I am so happy that one of my very favorite companies, The Home Depot, is sponsoring this post and our awesome GIVEAWAY! As always, all opinions {and my love for The Home Depot} are my very own. Please see below for additional disclosure.
I have had a lot on my mind lately as I am officially 36 weeks pregnant! Is it just me, or did that FLY by!? I have been in crazy nesting mode, checking things off of my to-do list at lightening speed {Ok, as "lightening speed" as a hugely pregnant girl can go :)}. I have also been brainstorming ideas for my new little guy's room.
On top of everything else, we are also in the process of trying to find new carpet for our entire home {does it feel like our to-do list is never-ending to anyone but me?}. Ours is very worn out and sad looking, and it is time to replace it. I have looked at SO many samples in various places, and was excited to get the opportunity to review this sample of SoftSpring Carpet from The Home Depot.
I headed down to The Home depot with my sweetie pie, and checked out all of the different SoftSpring Carpets. I think it would be wonderful for a nursery because of how lusciously soft it feels. Actually, the adorable thing is that Ella kept touching it and saying "soooooooooooft."
I really love that girl. She read my mind.
I really am very impressed with their carpet. I used my sample to see what it would look like with the other decor elements I already have for the room. Here is a little peak for you... it isn't much so far, but you can see the general direction I am leaning...
I love the look of the black and cream with the warm tones of the carpet. I think I will need a pop of red, and maybe some vintage galvanized and numbered elements.
I have actually had these vintage train blueprints since our honeymoon over 5 years ago. I saw them in a little antique shop on the coast and knew that they would be perfect for a little boy's room if I ever had one. I just had to buy them and store them away just in case... and now I am so excited to use them! Now I just need to find some great furniture, textiles, etc.
So... back to planning... Here are some tips I like to keep in mind when planning a nursery:
If you are looking for some lusciously soft carpet, or are planning a nursery, here is some more great information about SoftSpring Carpet from The Home Depot.

I will definitely keep you posted as I decorate his room. I have been in little girl mode for so long, that creating a room for this sweetie pie may be a little challenging... but fun!

Megan @ Megity's Handmade
Oooo!! If I were so lucky to win the GC, I would put it towards some new hinges and doorknobs for my hallway. They are in need of replacing and since they are 60+ years old, I think they've done their job! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

I'd buy paint! Color adds such life to a room & if I had money leftover some new light fixtures!

There are so many fun things to buy from Home Depot, maybe I'll buy some more plants for the yard since I love gardening but then again paint would be fun since I've been wanting to change up the family room 🙂
