Anyone not going to have a nursery?

I'm still early in my pregnancy but already thinking about the nursery.  We have a one bedroom and will be sharing the room with our baby.  Our bedroom is fairly large and has a little side room (within the bedroom) thing with a window, but the walls are very low and slant on each side. I'm not great at explaining this Sad  I'm thinking of just making it a little room for the baby until we'll be able to move, but can't find any ideas for the room anywhere..

Any ideas on how to decorate a room for both you and the baby? 

thanks

    Consider a mini-crib if you are short on space.  Also, place a changing pad and a diaper caddy atop your dresser instead of getting a changing table.   I would keep the decorations simple and not too juvenile since the baby won't notice anyway. 

    I know many people who didn't have a separate nursery because they co-slept or because they only had one bedroom.  They were fine and one couple actually just used a pack n play with changer on the top for the changing table.

    I am in the same boat as you are! The walls in my room are a simple beige, and my bed is white/dark brown (very simple). I plan on making the baby's section of the room the main focus. I am painting the wall where the crib will be a light shade of blue, I feel like this will set his part of the room apart from the rest. I plan on hanging pictures above the crib. I am thinking of doing 3 black and white photos. One of me and DH, one of my maternity belly, and a first picture of DS.

    The baby's crib will be placed in our guest bedroom, we can't get rid of our guest room because my mom stays there when she visits from Florida and so does DH's family. I am simply buying a crib (black) to match the bed  and room decor.

    We aren't sure if we will set up a nursery as we are anticipating a big move shortly after the baby is born. We will most likely by the furniture but not clear out a room. Instead I will probably get a cradle on wheels that we can have in our bedroom at first. Only thing I will miss is the nesting phase of preparing a room, but I still have 8 months to go so a lot can change.

    have you looked at round cribs? they are cute and don't take up as much room.
