Nursery Discussion

[goldenlove3]

I think we've talked about it in a QOTW but I wanted to dedicate a separate thread for all things nursery! We can talk about ideas, get opinions, share pictures, etc.

So do you have your nursery theme picked out yet?

Disney! Grey walls (color is called Eeyore's rain cloud) ceiling is blue (moonlight waltz) trim is off white (mickey's shadow) lol. We are team green so won't know what baby is until arrival but as a Disney fanatic, we have lots of art and collectibles!

If it's a girl, all my sleeping Beauty stuff will get hung up...

If a boy we just won't embellish anymore than it already is which is with classic and new characters every where! I just needed a kid to justify my Disney and Lego obsessions! Lol

Here are my top picks as of this minute:





I don't know if I'd buy the whole set but I like the themes/colors. We also have a couple others on the list.. one with cute animals in blue/green/grey and another one with sports animals. Oh crap, I just came across a really cute blue/grey elephant theme. Someone stop me!!

[goldenlove3]

cheshie6 I really like the Disney theme or even a Disney movie theme. I saw some Toy Story ones that were really cute! I also liked Dr. Seuss but H said no.

We were Team Green the first time around so our nursery is neutral, and we will be moving DS into his own big boy room and putting new baby in the nursery. The nursery is marine/ocean-themed with bright aqua walls. If baby is a girl I may add some coral/salmon accents like a lamp and/or curtains, but honestly it's a really cute nursery as is. I'll see if I can dig up some pics to share later on.

For DS we will be decorating his new room with trains, and painting the walls a gentle (as opposed to, like, neon) lime green. I'm Super excited for this project

goldenlove3, DS's nursery is a sports animal theme. We painted the nursery a light green color with white chair railing and then a light grey on the bottom half of the walls. I couldn't decide on a theme either. I knew I wanted animals of some sort, and MH wanted more of a sports theme, so when we found the animals playing sports we knew that was it. I wasn't planning on buying the entire nursery set, but my mom ended up gifting it to us.

I have no idea what I want to do this time. If it's another boy I'll probably just keep the same stuff that's currently in there. No clue what I would want for a girl.

We are moving DD and will put LO in her current room. The walls are green and will stay that way. I am not one to have a big theme, I have seen some adorable map prints I like so that will likely be the direction I go. We travel constantly so it fits our family too.

We'll be updating DS's room to a big boy (child proofed) room. Probably won't change the wall hangings and such - we will be moving in a year so we'll consider theme changes then. But furniture switch so we can use the nursery dresser and end table in the baby's room.

The walls in the new nursery are a pretty sage color. If it's a girl, I was thinking shades of purple with sage (or maybe rose and sage?). The furniture we are moving is gray, though I could repaint if I have a mind to. If it's a boy, I am not sure on color scheme. I haven't put any thought into a theme either.

It's hard because we will be moving in May/June next year to who knows where so I would rather spend time and money decorating the new rooms in the new house. Especially as baby will likely spend 2-3 months in our bedroom, so only another 4-5 months before we move. Anything I buy is going to be movable.

DS's nursery is nautical. Pale blue-gray walls, white furniture, and navy/white/red sailboat bedding and accessories from PBK. I absolutely love it. For another boy, we will keep everything exactly as is. DS will move to his new 'airplane' room in the next month or so (as soon as I can get my act together and finish it).

If we have a girl, we'll keep the existing blue wall color and furniture, and probably just do white bedding. I'll switch out the current navy/white drapes for something lighter/more feminine. If I could find a classic pale blue/white toile, I'd be in heaven. I love chinoiserie-inspired pieces so I would probably incorporate that into accessories, a new mirror and lamp, etc.

The 2 kids rooms are connected by a jack-and-jill bath, so I want the bedrooms to coordinate with that space (walls are same blue/gray as nursery, with white, tan, and indigo blue accents). DH's new room has light khaki walls.

I have picked out a color scheme. I will be reusing navy, grey, and white elements from my son's nursery and adding salmon, mint, and sparkly gold. I'll try to add a pic later.

Those are great colors peanutmuse!

L is still in her crib so we'll be keeping her stuff. I am going to update her rose, green, and gold room to a more definite theme of vintage rose garden mint and rose layered curtains, mint accent wall, rose print rug, and art with vintage flowers and birdhouses.

We were going to do a forest theme when I wanted to be team green. Since we are not...I have some ideas.

For a boy I want to do a nautical theme. Navy, white, and tiny bits of red. Sailboats, anchors, a compass for decorations.


For a girl I have two ideas. Aqua, pink, grey, and maybe lavender with elephants. I've found a bunch of art on Etsy with this theme and they are so cute!


I also thought of black, bright green, hot pink, and white with forest animals and trees. It'd be a bit of an unconventional forest, but I already have the green curtains, rugs, and lamp from L's room since she's getting an update. Thoughts?


Edited to add pics.

jubilantsquirrel, I like the idea of splitting the walls in half with two colors.

We're going to have the kids share a room so, we'll be moving E and everything into the new room. We wanted a forest theme for E but never really pulled it together so, I was thinking of continuing with that theme and making more of an effort. Wall art and/or maybe a nature decal. We'll probably paint the walls grey or some other neutral color. Boy or girl I think nature inspired would be nice and a good fit for our family.

E will have a "big boy" bed once we get the new room prepped and ready to go. Anyone else kind of feel like there's no time to do this stuff with a toddler around? I know we can but would prefer for E to not be around while we're prepping the new room, for ease of mind.

I love all the ideas you have all posted. Helps me get excited about getting a room ready for B2.
