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 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)!

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!
