Getting the Nest Ready: My Nursery Picks

Something has happened to me this week. I woke up at six, made a cup of tea, and spent the entire morning folding tiny vests and rearranging a shelf of board books. Apparently this is called nesting, and apparently it is unstoppable. Baby is due in November and, honestly, it could be any day now.

The nursery is the one room in the flat I've wanted to get just right. Calm, soft, and full of things that will still feel special in years to come. And no, I'm still not telling anyone whether it's a boy or a girl, so everything is in creams, ivories and a little touch of gold.

Somewhere to sleep

The heart of any nursery is the crib, and I've fallen for the Ivory Voile Fairy-Tale Canopy Crib. A soft voile canopy, clean ivory lines, and the kind of gentle, dreamy feel that makes you want to whisper when you walk into the room. I can already picture the night light glowing through it.

Somewhere to sit

Every friend who has had a baby gives me the same advice: get a really comfortable chair. Those late-night feeds and early-morning cuddles add up. The Champagne Velvet Throne Nursing Chair is soft champagne velvet with proper support, so it's the chair I'll be curled up in with a blanket, a cup of tea and a very small person.

Something to keep

Then there are the little things that become treasures. A first teddy is one of them. The Honey Velvet Heirloom Teddy is the sort of bear that gets carried everywhere, loved a bit threadbare, and kept for decades. I want baby to have a friend waiting in the crib on the very first night home.

If you'd like to see the rest of what I've been looking at, have a wander through Nursery Furniture and Keepsakes & Gifts. There are bookcases, toy chests, handprint frames and a very soft bunny that I keep going back to.

Helping me get ready

Every nursery gift you choose comes back to you as a set of AI photos of me with it, plus a thank-you voice note. Nothing is posted, so there's no clutter, just the fun of seeing the room come together with you.

Thank you for being part of this with me. It means more than you know, and I promise to keep you updated as the big day gets closer. πŸ’›
