I need ideas for "over the crib" wall art!

peelester429 · June 2011

So, we're Team Green... and DH and I are trying to figure out something cute/creative to do over the crib on the wall. Obviously we can't do anything with the name...

Our nursery walls are a light green, furniture is espresso, and bedding is NoJo Jungle Tales (animals, but not so much that it looks like a jungle threw up in the nursery).

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Smile

We are also team green and are thinking about doing a wall saying. These are a couple that I liked:

There are all kinds of really neat decals on etsy. I did a search and here are the results.

ETA - I gravitate towards decals because I'm paranoid of something falling off the wall into the crib. Yes I know people do it all the time, but it doesn't stop my crazy brain from going there.

We weren't team green with DD but she wasn't named until we came home. I cut pieces of brightly colored scrapbook paper and made a large "matte" collage in a frame leaving enough letters to put her name in once decided. I wish I had a picture to show you...but I can't find one at work.

We were team green with DD and are again this time. Are you doing a belly cast? If so that would be a really cool art piece you could paint/decorate or not. (I left mine white.)

Be careful with wall decals... most will work on your walls but some do not. No one told my husband and I this and we bought our girls names in a decal to put above their cribs (it was a sellar that a ton of people on here recommended for us) however the decal just didnt stick to our walls. Some places let you get a sample first to test it.
