Quiet Forest Nursery Theme

My inspiration for #ProjectNursery today revolves around brown, green and white. I call it a Quiet Forest Theme for a baby boy. It is actually pretty gender neutral though.

Ok what we have featured today is: 1) White Forest Tree Decals on a Brown Wall 2) Baby Fawn Bedding 3) Baby Fawn Canvas Wall Art…

And swimming was getting a bit boring for me, so Prenatal Pilates…
