Like most girls who long for the day to become a mother, visions of what my baby's nursery would look like filled my head (and Pinterest boards). I always knew I didn't want it to look too "baby," if that makes any sense. Black and white always stuck out to me, too. Apparently, babies can only see in black and white during their first few weeks of life, mostly due to the high contrast of the colors. After deciding on the black and white, I knew I needed a pop of some color and I always came back to the picture of the dresser in this nursery.
Trying to find the perfect accent rug was quite the task, and it still isn't perfect, but this one is soft and I'm learning to deal with it. :)
We rearranged the nursery quite a few times, even after they were born, and think we finally found the perfect layout!
The framed photo to the left of the window is a poem that Cameron's father wrote when the original Travis Baker was born. Cameron's mom typed it and had it framed. How special!
The canvas to the right of the window was the photo that I took for my 24 week bump pic. My aunt had it blown up for one of my showers.
The framed hand calligraphied names are actually cards that my best friend, Emily, had done for me by one of her student's moms! I love them so much, I probably won't ever use the other cards! Haha
