A balance

It might be me, but it seems a popular design solution for a nursery is to throw as much crap in there as possible. Preferably a bunch of stuff that doesn't go together.

We've been thinking/talking about the nursery set up the last week or so and we have some pretty clear cut ideas of what we'd like to do with the room. After looking at other nursery pictures for inspiration, we also know what we do not want in the room. We prefer not to overwhelm the child, nor frighten her before she gets to know us. With that in mind, I have a short list of items you won't see in our nursery.
  1. 360 degree murals
  2. Massive fabric letters for spelling
  3. Glue-gunned accessories
  4. Clowns
I'm sure I've just offended everyone who's ever designed a nursery.

Just for fun, what design ideas didn't make your nursery list?

We're adamantly anti-Princess. Also, any branded characters (Dora, Disney, etc). Not that these things are inherently bad, but there's plenty of time for Adrienne to be marketed to in the years ahead.

Ah, babies...

I wanted to cover the floor, walls, and ceiling with those pastel foam alphabet puzzles, but MJ wouldn't let me.
