Theme (nursery or otherwise)

Themaritimemama · November 2013

What theme (if any) are you doing for your LO? With DD we did giraffes, with DS we did pirates, and for this DD, we're doing owls. I've bought a baby book with owls and a sleeper from value village and they're both owls! Part of my craft projects will be primarily owls. Our travel system will also have owls.

What are you all doing for your babies?

Star Wars will be the theme for our son. Doing lots of art and etsy purchases to get it right. Going to use stars/galaxy/grays/blues/aqua to fill in the gaps, like bedding, window covering etc.

Mickey Mouse for a boy and Minnie Mouse for a girl

That's our plan too.

find out tomorrow boy or girl!

Woodland nursery, sort of. We'll be doing a light blueish-aqua, burnt orange, goldenrod yellow, and white for the color theme and maybe doing a fox or fawn here and there. I'm not a big fan of an overwhelming theme, but I like lots of colors with touches of fun here and there.

Monsters for a boy and alice in wonderland for a girl

britt33 · November 2013

My favorite animal is elephants so we are doing aqua and grey and fans of coral color with a few framed paintings of elephants. Not cartoon elephants but more realistic/abstract.

cgoldian · November 2013

Our nursery is cherry blossom themed since our baby girl is arriving right around that time (and we live in the DC area)

Kiahsimpson · November 2013

Hubby loves basketball (played all through high school) and cars. So, either sports or cars.

SummerLeah · November 2013

I'm having a girl, and I'm going for an elegant look with blush pink and gold.

sambrownmac10 · November 2013

We're doing a Winnie the Pooh theme, gender neutral so the next baby can share with this little guy.

scarles · November 2013

For a girl, we will do simple white and gold and pink touches. For a boy, there is a large USA 4 piece plank artwork that I want to get to focus on. I'll add some blue and green touches from there with simple white bedding.

LittleLady77 · November 2013

A jungle theme for our boy/girl twins.

zoopsiedaisy · November 2013

We're doing a woodland theme, boy or girl. Using grey and white, plus a little color in some felt pictures I sewed. We also have a white tree sticker for the wall to go over dark grey paint. We live in a small 80 year old farm house so the baby will have two walls in our small master. Ha! The only other room is our office and its way too drafty. It's freezing in there in the winter. Can't wait to get started!

Star Wars - boy or girl. This nursery is the only thing DH has ever been excited to plan.

Nicole Zook · November 2013

Ours is green and brown mostly - and i have gotten on a monkey kick lately because on baby stuff they are so cute! So we are adding monkeys to it too - we are team green so its neutral.

The walls are 2 shades of green striped and then we have dark wood and brown accents.

babybarnes87 · November 2013

Subtle elephant theme for either boy or girl. I don't care about themes that much, which is why I'm just going to add subtle touches here and there.

mamacatTo2 · November 2013

Woodland theme here too-that seems quite popular! Gray walls and bedding with pops of sage green.

mandacann · November 2013

I think we're doing pink, green and turquoise. There's a ton of cute bird and owl stuff in those colors so something like that will probably end up being the theme.

thomas930 · November 2013

This little guy will move into his brother's Star Wars room when he moves out of ours.

newter135 · November 2013

My nursery is a pale grey walls with light pink an lavender accents with the bedding and furnishings and mostly floralish but the "theme" will be Beatrix potter. My father is an amazing artist and will be painting different characters from the stories all over the nursery when he visits this weekend

loveyoga7 · November 2013

We just bought pale pink paint and a light lavender paint for our DD's nursery. We are having a white chair rail installed and we are going to out the pink paint on the top portion if the walls and the lavender paint in the bottom. Also having a petite crystal chandelier installed. My Mom wants to make her crib bedding and already purchased the fabric for it. She said its white with a little bit of lavender and pink in it. It also has ballerinas on the print. I haven't seen the fabric yet and i am a terrified that I am going to hate it....I guess our theme is kinda French/ballerina theme.

kegs10210 · November 2013

Teddy bear aviator- we fell in love with it the first time we saw it. My grandfather worked on planes in WW 2 and DH' s brothers are into RC planes, so it does have meaning for us. My mom will be making a quilt, and if I have the energy I would like to maybe do some cross-stitch.

