Modern nursery decor to welcome babies, without a princess crown or a train in sight.

It's been a while since I found handmade modern nursery decor and crib bedding that made me yearn (almost) for an opportunity to redecorate a nursery, and I've definitely found it with the Ivie Baby Etsy Shop. You can choose from tons of modern designs. I think what I like best is how they're all gender-neutral and free from baby room clichés; no ballerinas, no airplanes, no bunny rabbits. Those graphic grey and white crib sheets or lime green pillows are perfect for any baby who gets to spend those early months amidst a modern nursery -- and are an especially smart option for parents having "one of each" twins and struggling with color themes. Along with bedding sets and blankets, it's nice to discover pretty Boppy covers and changing pad covers, which tend to be limited in terms of design in the big stores.

Elizabeth Ivie has each piece of beautiful fabric custom-printed, then hand-sews each item to order, and I love that kind of craftsmanship. It also explains the 4-8 week ship time, but hey, if you've got 40 weeks to wait in the first place, certainly you can squeeze a month or two in there to get your nursery decor together.
