@bacorrea I love the playroom! And you're right, its great having one when possible. We have one now that we have our own house. Before, most of the toys would be in the living room. It's so nice to see DD go in there and play independently here and there. The mess on the other hand though...
I did my my best without your help @bacorrea! It's not AW worthy but at least it's finally somewhat clean! I've got the bug to redecorate in there. Must prioritize...
@livin541 , that's totally my type of playroom...I like playrooms that don't necessarily look overrun with toys (even though they likely are). High five!
Thanks guys! I wish I had a before picture... it typically looks like a toy tornado blew through. Fingers crossed the orgnanizatonal measures I took help with that!
I'm having the hardest time finding sports decor that I actually like for the nursery! I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and nothing was what I wanted. Pottery Barn Kids has no sports related decor anymore, I snagged the crib sheet before they discontinued it at least. I'm starting to regret agreeing to a "sports nursery" like DH wanted!

Only a few prep things left to do. Planning to make the banner for above the crib and get a couple little white floating shelves for above lockers. Edit to say sorry these are giant. I have no idea how to make them smaller.
Thanks everyone! I love this room and only made a few tweaks for new baby. The dresser I refinished with my mom and the art are my absolute favorite. @starphish18The block art IS 3D! @rkstro2 It was a awesome find at TJ Maxx! This is a pic of the info on the back.
We painted our room a nice soft blue-grey color and because we have plenty of paint left over were considering using the same one for the nursery. Don't mind the tape, were prepping the trims to put a fresh coat on them!

Thanks for including this! I will be on the lookout because I love love love it!
We updated the wall art today in the nursery. The room was gender neutral, but I added purple accents when DD was born. This was all painted/made by me or family/friends. The wooden board was made by my grandpa, and I'll add family pictures to it.
@emilyalso lol! It's actually really stupid because I can't bring myself to buy art for my house because I'm like I could/should just custom make what I want instead but never actually do... so blank walls it is
@KMD1106 there's a good chance I'm totally stealing that alphabet wall art idea. It's pretty awesome!
Steal away! I actually found it on Pinterest and one of my best friends made it for us as a gift when I was pregnant with DD. I have since painted most of them again to match our colors now.

I got off work early today so I spent the rest of the day decorating with all my treasures I've been buying over the last few weeks! A little AW of me to resurrect this thread but I had a great time decorating
I think I'm done with the nursey for now. I'm trying to find money for a glider and I'll put some pictures of the baby up on left wall as soon as we get some. We have to put a hold on spending right now until we figure out daycare cost and make sure we have enough money set aside to cover maternity leave.
Finally! We did it! We got the little ones' room done. DD and new baby will eventually be sharing a room, so we had to get it ready for DD's toddler bed to be delivered tomorrow. The black on the bottom of the chair rail is chalkboard paint, and my artistic toddler has been working on a mural. I made the art above the crib from melted crayon. Yes, those are glow in the dark stars.
@MrsFreeman112 I love it! We have a potter nursery too and did the same shelf! It's not done so I haven't shared yet. I've almost done it all just so I can share it on here.

We originally planned a full potter nursery but I didn't want to order so much specialty stuff so just went with adventure in general. But on one wall is a stag head picture that a friend is cross stitching "always" on to add some more potterness
The first picture is all of, or at least most of, our stuff from the shower. Have it laid out so MIL can see it once we can Skype with her still need to get some pictures and hang the curtains, but progress has been made!

I love everyone's rooms! Decorating the nursery was one of my favorite things during my pregnancy with DS1. This time around DS2 will be in our room for a bit and then we will transition our older son to a big boy room! He is only 18 months so we figure around his second birthday in September we will move him out and move new baby in! These are some pictures of his room!
Also, for anyone looking for awesome name wall decor I found an Etsy shop I plan on ordering a name plate from for DS1 new room! This is an example of her work on Instagram!

The mamaroo will be going in our living room, so it just hanging out until closer to time.
