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 have recently redecorated my bathroom and bedroom, but have not been able to find artwork that I love…so that is definitely what I would use it for!
I would definitely use the gift card towards holiday cards! i’m getting married in a week and will definitely be using a pic for the holidays!
I’d use it for baby announcements for baby #2 due in March! Used Minted for baby #1 and LOVED them 🙂
I would use it for our Halloween card which will be the next picture card I send out. I always dress My son up and take some pictures to send to family members who won’t get to see him on Halloween
I would use the gift card for home decor. I just moved in to a new place and could use some updated decor from the posters I had in college!
I would love to buy the Foliage print from the art prints section.
I would get something cute for my little boys room!
We just bought our first home just north of Charlotte and our walls are so very bare. I would love to add a few Minted pieced to our decor!
I would buy baby shower invitations for sister who is due in November!
I would use this for my wedding!-either for my save-the-dates, or my invitations. I just got engaged last weekend, and am quickly finding out that wedding’s are quite an expensive endeavor, so this would help me out tremendously!
I have been looking for fall-themed birthday party invitations for our daughter who turns 1 in October so I will definitely be checking out Minted!
PS. I love the print you picked for Chase’s nursery!
i would use it towards things for my wedding(:
I would use it for decor or artwork for my baby boy’s nursery!
I am pregnant with our second child and would love to have a print to display when he or she comes in October!
I love this websites home decor! Their photos and graphics are beautiful!
I have a bunch of friends having babies soon so this would be great! I would also love some cards for the upcoming holiday season. Thanks for the giveaway : )
We recently found out we are pregnant, so I would probably use it for some nursery artwork!
I would probably choose the same print you did! Though I also love “Zebra from Above” and “Life Is Better.” I too have a newborn and we have some blank space in her nursery as well. I guess I sort of forgot about decorating because I’ve been so busy (cuddling. mostly)!
I adore the print you chose! My babies aren’t really babies anymore, but I still want it. =) I would get holiday cards. Minted is my favorite!
I would definitely use it for birth announcements this December!
We are moving in October to a bigger house which = more wall space. I have always had my eye on Minted and LOVE their site but have never purchased anything. It would be a perfect time to finally buy something beautiful and unique for our new home!
Either home décor or to decorate my two daughters’ rooms!
I would use it on birth announcements, baby #2 is due in January of 2015. We are so excited!
I’m getting married next year – so maybe Save the Dates!
As much as I would love to use it on birth announcements, I’d have to say I would splurge on holiday cards (as newlyweds) and/or home decor! 🙂
I LOVE Minted! I’ve used them for holiday cards and for framed prints for my office. If I win the giveaway I’d buy a large print for our bedroom since the walls are completely bare.
I love their holiday cards! They are stunning!
I would probably use it for home decor for our new house.
Julie, we had the same due date for our baby boys and I’ve been following your blog for some time now! I am still searching for artwork for my little one’s nursery and would use the money at Gifted for just that!
I would definitely get a print for my tv room! 🙂
I would love to use it for holiday cards! Thanks!
Holiday cards!
I would put it toward prints for my new home!
Holiday cards! So cute!
I would love to be able to purchase the Heart Snapshot Mix photo art and fill it with old family photos! Thanks!
I would totally use the minted gift card to get our Holiday cards and order some home decorations! I love Christmas cards so much!
I would love a Minted gift card! I am dying for some new prints for our house.
I’d use the $200 for stationary and holiday cards!
I’m expecting baby #1 in December and would definitely use it towards birth announcements or a print for her nursery! 🙂
I’d use it for prints for the house!
Probably stationary, but it would be so hard to decide!
I would love to win so I can decorate my 3 year old son’s new room — we are about to close on our first home 🙂
I like the Ahoy, Girlie!
I would use the credit towards holiday cards this year! 🙂
Such a hard decision! I think I would use the gift card to finish my 5 month old’s nursery – it just doesn’t feel complete yet and I think the 2 walls in there that are still bare has a lot to do with that. Thanks for the chance to win!
Home decor! My walls are bare!!!
I’m pregnant with twins and would love a Minted design for the new nursery!
I’d love to get some beautiful holiday cards! All of their designs are amazing!
Def holiday cards!
Definitely would use toward home decor! We are so lacking in that department!
I’d love to freshen up our house with some new home decor!
