Travel Nursery - Part 1

Since we found out we were expecting in January, I have been thinking about how to decorate the baby's room. I didn't want anything that was too pink or blue, or anything that was too pastel "baby." Ideally, we'd like to be able to modify things slightly and still have a room that will be fun and interesting for a toddler or older kid. One of the ideas that I'm starting to take pretty seriously is a travel themed nursery.

There are lots of awesome examples online, including this couple who actually painted a world map in their baby's nursery:



That's amazing, but I am not that talented, nor do I have that much time. Also, I'm not supposed to be around paint, right??

Fortunately, there are a lot of fantastic, easy vinyl decals, including this one from Etsy:

Baby Nursery Wall Decal - Large World Map Nursery Wall Decal - 7 feet wide world map decal - nursery wall map


It comes in over 30 bright colors, so you can find something that would be perfect for any nursery. It also comes with little star and circle decals, so you can mark places that you've been, or homes of family and friends.

There is also some really fun travel-themed wall art out there. These are some of my favorites that I've found so far:

I think this will be the first post of possibly many about this travel theme, so stay tuned!
