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 am currently 36 weeks so I would definitely purchase a nursery print. We decided to be surprised by the sex, so once the baby is born we’ll need to add finishing touches to the nursery for sure 🙂 Thanks for the great giveaway!
I recently moved into a new apartment with my sister and we have been having a difficult time finding prints to fill the rather blank walls – would love to use Minted to spruce up our place!
I would definitely use it towards some art for the walls…we moved in a year ago and they’re still empty!
I would use this generous gift card towards decorating our little babe expected to arrive March 2016!! It makes me so giddy looking at their cute prints to get our nursery going!
I would definitely use it for holiday cards. I love minted! Your nursery print is so adorable.
I have never heard of this company until just not reading this post. I’ve spent quite a few minutes (more than I should while I’m at work) looking through everything and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with their Christmas Card selection!!!! I’d definitely use the gift card towards holiday cards this year!
I’d use it for my daughters rooms!
their foil art of states are so unique!

I never did a birth announcement for my second so I would love to do a Holiday card this year!
I’m due in January and just beginning to think about how to decorate the nursery for our little one so I would use it for nursery decor!
I would get brushed herringbone curtain
Definitely stationary! I’m heading into my junior year of college and I’m all about the organization/school supplies right now!!
I would also use it for nursery prints! My youngest is 8 months old with still many bare spots on the wall because I haven’t found any prints that I love and are affordable!
I would definitely use it for nursery décor.
There are so many home decorations that I could think of getting. I also could use it for this year’s Christmas cards!
Julie, your nursery frame is SO CUTE! I haven’t heard of Minted until your post, and looking on their site, I am already in love. If I were to win the $200 credit, I would definitely buy stationary [love handwriting cards] and the USA gold foil map. My boyfriend just received his US citizenship and his birthday is in a few weeks, so it would be a perfect gift =]
Christmas card! We have a new baby and did not send out an announcement, so we want to include that in our Christmas Card
I would definitely use it for our holiday cards this year! I have already begun planning what they might look like in my head and I know Minted would make them perfect 🙂
I’d use it for home decor!
I would love to use Minted for our upcoming baby shower invites!! How great, thank you for the opportunity!
That animal print right there! We need a theme for our nursery, may have just found it!

I am getting married next May and would love to use it for save the dates or wedding invites!!
I would love to find some prints for my “office nook” that would also go well in our bedroom (since that’s where my desk is). It’s been tough to style an office/work space in our snug little apartment!
I know this is far away but definitely holiday cards! I am getting married this October and am so excited to send out our first family holiday cards!
I love Minted! I would definitely use it for our holiday card 🙂
I would love to get a head start on our holiday cards!
I’m a true believer in snail mail, especially for cards – greeting, birthday, holiday – being able to physically hold a card means so much more than a text or email. I’m expecting this November, so you can bet our Christmas cards will be full of new baby (and our loving pup), so a gift card to Minted would allow me to send just about everyone a little holiday cheer! Congratulations on your new love!
To decorate my little nugget’s nursery!
My boyfriend and I just moved in together, so some new decor that we could both pick out would be wonderful!
I would love some new stationary or artwork for my apartment!
We have infant twins whose nursery is still incomplete. Would love to put our finishing touches on with some Minted prints!
I just got married on August 1 so I would love some things to decorate my home with!!!
My son is 15 mos old tomorrow and his walls are STILL pretty bare (2nd baby problems) so I’d love to get some prints for his room.
We are moving (again!) and need some new decor for the space! Best of luck everyone! 🙂
Birth announcements for my second daughter!
I’d definitely use it for home decor!
Would love some design help with my new apartment !!
Our new baby’s nursery! So cute.
We have a blank wall in our newly renovated kitchen that I would love to fill up with some prints from Minted!
Well, I am graduating from graduate school in 8 months, so maybe some announcements! I also love love love their stationary and decor, though, so probably some of that, too!
I would probably use the gift card towards some minted art for our nursery 🙂
I’ve always lusted over the things on Minted! I’d use the $200 toward stationery. I’m needing some new, nice cards. And if I don’t drop it all on that, I’m going straight for the home decor.
I would definitely get something to hang on my wall! I’ve just done some remodeling and the walls are so bare.
I would love to use it for upcoming holiday cards. (Is it seriously almost the holidays!?)
