I agree that some simple accents would easily complete the room (not necessarily in pink). I think it'd also be neat to add a little more color to the bed - maybe 1 or 2 pillows or even a little stuffed animal that tie the huge amount of sage with the curtain colors? A small rug might also work well, depending on the overall size of the room. I, too, am busy making our first set of curtains for the nursery. It's going to be a series of panels on a double curtain rod - so that we have the front panels with blackout fabric (no or minimal light) and the back rod to have eyelet curtains (softer or a little more light) and if all curtains are pushed out of the way then the option of full light. Ours coordinate with the room wall colors and white molding. The curtains much improve the room. I agree that some simple accents would easily complete the room (not necessarily in pink).

I'm with you - we always use the straight lines of our hardwood floors as guides for everything from making sure furniture and rugs are in line to cutting large pieces of fabric. Good eye. :) ~ Liz Janis,

Your new paisley curtains look fabulous! And it looks like you are onto one of my favorite tricks: using the edge of a plank of hardwood flooring for a cutting guide.
