Well, I almost can’t believe it myself, we are expecting a little boy!
I guess I didn’t realize how much I thought it was a girl, because I am in complete shock!
I am super excited, from what I hear boys are great at cuddling and love their mommas…sounds perfect to me.
Here is our little guy’s profile, isn’t he a cutie?
Ok, maybe only a mom can find an ultrasound picture cute.
Now that I know we are expecting a boy, I can’t stop designing the bedroom.
Since moving into our condo 3 years ago, Emory’s room has made a couple changes. It started off with her big girl bed.
And then she graduated to a loft bed.
Now it is time to make a few more changes.
I need to make this room gender neutral, working for a 4 year old girl and a newborn baby boy.
I also want it to be fun and playful, since this rooms doubles as the toy room.
I plan on keeping the white loft bed, black and white chalkboard stripes, the blue drapery, and the aqua furniture.
I am going to switch the pink loft bed drapery to plain white and add ric rac ribbon trim.
I’m still not positive on the color, but I want a fun and bold color.
Something like this…

Next, I plan on buying a Jenny Lind crib and getting it painted!
I’ve already found a few on my local classifieds, making it a very affordable option.
Now this is where you come in.
I’m debating between 3 colors…red, aqua, or yellow?
Keep in mind, I’ve already got the aqua furniture, black and white striped wall, and Emory’s white loft bed.
So, what’s your vote?
Red, blue, or yellow?
Congratulations, what exciting news! And my vote is for red. 🙂
Congrats! I vote red too! 🙂 I love the red/aqua combo.
Oh Boy! Congrats, Congrats!
So exciting, Danielle! You’re right, little boys LOVE their mommas. Total stinker that can melt your heart at the same time!
Congratulations how exciting!! I vote for yellow!
Congrats on the little boy they are wonderful, I have two myself! And I think the red would look awesome in the room!
I vote red! You will love having a little guy 🙂
Ah, congrats! After having three girls, when our little guy came along I was in shock as well. It’s true, at 3 years old he is very snuggly and does love his mommy a lot. I vote yellow although the red would look fabulous too. Well they all would! I really don’t think you can go wrong!
Congrats!!! Red for sure!
Congrats! Boys are great! My vote is for red too.
Congrats on the baby boy!! I am expecting a boy in November, I can’t wait! Can’t wait to see what you do with the nursery 🙂

Baby boys are wonderful! Yello will really make a pop in the room 🙂 congrats!
Congrats on your baby boy! I vote yellow since Emory’s first room had some of the red and aqua, can’t wait to see your fun take on it!
Congrats, Danielle! Little boys are so fun. My little guy loves on me all the time, it is the best. Get ready for a whirlwind…boys can be crazy!! I love the idea of a red crib paired with the aqua in the room. Whatever you do, it is sure to be amazing! So happy for you!!!!
Congrats! I have two boys and they are a blast! I vote for the red crib.

OMG!!! Congratulations hun!!Vote for aqua!! :))

Congratulations!! Something that would be a really cute option from ric-rac trim is pom pom trim! They have a ton a different colors for sale on etsy! Very anthro right now and still juvenile while visually yummy to adults! Just a suggestion! I think you’d love it! Especially in a bright red! Good luck!

I’m a mother of 4 girls and 1 boy in the middle. I would take 10 more of him any day. (Keeping the girls too of course:) I love the aqua/red combo. Can’t wait to see what you come up with. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy. Thanks for taking the time to inspire us all even though you haven’t been feeling well.
congrats!!! boys are wonderful, you’ll love it! i vote red.. it makes it a touch more gender neutral plus its so vibrant it’ll be fun!
Congratulations! How exciting! Love the blue and red scheme. I vote for the blue bed. Reminds me of my favorite vase from Anthropologie http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-room/073882.jsp
Hope you’re feeling great. Pat
Congratulations!!!! I vote yellow! I can’t seem to shake my yellow obsession.
Hey! I just announced my fifth girl. There’s no shame in making a trade, a tehehehe. I could say the aqua but it seems like such an overexposed color right now. I really love the red and yellow. Oh yes I do.
congratulations on the baby boy! I love acqua with red… so my vote is for RED!
You are so lucky… a little girl and a baby boy! So sweet. I vote red!
Congrats! I love my little guy and his sister is great at being a big sister. I vote for yellow, happy and fresh!
yellow. SO cute!!!!! My husband just made my girls loft beds like yours!!!!! LOVE them!!!
YELLOW 🙂 Love this room..
Love your ideas! I vote for yellow on the crib with pops of red elsewhere in the room such as the ric rac!
Congratulations!! how exciting for you guys!! I would go RED with the bed! ;-0
Yellow! Adorable 🙂
I love that you are having a boy!! It’ll be fun to experience both!.. I vote red or yellow. I’m sure whichever color you choose will look fabulous because you always design the cutest rooms!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
I’m torn between the yellow & aqua. The room will be a great place for both children no matter what color you choose
congratulations!! I am a huge fan of aqua, but I’m actually leaning toward yellow on this one
Congrats! I, too, have a little girl who’s about to turn 4 years old and just found out we’re having a boy as our second! Awesome!
Congratulations! I think they call that the million dollar family 🙂 My vote is for yellow!
Congratulations! My little boy sure does love his Mama, and it’s such a special bond. You’re going to have so much fun with him. I think whatever you do to this room will look fabulous, but yellow is just so sunny and happy. Best of luck. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Yellow!!! I love the combinations of yellow, acqua and black! Congrats!
I think red or yellow would be adorable… I’m leaning more towards red since looking at that pic of ric-rac ribbon!
oh, and congratulations on the baby boy… my daughter is 8 months old and we’re expecting our 2nd in April. We’re going to be surprised and find out at birth what the gender is 🙂 I’ve heard little boys are such Mama’s boys though!
Congratulations! I’m loving the red and aqua combination, so my vote is red. I love red for boys too, though. And if not red definitely yellow! It would be a really great pop!
