My first nursery idea board... WDYT?

goodgalpal

Looking for honest opinions please.

This is a gender neutral nursery. I wanted it to be fun and bright, affordable, and able to grow with the child.

Thinking of white, or aqua colored walls but am open to suggestions.

The crib would be the white one shown, with the two bedding sets so it could be alternated. The larger red bedding set with animals all over would be going on a twin bed that would also be in the room for myself or DH to sleep on when needed, and eventually the child would have the twin bed and the crib would be taken out.

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

ETA: the dots are the print on the crib sheet. We are considering doing polka dots on the walls to coordinate with that, but we might just do it on an accent wall. Haven't decided.

I like it a lot - its very clean but bright and playful. I think you can accessorize it one way or the other depending on gender of the baby. I think most of that stuff is from IKEA right? I love the stuff they have, it's all very fun!

Yes, a lot of the things are from Ikea.

This is the white Gulliver crib, the duvet covers for the crib bedding is from Ikea, and the same for the twin size. The stuffed animals shown are Ikea, and the mesh toy organizer is from too. The "alien" nightlights again are also from Ikea. I really like the fun and bright accessories they have.

I have some other things I like but I can't find photos online for them. We have an older dresser that we'd paint white to go with the other furniture and it would be used as a changing table. 

At least this gives the basic feeling and ideas for what I'm thinking of.

I like it! It's really fun, and I definitely think it will be okay for several years since it isn't overly "babyish".

I love the colors!!!! Amazing combo! Love the mobile also! Where is it from? I get a lot of my ideas from places like Flickr or blogs like spearmint baby or littlemissheirlooms....

 

How did you make up a idea board? I see others do it and havent figured out how to make one yet!

I love it...I'm going with all the bright colors like that too.

Thanks for the nice comments so far. I appreciate the feedback. If other people come and look, please post so I can get your thoughts too.

I did the idea board on www.polyvore.com and then I emailed it to myself, saved the pic, and uploaded it to www.photobucket.com and used the code from there to post it here. It took a while for me to figure out how to do it since nobody told me how. LOL!

My mobile is LITERALLY my mobile... it is the one from when I was a baby that my parents saved and gave me. It has little wooden circus animals on it. I did find a similar one for the photo on the idea board at uniquekids.com.au
