Our nursery is complete!
I previously shared a nursery tour on the blog back in July but the look was a bit incomplete thanks to some bare spots on the wall. The place above our changing table was perhaps the most glaringly bare and though I shopped around my usual places in hopes of stumbling upon a cute baby-friendly print to frame, I kept coming up short.
Minted to the rescue!
I’ve used Minted in the past for our holiday cards last year and bridal shower and bachelorette party invitations for two of my girlfriends, so when the company reached out to me to offer to create birth announcement cards for us, my interest piqued because I already loved the site from my past experiences. The only issue? I didn’t really care to send out birth announcements (though I’m sure Chase will be all over our holiday card this year), but when I shared some of my woes about finding the perfect print for our nursery with the Minted team, they kindly offered to send me a print from their beautiful Minted Art collection for Chase’s bedroom.
It took me quite a while to select the perfect print. I went back and forth so many times and fell in love with more than a small handful of the prints featured on the site. All of the designs featured on Minted are sourced through their community of independent artists through ongoing design competitions, so there are a myriad of artistic styles to choose from to fit your personal preferences.
I tend to gravitate toward soft colors and calming prints and in the end I selected an adorable map of the world speckled with animals for a whimsical feel for our nursery.
The Animal World Map is available in two different colors and I immediately chose the khaki and blue/green color combination, knowing it would fit best with the decor we currently had in our nursery.
Within a few hours of the print arriving on our doorstep, we put it on display and our nursery was complete! I love it so much and owe a big thank you to Minted for such a lovely gift!

I love the print you picked out for Chase!! I would use the giftcard towards thank you notes.
Oh my goodness, I love Minted SO much! I would use it for holiday cards or maybe a wedding invitation someday!! 🙂
I just came across Minted and ordered an address book!! I love them! Such awesome designs! I would LOVE the $200 because I would get some personalized stationary as I love writing snail mail to my friends all over the country – since leaving college in Florida and coming back to Illinois, we are all spread out everywhere. Such a cute way to stay in touch! I would love it! 🙂
Baby shower invitations! I’m due in Decemeber and we’re having a shower in October!
I would definitely use them for Christmas cards.
Hmm normally I would say home décor but I’m feeling a calling towards holiday cards! I’ve always wanted to do one and I think my boyfriend and I could have fun choosing a design and making it our own!
I love Minted and would use the credit towards new art for our home!
My baby announcement!! And a holiday card 🙂 we are due in January and this would be wonderful!!!
We just moved into a new house and I’d love to keep filling up the walls with some home decor prints!!
I would love to get a cute print for our nursery. I love the one you chose!
I love, love minted! I’d love to use the GC towards some artwork – I really want to do a gallery wall in our nursery since we’re renting.
I love the print you chose! I would use the gift card towards holiday cards. My husband and I each have big families so they can run up in price real quick 🙂
Home décor for our new house!
I would definitely put it toward nursery/kids room prints. I have some bare spots in the baby’s room and want to update the toddler’s!
I would totally use the $200 to find some new wall decor for my new apartment I’m moving into in October!!
I would use the money to buy holiday cards with my adorable son on the front:)
I would love to get some art/prints for my new apartment! The walls are so bare and it makes me feel like I’m not at home!
I would hang on to it and get some new art for new house that we will be moving into in October!
We recently moved from a 550 square foot apartment into a 1500 square foot condo! We have so few things to hang on these huge white walls. I’d go for some art prints.
I still have some old school in me-I love sending handwritten notes to friends and family. I’d def get some stationary. And thanks for the info about baby prints-these are perfect baby shower gifts.
I am getting married in April – how perfect would these invitations be?!
I have used minted in the past for invitations to various events and they always come out beautiful! I would love to check out some of their prints to decorate our bare walls.
Christmas Cards! I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about those 🙂
I would use the gift card on home decor! I’m slowwwwwwly working towards decorating our house and the artwork has been the most difficult to decide on by far! I actually just came across minted a few weeks ago and keep going back looking at all their amazing options!
Love the print you chose! So cute!!
I would love to order some holiday cards featuring the newest addition to our family – our son 🙂
I would love to get a framed print for our bare, white walled living room 😛

I love Minted! Our little guy’s nursery has a bare spot above his crib, so I would use it to find the perfect print, or for our upcoming Christmas cards
Oh my goodness, I am LOVING that site! I would use the $200 towards the Custom Nursery Art. Our little girl is due in December and I’m slowly but surely getting things ready for the nursery 🙂 It’s pretty exciting- as you know! The art on Minted is EXACTLY in line with what I’m looking for.
I would use my gift card to buy wall decorations for my new apartment! I am always on Minted admiring the beautiful artwork and am always so tempted to splurge!!
Christmas cards!!!!!
Save the dates! We got engaged in July, and will have save the dates, shower invites and many others to come. Though, we should probably actually PICK at date first 😉
Those prints are amazing! I would definitely use it on home decor, we are still putting the finishing touches on our home and something for the guest room would be perfect!
Home decor! Moved into a new place 8 weeks ago and need stuff for the walls 🙂

Congratulations on your handsome baby boy! So happy for you! I would use the credit for my friend’s baby shower invites. She’s due on my birthday!
Something a little different than birth announcements and decor, but I am getting married in 11 months and I LOVE a lot of Minted Save-the-date cards! So unique and classy! $200 would help soooo much with our tight budget! I love your nursery! Congrats on your little guy, he is beautiful:)
