Most nurseries end up being quite trendy. Meaning, the style of nurseries change easily depending on the decade. Rather than nurseries that reflect the mother and baby, they reflect the decade the baby was born in. Here are some illustrations:

| 1974, 1982 edition The House Book |

| 1965 The Doubleday Book of Interior Decorating |
When I was about to have my first baby, I poured hours and hours of time into preparing for his arrival. Half of that time was spent gathering clothes and diapers and equipment, but the other half was spent decorating the nursery. This is incredible considering we were squeezing his crib into our own bedroom in a one bedroom student apartment! Now that Clay is 9, I can see how trendy my decisions were.
How can our efforts as new mothers be put into a nursery that is timeless? A nursery that will provide items you can use to decorate with in later years? A nursery that is more "you" than "2010s"? This is the question I will be answering this week in my "Classic Nurseries" series.
