just to create it simple, modern look and affordable.
The wall color is the first thing to create surrounding look. We definitely want something cozy, fresh atmosphere and bright color. We chose light blue or green at first but Robert changed his mind at last minute because he thought it was not bright enough. He chose orange. To me, orange is a great color.
We also thinking the color on the furnitures. Mix and match color with the orange wall was another difficult part. We tried imagining with different color to suit with the wall. We totally didn't think to have brown or black or white furniture. We finally decided to choose bright green. Orange and green combination look exciting for the baby.
We hunted around several baby stores to get the basic furniture such as crib, changing table, mattress and other stuff. We finally managed to buy those from Ikea. Unfortunately the crib colored green was sold out so we got the beech colored one and Robert painted them green.
Another thing a seriously comfy chair. I would be spending a lot of time in the chair for breast feeding. We looked for rocking chair and tried different kind of couch and chairs and we totally attracted to this kind of armchair with a comfort stool.
The accessories of the room are star night light, bed canopy, soft toy bear, dog, green rugs and green trash can.
We thought about simple drawing of tree and birds on the wall but I definitely can't do it on my own. To make our job easier we just stick the disney character stickers on the wall.
It was like our dream come true. We prepared the baby room two weeks before he arrives to the world. I hope our baby will love his room.
