Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? She was in a PNP in our room for the first 6 months, but she has her own bedroom.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? The walls are painted purple, the furniture is dark gray, the bedding is black and white damask. And there are pops of lime green for fun.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? I think we got most of our stuff from amazon.

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? Most of it is in her closet. We also have a storage ottoman in the living room so we hide toys in there when we have to do a quick clean up.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! Not in our current house. Our new house has an upstairs game room, so we will probably put some of E's bigger toys up there.

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? We are moving at the end of the month, or beginning of November, so I will have a lot to do! Re-doing E's room (probably identical to her current room, is that pathetic?) plus a new baby room - eek! And the babies will have a shared bathroom, so I want to make it a cute baby bathroom too.

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? We have moved twice since DS was born, once since DD#1 was born, and not since DD#2 was born. DS has his own room, DD has hers and DD#2 is still in our room in a pnp. She did not do well sharing with DS (the extra crib is in his room). This weekend, I hope to move DD#1 and DD#2 in together. I feel like that will go a whole lot better!

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? DS's room is a transportation theme. Trains, trucks, construction stuff. DD#1's room is still the baby stuff - green walls with bunny meadow curtains, and white furniture. She will be getting more pink/green when we move her to her big girl bed!

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? Target and Zulily

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? Playroom

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! Playroom - it is a sunroom off of our dining room. Gated, fairly small (like 12x12 maybe), has a big chair and a half, kids table and chairs, train table, play kitchen, potterybarn anywhere chairs, and dress up stuff. It is a disaster!

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? Fixing up all of their rooms!

PennyLane26 · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? Grace has always had her own room (she slept in our room for the first 3 months) , future babies will also have their own room rather than a shared nursery.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? No theme, but the walls are lavender, furniture and curtains are white, bedding and decor is a blush pink.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? I love Land of Nod and PBKIds for bedding,rugs, and windows but a lot of decor came from Homegoods- I always have good luck there!

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? We have an empty room that will eventually become G's playroom.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! Our playroom is not cute right now, but will be hopefully! We are redoing it in the spring and it will consist of: blueish color scheme with pops of coral, gray/blue walls with beadboard, a colorful rug, a half barn door, a play table and chairs and comfy seating!

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? A new playroom planned for construction next summer!

PennyLane26 · October 2013

@TJ1979 so exciting to see you thinking about plans for baby#2!!

JBDamonM · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? LO has her own room - she has been in there since about 3.5 months but she still often gets moved to her RNP next to me in the MOTN. Not sure why, but she goes back to sleep much better there.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? Ironically, the only thing I was upset about when I found out LO was a girl was the nursery. I had a great boy theme picked out and couldn't find anything I liked for a girl. So there's no theme. The walls are green, and she has this AWESOME bright pink and cream patterned rug from PBK that is the focal point. Furniture is espresso.....Her room still needs some wall shelving and wall decor and probably won't be toally complete until she's 1 (slacker much!?!??)

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? PBK

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? Umm.... I don't! Half kidding, but true story her toys have taken over our house way too much.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! We have a back room that was once a screened in porch, now turned full room. This will be her play room but first we need to replace the windows, get the carpet cleaned and get it painted. I am hopeful we can do this by the end of the year. I can't wait to get her in there, especially as she gets older and plays more.

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? See above, we need to get that room up and running so she has a designated space in the house.

kbeach82 · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? V has his own room that he has been in since he was born, and the twins share a room right now.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? V's is jungle themed, with a concentration on monkeys :-) We are thinking about going with either a space or vintage airplane theme when we redo his room (he's 2.5, so probably almost time to redecorate). The twins' room is dark gray, with accents in white and yellow. They have a mural of birch trees and bird silhouettes behind their cribs that I am in love with and chevron print on their crib skirts.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? We have a few custom pieces from Etsy in V and the twins' rooms that I am really happy with.

