We
painted what will soon be the nursery a really soft shade of yellow a couple
months back when we were transforming the room into a guest room. Yellow is a
pretty neutral color to begin with and could work with a wide variety of
themes; I thought it would be a great idea to put together a yellow themed
nursery board.
Once
I started thinking about the color yellow itself I quickly found myself wrapped
up in dandelions. I really love the idea of layering greys and yellows of
different shades in one room. Mixing and matching different fabrics and
patterns should create depth and interest. The major pieces {crib and glider}
would be solid colors to offset the amount of movement going on with patterns elsewhere.

Why
dandelions? I wanted something simple,
something whimsical, and something that I could mix traditional and modern
pieces with easily. Dandelions are something I remember looking for and making
wishes on as a child and it just seemed like a really fun and sweet nursery
theme.
I
thought about doing pom poms and paper lanterns in place of the mobile, but I
really liked this mobile and the use of the different shades of grey. I guess
the same effect could be done with paper lanterns and tissue pom poms using various
shades of both yellow and grey. I just wonder where I would put it and how I
would hang it?
