“What is the theme?” I developed a head tick over this question.
Sigh, theme or no theme I was over the moon about my baby. I didn't need a crib bumper with little soccer balls or a wall hanging of baby
elephants to show my level enthusiasm. Even though I didn’t express my excitement with a rug that matched the changing pad, I loved putting Calvin’s room together.

I started to gather ideas on Pinterest for a black and white nursery. I wanted a room that was whimsical but not pastel. I wanted it to look like a child’s room but with tons of room to grow and change. The
first item I purchased were the curtains. They are from Ikea and they have that whimsical feeling I was looking for. That was the last item I bought for my Pinterest board. After that I went for fun and
function. We took the doors off the closet to make the small room feel a little more open. I used numbered bins from Land of Nod to help my husband find items. (diapers are in bin 1!!) I printed selfies
of friends and family to make a small gallery wall. I used books and toys to add color. Some of my favorite items in the room were gifts from thoughtful friends and family. I love how the room came out
but I have no problem moving things around.

Carrie Note - I am OBSESSED with the selfie wall of friends and family. I think I have to steal that and incorporate it into our night time routine. Thanks for sharing, Jillian! I love Calvin's room!
