TGI( almost) Friday!!

Happy Thursday (a.k.a Friday's ugly step sister)! Do you think of yourself as being a hip mom? Well, nurseries have come a long way since the days when you painted the room in standard pink or blue. Modern nursery designs accommodate modest to grand budgets and can be as simple or dramatic as you would like. Here are some of the hottest trends in nursery design:

*Baby Chic. Want your baby to enjoy the finer things in life from the moment he/she is born? Think chandeliers, luxurious chaises, cribs and dainty wall decor. Colors are neutral and the over-all feel is more "hotel" less nursery.

* Retro. Longing for those days when you were a baby? Flashback! The 70's are in for clothing as well as for nursery decor. Colors like bright blue and orange as well as retro prints and sofas are being incorporated into the nursery. This is a nice option if you are limited in house space because the room will not scream "nursery".

* Earth Mama meets organic baby. Eco-friendly everything is in... If you are environmentally conscious and want your baby to have organic products you are in luck. Nowadays, there are plenty of eco-friendly options available from mattresses to sheets, toys and cribs. Going green no longer means stark choices.

*Spa day everyday. Thinking about those long, hard months that you will have to be up all night with the baby? Both you and the baby might enjoy a more neutral color palette and serene nursery setting. A soothing environment might make both you and your baby more inclined to relax.Hey, you never know...

* Nursery rhyme themed. Loved the Cat and the Hat, or Alice in Wonderland? Create a "happy" place for your baby that is based around your favorite childhood book. Incorporate wall art and some accessories to demonstrate your theme.
