Make Your Space Out of This World!

Before I was pregnant, I used to laugh, smirk or judge profusely whenever someone would mention "nesting." Nesting? That's just an excuse to spend money! Maybe on some level, it is. But if so, it is buried beneath the all-encompassing hormonal need to create a safe, pleasant space to raise a child. It drives us to create fantasy nurseries long after our children are born. Nesting is real - all too real!

How about an outer space themed nursery? Though we both have girls and would have happily created a more feminine outer space nursery, we purposefully chose to keep it as gender neutral as possible. But many of these items have more gendered color choices if you so choose!

Brianna's Two Cents: I agree. Nesting is a super power! If I could sell nesting in a bottle, I would be so crazy rich. I, too, love gender neutral nurseries. Gender neutral doesn't mean neutral colors or boring. In this case, it just means we can all agree that space is cool! Parents, put stuff YOU like in the nursery; you'll be spending a lot of time there, too.

How fun are these curtains? The heavy-duty blackout curtains have star-shaped cut-outs throughout. So even in the middle of the day, you can pull the blinds closed and star gaze! They come in gray, soft pink, white, black, navy blue, brown, and turquoise.

Every nursery needs a statement piece. Now usually that's the crib, but why can't it be the dresser? Take a look at this sleek modern dresser with a chrome top and hardware! Can't you just picture astronauts at NASA using this? I can see my little astronaut enjoying it. Plus it comes with wall decals!

Who needs a changing table? Slap a changing pad on top of your imposing dresser and voila- you have a versatile system that will accommodate a growing child. Check out this constellation changing pad cover! Bonus? The set comes with crib sheets and a blanket as well!
#4
Having the right lighting pulls a room together. This LED Lunar nightlight  gives just the right amount of soft light for midnight changes.

Brianna: The beauty of this light is that it will go perfectly with any outer space nursery, whether you choose to boldly go with bright colors, or keep it clean and neutral.

Your little isn't the only one who will be sleeping in this nursery! Make sure to stow a cuddly blanket away just for you! This fleece throw, which comes in navy, black or grey, is fit for a star.

Now be sure to add in a blanket's best friend - the pillow. These star-shaped pillows look deliciously soft. While this Hugg-a-planet set will make your inner dork beam! They are both cuddly and educational. Now that's a win-win! But the sweetest pillow pals are most definitely the Celestial Buddies. Not technically a pillow - I know - but when you are feeding your wee one around the clock and getting minimal sleep, anything becomes a pillow.

Your little one is going to spend a significant portion of time on the floor, so why not make it pleasant for them? This round area rug is sure to captivate developing eyes.  Or this portable play mat, which can be rolled out at a moment's notice.

Books, books, books! My favorite part of any room, especially a nursery. These wooden bookshelves come in numerous colors to add a little life into the room. Or how about these futuristic metal expandable shelves! Now all you need is books. Rocket Science for Babies by Chris Ferrie and Hello World! Solar System by Jill McDonald are great additions to any collection.

But you can't have bare walls! If retro posters are more your style try these. If you favor a more minimalist style, consider these delicate constellation wall decals which come in silver, gold or black.

Every nursery needs easily accessible storage. These bins will get the job done. And they'll do it while looking adorable!

Brianna:​ I can't get enough of cute storage solutions! Love this set!

No outer space themed nursery is complete until you add the finishing touch - the telescope! This one from Geosafari is the perfect first telescope for little stargazers!
