Nursery Decor Ideas

When it comes to Blake's bedroom, I know that I want to change it up a bit. 

His room has pale blue walls, beige carpet and white furniture.

Other than the bright colors of his toys I can't help but feel that it looks a bit plain.  

As we are renting we are restricted into what we can do to our home

even so we can still update Blake's room using different decor items.

We've decided that we wont be changing the furniture as they were brought new when we

first got his room sorted. 

I've been searching for nursery ideas over on Pinterest and other websites 

and have come across this room and I just love it! 

I think the colors will really work, although it wont look completely the same

as in this photo I think it will be easy to do something similar. 

So here are my ideas on how to I can make Blake's room look a little similar to this one.

First of all I'm thinking of getting the Ikea LÖVA canopy that is in the above photo 

as I feel that it would be a fab addition to Blake's room above his cot.

I  would then change the basket's from his shelf above to green or orange ones. 

This would help bring more color to the room. 

I plan on having a sort out of Blake's toys and decide where they will go. We'll have some on display and others will be in one of his toy boxes. 

One thing I will keep on top of his toy box is his personalised cushion as it brings a bit of personalisation to the room. 

I want to to purchase a rug for the room but undecided yet on which one. 

I want it to be a good size but feel that if we got one in the same color as the one in my inspiration photo there will be too much blue so again I'm thinking green or orange. 

As for wall art we have already got this personalised foot print up on the wall and want to keep that there. 

Now we have got permission to put up more we have got an A,B,C print that my sister purchased. She got Blake the canvas when I was expecting him so want that up and I'm going to find another canvas of some kind to also go on one of the walls.

His rooms window ledge has some cute trinkets that will be staying along with his cream blind on his window which we can't change. 

As much as I love tree design on the wall above the cot in my inspiration photo.

This is something unfortunately we are unable to do. 

What do you think of my ideas? 

Is there anything else you would add? 

Let me know as always comment below. 

Unisex Baby Nursery Furniture

So at just over 33 weeks pregnant we are finally getting most things sorted out for Baby's room. 

It's taken us awhile as we still had boxes in there from when we moved in,during August  that needed sorting.

Plus we only really just got around finding space for near enough everything. 

I knew when it came to the furniture in baby's room that I wanted all the furniture to be white. 

Luckily Stuart has agreed and over the last few months I have been browsing and trying to find the best items at great prices. 

We are living in a rented flat and baby's room is painted sky blue. But as we don't know baby's gender I have been looking to some ideas to make most of the blue walls by using accessories that are gender specific which I will look more into once little one arrives. 

Onto the furniture we have chosen to go for the BRIMNES 2 door wardrobe (1) from Ikea. 

I like how this wardrobe has a shelf so that you can fit folded clothing as well as short and long hanging items. 

 My mum (even though we have one to borrow) decided to surprise us and buy us a new moses basket for baby (2) I am looking forward to it arriving as it does look gorgeous. It comes with hood, mattress, quilt and white folding stand. 

We have also chosen to go for the MALM (3) 4 chest of drawers which I am looking forward to organizing. 

Then last of all we have the Padstow Cot Bed (4) from Mothercare which was a gift from Stuart's Mum.

We managed to get it on special offer and we also brought a mattress separate for it on special offer too. 

We wanted a cot bed so that it would last our baby until they reach the age of 4.

Once baby is here I am looking forward to getting the bedding etc for the cot and kitting out the room properly. 

Zoflora Disinfectant in Oriental Lily

When it comes to cleaning I am fan Zoflora disinfectant's.
The limited edition Oriental  Lily scent has a beautiful aroma of peach, frangipani and vanilla.

The 3 in 1 action disinfectant is a powerful concentrated liquid that not only kills 99.9% of

bacteria and virus's but also eliminates odors keeping your home smelling wonderful all day.

The bottle contains 120ml which retails at £1.33 and lasts ages as it can be diluted for most cleaning jobs. 

The disinfectant can be used in every room in your home from the bathroom to your little ones nursery. 

We are hoping to move at the end of August and if so we will be able to sort out a nursery area for our little

one for once they arrive in December. 

As well as the usual areas of a room Zoflora disinfectant can be used in the nursery to keep changing table's, potties and furniture clean. Zapping any bugs away and keeping Mums and Dads minds at rest. 

Tip: 

Use 2 caps of Zoflora into a clean and empty spray bottle and fill up with water.

This is ideal as you can have spray bottle for each room of your home which will last for quiet awhile.
