Warm Earth Tone Nursery For Baby Number Five of this Family

“Don’t spend a fortune on your nursery, because no matter how much you love it, it will have to be changed at some point…. either when your child outgrows it or when another baby comes along and the rooms have to be shifted around,” mom Carrie advises. She’s had some practice decorating for kids, as baby Grant’s warm, Earth tone nursery is her fifth child.  “If you do want the room to last a while, pick a wall color that is gender-neutral,” Carrie said.  “Also, don’t paint any murals or use wallpaper or border.”

Before this earth tone nursery belonged to baby Grant, it belonged to his big sister and was bubblegum pink. While beige can be very bland, Grant’s room has a warm feel to it when mixed with the right amount of white.

“Use prints, photos and canvases to decorate, since those are easy to change out.  Don’t clutter the room with nick-knacks.  Nurseries become so cluttered on their own with all the clothing, toys, books and baby essentials.”

By leaving some empty spaces for special items that parents collect when baby is little, such as their first shoes or special gifts, the room can grow with baby’s memories. “I have a new obsession with birds so I found a room to use them as a detail.  Of course I love the items that remind me of Grant’s story, including the framed letter and the scripture print.

His scripture print reads:

“Our children and their children will get in on this as the Word is passed along parent to child. Babies not yet conceived will hear the good news that God does what he says!”

Carrie printed out the word “faith” and stuck it on the window. Grant’s full name is “Grant Fidelis” meaning “Great faith,” which is what Carries said she
needed to take on a 5th pregnancy and baby.

Thanks for sharing Grant’s nursery and your great decorating tips with us Carrie!
