We are thinking of putting our house on the market. I should be afraid of the comments from potential buyers trampling through our home making remarks about each detail, but I am not.

Maybe it is my addiction to home improvement shows. I watch that one show about how to get your house ready for sale, and I see the awful things buyers say when they do not know they are being filmed – I never wanted that to happen so I try to plan ahead. We knew that we would spend a few years in our first home and then “roll it”. When we found out we were having a baby, the designer in me was beaming at the idea of planning her nursery, however the thought in the back of my mind was ‘how do I please picky potential buyers?’.

The answer? We designed our baby’s room so that it was sweet and perfectly babyish without being too over the top. This is a good thing to keep in mind when you are shopping for baby furniture, picking out paint and deciding on a theme for your future nursery. With a can of key lime paint and fresh white crown moldings and baseboards our daughter’s room was a canvas for modern furniture, and it allows us to switch out bedding on a whim if she wears out her current set.