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? In the basement.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! We have a finished basement, so we are able to keep most of the kids' toys down there. It's nothing special, but it is a casual, cozy space. We have a huge toy box down there, as well as a kid-sized table/chairs for coloring, etc. We also keep V's riding toys down there since we don't have a garage. There is a nice wooden toy box in our living room and some shelving to hold books, a craft box, etc. on the main floor of our house.

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? We will probably redecorate V's room when he turns 3. My first baby is probably ready for a big boy room. Sigh. It will be fun letting him pick some things out on his own though, once we decide between a space or airplane theme.

pb_bride · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning?

M's room used to be our guest room. He spent the first 4 months in our room (with his crib), then we moved him and his crib to his room.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme?

We are renters, so we haven't done anything "baby'ish" to M's room. It's pretty much the same as it was when it was used as a guest room. There is a theme though - TRAVEL! I have put up lots of photo collages of pictures I took when I traveled in Europe.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor?

Not applicable, see above

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear?

His room has a closet where I store things he hasn't grown into yet. His regular toys are in the living room. We have 2 storage shelving units for his books.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it!

Wish we have a playroom for him!

It's really just our living room at this point.

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places?

None until we buy a house, then I will start thinking about projects...

ccam · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? We've moved once since DS was born. He was in our room in our transition apartment and in our room in the new house until about 4 months. He now has his own room.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? No theme in DS's room, but it's super cozy! It's a light aqua color and the wall behind his crib is white and aqua stripes. There are pops of gray and orange.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? I mostly shopped for deals online but also found great accessories in places like Home Goods and Marshalls.

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? Right now, in our coat closet or in baskets.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! We do have a separate office/playroom that we will use in the future when DS can play by himself. For now, we have a playmat in between our kitchen and living room (open floor plan). We just bought a big bookcase with baskets to hide some of his toys. His stuff is usually contained to that area.

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? We just went to Ikea this weekend for a bookshelf and baskets for his toys. I want to finish decorating that area. I also have a ton of fabric to make pillows for his room that I have to finish.

mcgeeva · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? Yes his room. No we moved 2 months ago now so he is in another room.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? He had a monkey themed room now it's all green with one wall that has grey and orange stripes on it with a big football with his name. Figured we moved we should give him a big boy room.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? Ikea for a light, rest we did on our own. We didn't buy the comforter sets etc because I think it's a waste.

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? Babies r us or handme downs.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! In our basement - hasn't been touched since we moved. Will be orange squares with a golf theme. For now all his toys are in our living room spread all over the place

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? Work on painting his playroom and finish touching up paint in his bedroom.

TJ1979 · October 2013

@Ducky719 We have this one. It has tons of storage space, plus the cushions flip over to make trays to set drinks and stuff. If your living room isn't that big, it also comes in 2 boxes instead of 4. It is awesome for stashing E's toys really quickly if company is coming. Just thought I'd share.

Mr. & Mrs. Woodtick · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning?

DS has his own room. He stayed with us till he was about 10 months, but he's always had his own room.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme?

My theme is vintage sports. I used the junior varsity bedding collection from PBK, and we have wall hangings of vintage sports gear. I also used the baseball lamps they have. I feel like this is a transitional theme that he can have up till he's about 10.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor?

PBK

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear?

His room. We have a toybox where smaller toys go, baskets in his bookcase for his blocks, and big toys remain out. We do store a few downstairs in a decorative trunk to occupy him while I'm cooking.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it!

We turned our bonus room/game room into the nursery so DS has the largest room in the house so his room is also his playroom.

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places?

We are moving in January/February so none until we buy our house, then I will start thinking about projects...

mnj05 · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? H has his own room but he was in our room for 4 months.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? The wall color is the standard almost peachy color that come in most new houses now, but one wall was painted dark gray as an accent color. Other than that, there are many colors and it's an animal theme. When we were trying to figure out a theme, my grandma gave me a small quilt that's Noah's Ark and DH said why don't we just do animals.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? I don't really shop for decor anymore, but I got most of it at BRU.

