Elijah's Nursery

I had so much fun putting together Elijah's nursery before he was born. Since we didn't know the sex of the baby, the theme/colors had to be neutral. We went with a 50's mint green color for the wall paint color, which is one of my favorites. My cousin had introduced us to Pali, an Italian company that makes cribs and other baby furniture. We were sold on the quality and design of this brand and of the particular style and color she had. Since it was from a few years ago, we looked on craigslist.org and found the exact crib and dresser/hutch set we were looking for, and for literally $2-3000 less than the retail price!

As for the theme, we tend to shy away from typical baby stuff like Winnie the Pooh or Sesame Street and just went for no theme at all. Instead, we just let the stuffed animals, books and gifts from others be the decor in the room. A hanging quilt helped round it out. Elijah loves to look at the bright colors to this day. I had an old vintage dresser and area rug we put in there as well. I guess you could say our style is kind of eclectic.
