Let's talk nurseries! Share your themes, inspiration pics, progress pics, etc. I want to see it all!
(PS I would advise against an all white nursery.

Re: Nursery Thread!
Sooo anyway. My current idea is a white crib, with this sheet
This ruffle "bedskirt"
This framed above the bed (haven't decided what color frame, I like how it looks framed in black and that could maybe tie with the bedframe? But I don't know if that's too dark for a nursery/above the crib)
And this rug that'll go between the crib and bed as an attempt to tie things together somewhat.
ETA - I hope all these links work, I copied off our registry lol
I've been starting to think of what to do for DD's new room, and I think I found some prints on etsy that I like and will just pull the colors from those for other parts of her room. Prints are in the bottom half of this spoiler. I did just buy both of those sheets this weekend (she's staying in the crib, so I'm not going all out with bedding sets or anything). I haven't sold MH on the chair yet, but I think it's so fun! And we read to her every night so we need somewhere to sit since the glider is staying in the nursery.
@b_1029 for the crib sheet, I wonder if this one would look better b/c of the gray.... or maybe it would be too gray? Either way, I think everything will look fine. The only thing that made me wonder is that the centers of those flowers on the one you linked are brown and I wonder if it'll look right with all the gray.
I almost think you don't even need the rug. Not that it's bad, just that everything will tie together just fine without it.
We have this nursery set (don't tell me you hate this... I'm not taking it back
I think we're going to go with this paint color, but lightened up quite a bit b/c the room is small and the furniture is so dark
I ordered these prints, but could return them if needed. They'll either go over the crib or the dresser.... likely the crib
Half considering this clothes hamper (or the white one that's $30 cheaper right now lol)
And I'm thinking of doing little accents all around, like some of the stuff here.. most will likely be over the dresser that we'll use as a changing table. I definitely want a "something tells me I am going to love him forever" framed piece and really like the string of wooden beads with tassels on the ends. Also the magnolia wreath is cute.
We'll likely also do a cream or white glider/recliner

ETA: @b_1029 I would definitely get more than one sheet for the crib anyway! Not sure if you only have one, but you'll need more!
I think it would also be nice to add a decorative sham and/or throw pillows to the guest bed - white, gray and/or any of the colors from the crib bedding. Not that it needs to all match match, they can be clearly separate areas, but for a little visual flow around the room. And I have now online shopped Bed Bath & Beyond for your room for too long lol, so I'm thinking something like one or more of these:
@stlbuckeye132 That's all so cute! Love those prints above the crib. I'm thinking of getting something like that to replace what we have above the changing table right now. We live in earthquake country so I don't hang anything heavy/potentially sharp above the crib!
@blaf322 Looks good! I really like that paint color - but even just in her photos it looks very different from one to the next, so I'm sure you know this but be sure to try a sample! I've used grays that turn SO different in different places, like way beyond what I'd expected. The safari animal prints are adorable. Again, considering something similar to add to our nursery. And that hamper is super fun. The Pinterest link won't open for me, but what you said about it I like!

Eta I was also thinking of the slate blue rug instead even though that doesn’t tie to anything crib wise- it’s just not so white and I have a weird obsession with gray and navy/blue together haha, aka what our master is.
We had sooo many issues with paint looking a totally different color in DD’s room in our old house. It almost caused a divorce with all the money I spent on samples 😂
Our idea for nursery is based around the idea of whales. We're team green but it will definitely have it's share of blues - which is my fave color so I don't care. It's sort of based on a piece of art my uncle made that we have in the room already:
We've decided on this dresser & crib:
The room has off-white paint and brown (wood) trim which we can't paint because we rent; and also a like espresso-colored dresser that we won't be moving. I'm looking for a gray rocker/glider and a rug to cover as much of the floors as possible, which ideally would be gray and baby blue and white - I'm with you on loving that color combo @b_1029 ! If we end up being thoughtful enough to have an accent color, it'll probably be yellow.
Some other fun things I registered for within the whale/ocean theme:
One of my siblings bought these for some decor. Then once we know the gender I’m hoping to add more of the corresponding color in a cute rug, pillow/blanket for the chair, Sheets. And other wall decor. (Realizing making this a more girly nursery will be a bit more tough, but I’m okay keeping it more neutral)
We bought/Or was gifted these for our big furniture. My sister has the same recliner in a different color and I fell in love with it during my 3am snuggle sessions with my niece
so far we have ordered this crib and furniture from Target:
and i think i want this chair because its so big and cozy, but its pricey, haha:
and then we're going to get this pattern of crib sheets and blankets:

and then decorations/accents like these (i for sure want the mobile, but everything else is just to get ideas):

@nursejenn5 I love that!!! Pink isn't the only way to insert girl into the nursery! Why do boys get so many more "themes"?
@knockupthestock that set of bunny/flower prints is the cutest thing I've seen all day. For the paint, would you be interested in trying 3 light green walls and one darker green accent wall?
@hbird0723 that's beautiful!! So light and calm
@beckylookatherbump I am loving the idea of a star wars theme, that's so fun. Make a home for baby Yoda!!!
DD is getting a beach themed room. She loves the water so much, it is amazing. She will keep the crib for now, which is white. Her dresser is a darker wood and I can’t decide if I want to give that to brother and get her a new one that matches the eventual big girl bed she will get (I have antique twin bed frames that have been in my family over 100 years, they were in my room as a kid and will go to DD now). I also can’t decide if I want to keep her glider in her room or just put a chair or beanbag in her room. Definitely a sitting place so we can still cuddle. I wish our glider reclined, so I may splurge for a new one and keep the one I have with her. He’s not getting much new, so I feel like I can justify buying a nice glider.
@mehugg that's not a bad idea! the only thing is the room that will be our nursery is a funky layout so im not sure how itll work (see spoiler). we've tossed around the idea of an accent wall though! its just funky with those slanted ceilings.

It's so fun to see everyone's nursery designs!!
This is what we have so far. We don't have a set theme but the vibe we are going for is a mix of natural, mid-century mod, boho, and nature...? IDK.
Crib (baby letto lolly)/accent wall color (behr-vine green).
This is the chair going in there - that we already have - from Ikea (strandmon)
The light fixture we are thinking about putting in - also from Ikea (sinnerlig)
I don't have a picture of it, but we have an old mid-century low boy that we are using as a dresser/changing table.
I'd like to get a pouf for the chair, as well as a side table, rug, and maybe some shelving to put in there.
