Decorate my Nursery

[happymama]

A solar system mobile would be cute, check ravelry if you want to crochet one. I don't do bedding sets either, DD still only sleeps on a sheet. You could just get a solid red and solid navy sheet for the crib to keep it simple, and save the cute details for the walls.

just get plain bedding in your color scheme. I bought pottery barn navy and polkadot fitted sheets and then their bed skirt. (not that much $$ and they wash and last well - going on 3 years) they also have some geometric patterns right now in navy $19 for the sheet. Or use Amazon - I got a back up red sheet for DS room. I painted the wall behind DS crib a deep blue almost navy as an accent wall. Then accessorize with the space theme - pictures, art, lighting. Maybe a planet mobile? Do you use pinterest? thats a great way to get ideas

or do something with stars - that could be really cute

I'm not creative and don't know how much effort you want to put into it - but maybe paint or put up plastic stars in the shapes of constellations? I'd probably do it on a wall instead of a ceiling just for my own comfort, but I can imagine doing a few constellations prominent in the sky in the month he was born.

I only got this idea because we went to an open house recently and the family had painted the ENTIRE ceiling in one child's bedroom as a night sky, complete with constellations. And I think the constellations were in the correct position relative to each other. Now that's dedication.

As to warmer sheets, I had a lot of success on Amazon. My son really likes chenille sheets for the softness, and they come in several colors. www.amazon.com/American-Baby-Company-Heavenly-Chenille/dp/B008R5S8R2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426098188&sr=8-1&keywords=chenille+crib+sheets Not sure if those are too warm for Texas, but it probably depends on the temperature of the room.

Theme-ing a nursery is definitely not my specialty. (Mine doesn't have one. It's beige, and I have lots of random kid stuff in it, and minimal decoration other than what others got for us.) But I just want to say yours sounds cute. Will you PIP when you're done with it? (I still haven't figured out PIP on here, so I understand if you won't.)

Love the theme!

What about star mirrors? Especially hung near a lamp to add a bit of sparkle. www.mirrormaniac.co.uk/stars-out-of-star-shaped-mirror-256-p.asp

A planetarium would look awesome! I like the glow stars idea but I had them when a was a teen and I was forever trying to get them to stick to the ceiling. They were really cool when up though. www.hearthsong.com/Fun-with-Science/Deep-Space-Planetarium-and-Projector.htm?utm_source=LinkShare&utm_medium=affiliates&aff=10484&siteID=.GszsJVSVt0-B1J.E8n9J76uBlj3pnZT3A

Wall decals would be easy too. I'm digging these things as well www.fablebedworks.com/2014/01/17/decorating-kids-bedrooms-perfect-outer-space-theme-bedroom/

Wow, Google has some awesome space themed bedrooms! Omg I want to be a kid/teen again and have an outerspace room!!!

Something like this for his name?

Maybe you could do a planet or earth painting with the letters of his name on it
