Hi Enerad. What a great day you had.
We painted, fully furnished and stocked our nursery before our first home visit for the homestudy. We enclosed a photo as part of our profile. It was not hard or depressing at all for me. In fact, it affirmed that, in the future, (while completely out of my control) there would be a baby there. We chose bright colors with Mission style furniture. We started a collection of books. The changing table was completely full of diapers, wipes, washed wash rags and clothes (gender neutral). It was vacant for a year with our Great Dane occasionally poking her head in and lying on the carpet. We were happy to be so prepared, as the call for our daughter came quickly and left us with little time.
It was VERY important to me that no one have input but hubby and me; our friends and family would not have tried anyway. But I had a clear idea of what I wanted. Good luck however you choose to prepare.
