I never changed my mind, I had it planned forever! I did add to it though.

I've always been a pig lover and have tons of pigs, so I knew no matter what we'd go with that. Pink pigs for girl, primary colored pigs for a boy. We had a girl. And since we named her Rose, we added flowers to the mix.

For our next baby (we still have a couple of years) we're going team green, and I'm not allowed to do pigs again so it's going to be a lot harder to figure out a theme. I'll probably be doing a lot more mind changing then.

We have three months to go still, and haven't decided on anything, but we'd like to do something nerdy for her.

A few years before actually getting pregnant, I had all sorts of ideas for either an underwater theme or a lady bug theme, now that it's actually here, we're on team green, and we went with a simple yellow and blue with adorable polkadot theme. Once I committed to my design after getting pregnant, I stuck with it, though.

I decided to skip the nursery and decorate my son's toddler room. Our colors are gray/sage/blue (all muted colors). If I had a daughter, it would definitely be yellow and gray.

Other than we weren't even going to do a nursery to begin with, we still are working through the design process. Initially we were just going to do a crib in our room and leave the rest of the house alone. Now we are converting our office to share with the nursery.

The colors are brown and various shades of blues and greens- much like our wedding colors, which I thought was fitting. On one wall we are going to have framed art from James Hance, Mrs. Lemon mentioned his art in her blog, Winnie the Pooh/Star Wars art mash up. On the other wall I bought a decal from Etsy of two trees growing together and will put framed wedding photos of relatives (from our wedding) on the branches like a family tree.

My first nursery design, I did while we were TTC, it was greige, grey, brown, and charcoal. It was really soothing, a little dark, and a little masculine. It was centered around some crib bedding that I loved, that ended up being discontinued.

I ended up changing to a lighter grey, yellow and white colour scheme, that will cost about 1/3 of the original design, because we will go with cheaper furniture, and a chair that we can re-purpose into our living room later (we actually bought the chair and ottoman this weekend, because it was on sale!). I am waiting on fabric swatches from Etsy, so I can get the bedding custom made.