MaglioMomma · November 2013

This is our inspiration for baby girl! Can't wait to get started

Rogue237 · November 2013

We're doing forest/woods. Green and brown for the colors - a whimsical tree decal with owls. Childlike pictures of foxes, wolves, owls, etc. Not too busy/over the top.

AcaAwkward · November 2013

I'm not huge on overt themes, but this little guy's room will be a grayish blue color with Nantucket red touches. The bedding on the queen bed that will remain in the nursery is being switched to duvet with blue railroad ticking on it. The only crib bedding we're doing is a sheet that has these tiny winged dogs with red glasses flying through clouds printed on it. Then I have a few folk art prints of dogs doing human things (playing a guitar, drinking coffee, etc).

So I suppose you could say there is a very sublet dog theme going on.

KendraL86 · November 2013

We are going with a music theme for our baby boy. Currently we are leaning toward navy and citron green because it matches this colorful rug with electric guitars on it that we found for a great price. The bedding will be mostly solid with a printed sheet (stripped) in coordinating colors. Wall art will be a mix of hung guitars my husband doesn't use, baby nursery music prints (classic D is for drum sorta stuff), vintage albums in coordinating colors framed, and an interesting repurposed record art piece.

Emily041285 · November 2013

We decided to do grey chevron with yellow. I don't really like animal themes, so until this kid is old enough to have a say we're just going with colors.

Still searching for the way we'd like to paint. I'd love to do a chevron accent wall but DH isn't sold.

have you girls seen the star wars themed bedding and room accessories at pottery barn kids??

Asljoc · November 2013

If LO is a boy then I want to do car/ train theme. If it's a girl I'm thinking about reusing DD's nursery things. (Elephants and ladybugs). Anyone have a bad experience with their older kids and jealousy if they reuse stuff?

shawnsgirl06 · November 2013

Our baby girls nursery is our huge open walk-in closet. We are reusing our green teddy bear bedding with a new white crib, antique white dresser, and refinishing our old changing table to white. I would love to get a glider and am looking at some sort of wall decal instead of refinishing a slightly damaged wall (maybe a tree). I plan to repurpose our mobile by replacing the jungle animals with small teddy bears. I've ordered a new valance for the window and would love to find a used or clearance small throw rug for the floor. I plan to hang the crib quilt from the set on the wall and also have a framed picture and flat stuffed teddy bear that came with our set to hang.

danamarie421 · November 2013

We are doing a Dr Seuss theme for our LO... Particularly "Oh, the places you'll go"...

mzjaybee7 · November 2013

Ours will be a whale/nautical theme for our little boy with different shades blue, white, and hints of red here and there.

Hotmama410 · November 2013

Yellow and Grey

spalumb9 · November 2013

Giraffes! We painted yellow and the giraffe stuff is primary colored. We are team green and plan to use the stuff again for future babies.

BuggasMom · November 2013

If it's a girl I will be doing a white and cream with gold accents with a touch of sparkle

If it's a boy I plan on a luxury lodge feel. Creams, furs (not real of course), subte deer, moose accents

We find out in 7 days!!!

adheaton1387 · November 2013

We're going for an earthy rustic woodland theme. I found some awesome Katie Daisy prints to incorporate! I'm not really into characters but plan on using deer sillouhettes and maybe a few other cute forest type critters-
My Pinterest nursery board to better explain:

DemoDoll · November 2013

We are doing a country chic theme. I'm not into animals or major themes.

mamahann · November 2013

We aren't too into themes but we're planning on gray/ice blue/white colors for a boy with outer space/Doctor Who accents and coral/aqua/light pink colors for a girl.

We find out TOMORROW!!

scoassin · November 2013

Ours is a beach theme (since we are currently in Hawaii). Here's a picture of what we've done so far (we had to start early since My husband is deploying). We still have a long ways to go, but at least we have the furniture assembled.
