Nursery Inspiration

I've been hemming and hawing over the nursery for the last month and a half. After our ultrasound and finding out we were having a boy, I was finally able to dive right in. Here were some inspiration pics I had:

This was my inspiration even before we knew we were having I boy. I wanted to do light and calming colors. Sarah Richardson is one of my all time favorite designers. Her look is very clean with fun pops of color. I became obsessed with her after watching many episodes of Sarah's House on hgtv.com Here is our nursery plan:

I plan to make the artwork myself with fun scrapbook paper and white frames. The fabric will be used to make a crib skirt and curtains. My mother-in-law is incredible at sewing and will be making both of these for us. The crib skirt will be in the Robert Allen fabric and the curtains will be in the Waverly fabric. As the room comes together I know we will be adding more odds and ends. We plan to purchase a glider in white wood with tan fabric. We will also add a white night stand with a lamp. Other than that I would like the room to be as streamlined as possible. I know babies require a lot of stuff, but I'm hoping to keep things as uncluttered as possible.
