Furniture (Crib/Dresser, etc) color: White, Wood, or Other? We are planning on going with white because I think it will work well for boy or girl in the future and we bought a used dresser that will be much easier to paint than refinish and stain to match a crib
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? This is going to be my big splurge for the nursery I think, I definitely want an upholstered glider with an ottoman
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? It will be specifically boy or girl once we find out the sex
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? Carpet - I would like to tear up the carpet as we did in our LR/DR but both all of the bedrooms still have carpet and if we did one we should do them all and that's too much to do/spend right now
Baby's name on the wall or no? I'm leaning towards yes but not sure how I'm goign to do it yet.
Other must-haves? Bookshelves full of books and some sort of toybox/baskets for the shelves to keep the clutter hidden.
Furniture (Crib/Dresser, etc) color: White, Wood, or Other? We're going with all white furniture. I think it looks very clean and fresh, and will work for either gender.
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? I already have a rocker that I'm going to re-paint white. We also have a glider that won't match a single thing in the nursery, so we'll keep that downstairs and put the rocker in the baby's room.
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? We're going with gender neutral!
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? Carpet
Baby's name on the wall or no? Nope
Other must-haves? We're thinking about doing one of those cubby/cube storage units to keep clutter down, and have a place for everything.
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? Upholstered
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? The room is already painted green and will stay that way regardless of the gender, we will add pink/blue accents depending on gender
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? Wood floor
Baby's name on the wall or no? maybe
Other must-haves? a bookshelf, storage for toys, fun artwork, and frames for pictures
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered Rocker (had to sell mine for lack of space and I'm still regretting it a year later - it was sooooo comfy)
Gender neutral (but we always planned on more kids and it's a good thing we did that since we have one of each)
Carpet (we had wood floors and I hated it - needed lots of rugs)
Baby's name on the wall or no? Yes, we did for both LOs
Other must-haves? Don't get a diaper stacker, waste of money and space. Must have a small side table next to rocker/glider for a clock and glass of water.
Rocker/glider: Have wood rocker with pad matched to nursery decor
Boy/girl specific
I prefer wood floors in bedrooms but currently have carpet and that's fine too
Not necessarily name, but I love vinyl decals with images or sayings (DS's Peter Pan theme had "Off to Neverland..." above his crib)
If I have a girl, I definitely want either a small chandelier or a canopy...something girlie and for any child, a regular sized bookcase FILLED with books is a must!
A possibility was born the day you were born and will live as long as you live.
..............................
Furniture (Crib/Dresser, etc) color: White, Wood, or Other? We're doing wood (for either), it's the "espresso" color.
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? Ours is upholstered, but looks like a rocking chair with wood paneling (not the recliner kind).
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? Specifically boy or girl.
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? Carpet.
Baby's name on the wall or no? Not sure yet. Probably, to take up some space.
Other must-haves? I'm really just not sure at this point but will have some more ideas once we know the sex. I definitely want a really cute lamp that coordinates with the room, and I want super cute curtains. I know, they're trivial things, but I look forward to them.
Furniture (Crib/Dresser, etc) color: White, Wood, or Other? leaning towards white but have yet to find a nursery image that knocks my socks off, so this is yet TBD.
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? upholstered would probably be a heck of a lot more comfy, so i'm going with that.
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? ive lately been inspired by white/cream nurseries- definitely gender-neutral- we're team green, but i think i'd choose that route regardless.
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? i like the idea of the carpet with a decorative area rug.
Baby's name on the wall or no? no.
Other must-haves? love the look that a chandelier brings to a nursery- boy or girl.
Furniture (Crib/Dresser, etc) color: White, Wood, or Other? We're going with Maple (natural) wood. We already had a dresser and nightstand, so we just need to buy the crib & we found one we really like at BRU
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? We are going to be buying a recliner that rocks. I convinced DH to go along with this by saying that it could be "his" after the baby gets a little older. We'll buy a khaki colored one so that it will match the babies room as well as our living room furniture for later
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? Gender specific, although I can't handle too much pink, so if it's a girl it will be pink with a lot of green/yellow
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? Carpet
Baby's name on the wall or no? Not sure yet, maybe...maybe just initials, maybe nothing?!?!?
Other must-haves? We're thinking about getting a cube storage unit to keep clutter down, and have a place for everything, but I'd really want a bookshelf and I'm not sure we'll have room for both
Furniture (Crib/Dresser, etc) color: White, Wood, or Other? Espresso
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? We are going to be getting a huge comfy chair that rocks - it is our splurge, but will be comfy for both of us.
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? Gender Specific
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? Carpet
Baby's name on the wall or no? Yes
Other must-haves? Armoire (thank goodness we're getting one for free from my cousin) and cute curtains.
Furniture (Crib/Dresser, etc) color: White, Wood, or Other? Dark wood
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? Upholstered rocker recliner (picking it up tomorrow!)
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? neutral
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? Wood with a rug. We're actually getting new floors and this was the catalyst.
Baby's name on the wall or no? Probably not.
Other must-haves? As much as I'd love to have a chandelier with a dimmer, we're sticking with the fan to keep air moving. I'm planning to do wall mounted sconces though around the room for dimmable light.
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? We're not doing the rocker/glider. We have a chair that is kinda similar that we'll use instead (though not as comfy).
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? Gender specific.
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? We carpeted all the bedrooms 2 years ago so carpet it is!
Baby's name on the wall or no? Yes. This is our first baby and I think it will be cute and something for the child to reference as their name from an early age.
Other must-haves? Bookshelf, cubby for toys, changing table, and maybe a play mat for when the child gets older.

Hannah-10/25/08
Furniture (Crib/Dresser, etc) color: White, Wood, or Other? White wood. with my other two it was cherry wood, but I think white looks cleaner with a nautical themed nursery.
Rocker/Glider: Upholstered, Wooden or Other? Neither. Have just a regular upholstered antique chair in there for midnight nursing. It's floral in a pretty, delicate way, but have covered it with a blue blanket! lol
Gender neutral or specifically boy/girl? Well, it really is more for a boy, but since it's my last nursery I want the cute nursery I want and a little girl would look adorable in it. DH is Navy so I think it's cute.
Carpet or Wood/Tile floors? The cheapest, ugliest color of brown carpet you could imagine. (Mil housing, der.)
Baby's name on the wall or no? Maybe, we had it with DS but not DH. If this is a boy he'll have a short name, so may splurge on it.
Other must-haves? black-out curtains for nap time. My kids could never sleep with ANY light in the room. And a small table by the rocker/glider/chair for nursing. it's invaluable for putting your book, lansinoh cream for nipples, and nursing pads on. I always read at night, it was the only way to stay awake!