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? Target! I'm always there it seems, even with being back at work.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! No special area, just everything scattered in the living room.

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? Make a collage of his pictures from all of the photo shoots we've done and will do (NB, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months) on a wall in his room.

phishgirl29 · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning?DS has his own room. He hasn't slept in it yet, but it's all his with an attached bathroom.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme?

My theme started as navy chevron patterns, but has evolved into gray elephants, with navy accents. The walls are painted with subtle stripes.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor?

PBK

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear?

His room. We have a toy bin where smaller toys go, a bin for stuffed animals and a bookshelf. All his gear is in our livingroom. We call it "daycare" because it has everything. Swing, bouncer, two playmats, jumper, exersaucer. Our friends and family were so generous when we had him!

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it!

No sadly. I can see us moving into a bigger house as soon as I'm (hopefully) expecting again or when this guy turns two. There isn't enough room here!

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places?

Nothing. I did so much work on piecing together DS's nursery, but people gave us a lot of decorations (picture frames, framed art, piggybanks) for it as shower gifts so it doesn't look like I had envisioned. I'm not ungrateful, but for all the work I put it in, it doesn't resemble what I had hoped.

Jenny952 · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? Yes, DD has her own room.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? Her room is soft celery green paint with lavender accents.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? I don't buy much for her decor. I prefer buying her clothes, lol!

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? She has a few bins in her room with toys, and she has lots more toys in the living room in more bins.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! No, so sad. We just have toys in the living room, but we made a section in the room for her stuff.

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? She's getting a play kitchen for her birthday so I'm going to have to find a place for that and all the gear that will go along with it.

queenbone · October 2013

I haven't been on in a while, I hope I can still play.

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning? Yes, we did a nursery in our old house, the boys shared it and they share a room now in the new house. We made a new nursery for this baby.

Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme? The original nursery and the boys bedroom is a red, white, and blue, Americana, baseball theme. The new nursery is green and purple; since the baby was a girl I added flower accessories to it.

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor? Ebay & CL for vintage stuff. I also really like LoN and PBK.

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear? In the new house we have a playroom. I also use an upholstered storage cube in the family room for toys.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it! We have a playroom for everyone's toys. There are 2 bookcases with books and toy storage, the closet is full of costumes and dress up clothes. My 70s harvest gold kitchen set is there as well as a market stand, an easel, a drop leaf table for puzzles, drawing, etc. There is also a wingback chair and ottoman for me to sit in and a kid size upholstered chair for reading. We have the Island of Sodor set up in the unfinished attic. (This started out as a way to keep DS2 out of DS1's trains, but now has the convenience of not needing to pick up the track layouts.)

What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places? Stripping the wallpaper and then painting the walls is on my wishlist for the playroom. That probably won't happen until we transition the playroom into DS1's bedroom. That probably won't happen until DS2 starts PreK in 2 yrs. Basically I don't want all 3 of them saying, "Mommy, come watch me play in my room!" "No, come watch me play in MY room, Mommy!"
I also need to finish sewing curtains for the boys' new room.

Mrs.AmyDylan · October 2013

Do you have a designated baby nursery, or has LO (have LOs) grown up in their own room since the beginning?It is all one room and she has never slept in there!
Describe LO(s) bedroom - color/theme?It is green with sheep. We were team green, so the idea was to add pink or blue to be the secondary color. However, her crib is in our room, so her pink sheets aren't in her room

Where is your favorite place to shop for LO(s) room decor?I already had a collection of sheep. We put my childhood furniture in J's room. Therefore, no shopping, I guess.

Where do you store most of LO(s) toys and gear?Probably her room and then our room. We usually dress her in our room, so I have her current clothes in my closet.

Do you have a playroom or special area for LO(s) playthings? Describe it!We have her room, plus an area in our den with a pile of toys.
What's next on your short list of projects for LO(s) spaces and places?New carpet!
