by JB

One of the hot nursery decorating trends preferred by moms designing a baby nursery in the winter months is to choose a warm color palette. Hot pink is the color of choice for a girl's room and red for a baby boy's room.


I suppose it is natural to wrap our little ones in warmth of all kinds when the cold winds blow.
