So in addition to brainstorming names for both genders, I have been thinking a lot about how to decorate a gender-neutral nursery. I could just save most of the decorating for after the baby is born, but something tells me that decorating a nursery is going to be one of the last things I'll want to do after bringing home home a newborn baby.
A while back I was browsing the Internet for ideas and I stumbled upon this artist's website. That led me to her online store where I found some very charming prints and collages on wood. And I realized that I could probably re-create some of her artwork pretty easily and inexpensively.
So with a couple free hours, some craft paper, art boards, and Mod Podge, here's what I came up with:
I'm pretty pleased with the results. I'm planning to make a few more featuring other animals and then I'll group them together on one of the nursery walls. I've had a lot of fun getting in touch with my crafty side and it's really neat to think that I'll be decorating my baby's room with items I created myself.

Love, Love, Love it Mel!! So creative! They turned out great!
You are so artsy! (i don't even know it that's a word, but it is now) I think those will look great! Your little one will have something that he/she can keep for years to come from mommy. =)
These look great Mel! And I totally get the waiting to find out gender thing, as much as one can know when one is still a long distance away from getting pregnant, I think I would want to do the same.
Love these updates by the way!
Love the artwork! Rachel made some cute prints for Declan's nursery. Plus babies babies are naturally attracted to bold simple prints in either black and white or bright colours, so your baby will be able to enjoy your art earlier. As for choosing not to know: we tried to find out with Declan but he thwarted our efforts on several occasions, but given the opportunity with another child I would probably choose to be surprised. The surprise is a special moment :)
So cute!
