I don't know the sex yet but we already know what we're doing. It's going to be a Harry Potter themed nursery!!
Probably not nearly as detailed as these people (http://www.buzzfeed.com/farrahpenn/these-parents-created-a-harry-potter-themed-nursery-and-it-i?utm_term=.rj9y6r9no), but I'm really excited about it!!
Our nursery is pretty small...but I want to do something kind of gender neutral. I love this idea...and I know I want to incorporate a similar light fixture, the giant bunny decal, and a sheepskin type pelt rug over a larger area rug.
I am doing navy blue, white and orange/rust with a fox theme. I got these sheets This pattern for the changing pad and crib skirt I will be making some sort of wall decor with this inspiration.

Our walls are already grey, and we're not planning on doing major painting, but we may do this for one wall only with blue and green instead of the yellow. I'll do some DIY stuff for the walls, my moms crocheting a blanket with the colors we want. I bought the sheet and crib skirt from this set. It hasn't come yet, so I'm not 100% sure we'll use it, but I like the softness of the colors My parents are getting rid of a hideous rocker they have. I'm going to get a slip cover for it and it should make the perfect chair for the nursery. Tl;dr: I have tons of ideas floating around right now, just have to pull them all together.

We decided on doing a woodland animals thing for the baby's room. Owls, foxes, bears etc. We're painting the walls a pale green and I'd like to get some wall art like the one below.

We are staying team green so going for a neutral decor. We just painted the walls a light blue-grey and will do grey, gold, and white colors for now. After baby is born, we will add more navy or yellow for a boy or coral for a girl. I am making zoo animal art like this on my silhouette.

We already have some pictures of lighthouses and scenery in the area, and our nursery furniture is white. So it will be meaningful and also super easy.
Am I the only one singing the little mermaid song in their head after seeing pippacricket's pic?
Nope, but it's always in my head lately since I let DD watch it in the van.
'Darling it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me' always pops in my head - that line seems so dirty to me after hearing it a thousand times.

We're doing red, white, navy, light blue and grey. I'll take a pic when we finally hand the dang prints I got. DH put the new crib together today and I can't wait to see it when I get hm!
This baby will take over DS1's room and he DS will get a new room. Our current nursery has beige-ish yellow walls (rental so I can't paint) so we went with navy, yellow and white.
Here are some pics I took around this time last year.
Also, DS's new room won't be fancy. We will hopefully be moving around this time next year so it won't be worth the hassle to do anything super cutesy.
I think we are going to go more along the lines of gray, pink, and gold. Beyond those colors, I do want to incorporate some kind of theme, but I don't know what yet. Anyway, we want something along these lines:
I think I'm missing some kind of gene, I didn't really do a "theme" or decorate DS1's room, and I can't really say I'll do much the second time around. Got a couple pictures for the wall, but that's about it. Do I suck at being a Mom?

+1, the pictures ended up being of animals, but that's about it...

f14mama and sodapop - For me I see it as a way to get a Harry Potter themed room into my house without people thinking it's weird an adult couple has a Harry Potter themed room, lol. If we weren't doing an HP room I would have bought the picture below and just done paint colors and other decorations that worked with it. No theme. Actually part of me is really sad I won't be able to use this in the room because I love it and think it's so adorable.
I don't think there's anything wrong with not having a theme. For me, I like to have some theme in mind because it makes it easier to decorate. Otherwise I'd decorate a room with roosters and elephants and chevron then twitch every time I saw it.
In my own house, I should specify. I don't care about other people's decor choices since I don't have to see it all the time.
+1 for this. The type A in me needs a theme to keep me on task
We're team green, and we got this bedding set for the nursery. We'll be re-using DD's crib, dresser, and book case (she's getting big girl furniture whenever she's ready to ditch the crib), so I don't have to pick out much else!
