Problem #1 being that the baby doesn't have it's own room yet because we haven't bought a home yet and are still living in our duplex where the spare room's floor is not visible because of all of our stuff. Maybe we will just knock down a wall and make our neighbors share. Just kidding, we love them too much. However, our home situation will soon change. (update on that later)
Problem #2 We have no idea what this baby is!
To solve the issue for the time being, I have been making mood boards and plans. Everyone keeps asking me if I'm going to have a theme. The answer is yes and no. I hate animal themes and stuff like that. All you people out there who have done or are doing an animal theme, it's not that it's ugly. I just have issues with it. Please, no hard feelings. So, we are doing color themes! Which is way more fun and you can pretty much do anything as long as the colors are similar. All problems are solved.
If Baby Afton is a girl, we will be doing the colors Purple, Grey, and White. I have assembled a mood board for you guys along with a list of where you can get some of this stuff or where I plan to get them.
1. I planned to buy a larger dresser at a garage sale and paint it white and then put a changing pad on the top of it for a changing table. You can also get a dresser like this at Pottery Barn Kids but I'm not willing to pay that price! Yikes! 2. I love this Graco 4 in 1 crib at Walmart. It's a pretty good price too.
3. Print Set - Mysteries on LioLittleLion Etsy Store. 4. Dahlia Bumper at Pottery Barn Kids. 5. Sabrina Toy Chest at Pottery Barn Kids. 6. Dahlia Quilt at Potter Barn Kids. 7. Dahlia Skirt & Sheet at Pottery Barn Kids. 8. Wicker rocker which I had planned on purchasing at a garage sale.
If Baby Afton is a boy, we will be doing the colors Yellow, Grey, and White. I have assembled a mood board for you guys for these colors as well along with a list of where you can get some of this stuff or where I plan to get them.

Harper Crib Skirt at Pottery Barn Kids.8. Wicker rocker which I had planned on purchasing at a garage sale. 9. Model Airplane that I want to either hang from the ceiling or set on a shelf.
You may notice that I don't have a rug on either of these mood boards. We are actually planning on buying really comfy cozy carpet to install wherever we live that will be perfect for the baby! A lot of the things I chose are similar for each gender that way when we have another child and they are a different gender it will be fairly easy to use the same stuff. :)
Let me know what you think! I can't wait to find out what this baby is!
Love it! The colors look fantastic and I love how you are doing color themes instead of specific theme. Grey is one of favorite colors right now so I love that it's incorporated into both rooms.
