Nurseries and Baby Gear

Opinions Needed

Just posted this on SAL, but wanted more input.

So I know it's early for me to be looking at nursery decor, but I really want to knit my baby a blanket.  It's a project that will keep me busy while I'm pregnant and will be something special for them to have as they grow.  But before I start knitting, I would like to know what the nursery will look like so the blanket can match.  We will find out gender eventually, but want the nursery to be neutral so we can use it again in the future.  The two I am looking at are these:

 I think I like the ducks and frogs better but DH likes the safari animals better.  Let me know what you think!

Re: Opinions Needed

  • Sorry, I like the 2nd better as well.  I like the colors better and the more modern/simple look.  The first is really not my style.
  • We chose to do the same thing.  Go with something neutral that can be used for future nursery for a 2nd child.  I like both patterns and both will look great, but if you want to pull in pink for a girl and blue for a boy I think the frog patter will work better for allowing you to do that.  I think the animal pattern will limit you to the browns and greens and it might be hard to pull in the pinks for a girl and blues for a boy (if you have any intent on doing that).  As soon as we found out it was a girl I wanted to pull in some pinks and purples into the room to help make it look like it was a nursery made for her, and if we end up having a boy the second time I will pull in more blues so that it looks like a nursery for him. 

    I just think you will have more options with what you can do to make it more gender specific with accessories with the frog pattern.

  • Can I just say, KNITTING!?

    ?

    That is usually my reaction to anyone knitting because it is beyond me.

    ?

    If you are going to find out the gender then why don't you just wait to get the nursery? I would be the one to change my mind and want to return it.

    ?That my not help with the knitting thing. Maybe buy both then knit a blanket for both and drive yourself and your DG insane. ?

    I am a huge help!!

    ?Sorry!!

  • I like #2 better too. I agree with pp about the colors & being more modern. 

    Have fun knitting :) 

  • You both might need to find something else that you agree on because these sets are totally different from one another.  The second one is defintiely a modern/simple look, where the first if more of a traditional baby beddding set.  Both are pretty, but I like the second one the best, but of course that's the look that we are going for in our nursery.
