Choosing a theme for the nursery was a little tougher than we anticipated. There are SO many options out there (which seems to be the case for all things baby) and we liked so many of them. I think while we were shopping around and deciding we said, "Well, we can do that theme when he goes to a big kid room." Or, "Well, our second boy can have that theme." Yes, we are crazy and talking about future children already. #FirstTimeParents There were two themes we seriously considered before we settled on the one we're currently working on (and loving!) but here's how the decision came to be.
Option #1: Sports
DUH! Jared and I are crazy sports fans and I think we both kinda' automatically thought that our boy's room would be a sports themed one. Instead of just football we thought it would be fun to include all the sports we both love. There's a lot of cute stuff out there, and we loved this set from Babies 'R' Us, but with how small the room is- we were worried it would be too dark for that small space. Plus we have white furniture so we weren't sure it would even look right together. Sports will (hopefully!) be something he loves one day but for his room we sadly had to let it go. Is it too early to plan his first birthday party?? ;)

Probably another duh, as you know how much we love all things Disney. However once we looked around for ideas for this theme- it just didn't feel like something we loved. There was a lot of all blue Mickey-dominant stuff, but I wasn't loving it. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum, a lot of the other Disney stuff we stumbled upon was too pastel and looked more feminine which we obviously didn't want. While our child will surely be a Disney character/movie/parks fan one day- the room just wasn't working for us.

So we finally landed on...
Option #3: Ocean/Under the Sea
We saw this Nemo lamp in Babies 'R' Us and the colors were so bright and fun we decided to run with it. We didn't want to plaster Finding Nemo all over the place in there- but we loved the bright blues mixed with pops of green and orange. Whales, fish, crabs and even a plush octopus will likely make an appearance in our little guy's room. It's not necessarily a nautical theme, like I've seen a lot of- let's be honest, Jared and I aren't nautical, we don't boat! Haha. But we do love the ocean and we love the bright, cheerful colors that can come with an under the sea theme.

Whew- so there you have it! This room is going to be the coolest room in our house by far once we're done with it. I can't wait to share progress as we get more stuff to actually put in there :)
