Nursery themes

Re: Nursery themes

  • My nursery is all done, only because this baby will be sharing with my 2yo. It's the very hungry caterpillar!
  • Loading the player...
  • A few more UO finds (obviously I am procrastinating work today and trying to pretend like I'm doing something productive)

    Map letters (to spell the baby's name, maybe?)

    Bicycle wall paper (so cute!)

  • But this is also adorable:

    Not sure if I did the quote right but I ran to DH waving the Alpaca tapestry picture around and saying "our child NEEDS this in it's life!!"

  • Baby will be in our bedroom and we are doing a grey, and yellow color theme. Haven't decided on elephants or owls yet.
  • If we have a girl we are doing a pastel pink "Parisian" theme if we have a boy a dusty blue Nautical theme;)
  • right now I'm thinking a honey bee theme....I love all these nursery ideas, they all sound adorable.  lucky babies!
  • @ashtog‌, let me first add my thoughts and prayers. When I lost my brother to suicide a few years back, I purged a lot of his creative work, thinking it would help me handle what had happened. It did, but now I wish I had some of those things to remember the good times also. I've never lost a baby, and I can't imagine the heartache the lost of your friend must add at what should be a very happy time. My suggestion is this- don't get rid of the art yet. Give it time (at least a year) to see what you really think, not what you feel at this moment. Hang blankets or other fabric in front of it in the mean time if it helps. Please don't feel like you're replacing Sawyer. Those we love never truly leave.

  • All of the walls in my house are gray. My brother is a designer and picked my color! If it's a girl we are doing a Lilly Pulitzer theme! If it's a boy we will do nautical theme with lots of chambray! We live on the coast in the south so both are fitting!!
  • Everyone's ideas are great and helpful!

    We don't know a theme yet for a girl but for a boy, it will be SF 49ers theme because my husband says so lol. He even wants to get a giant fat head for the room of a player, I almost died loll.

    We have a few weeks until we know for sure what we are having and then we can actually start shopping for the baby room.

    The bunny reminds me of Uncle Jesse's room on full house! Lol

    Target has a ton of burts bees bee sheets and other accessories.

    We are doing a neutral woodsy theme with gray, brown, white and cream. These are the inspiration And the last is the set we picked
  • @runa00‌ I love the natural wood! So cute and soothing! Thanks for posting...now my wheels are really turning ;)

    Since we have no real idea of where we will be living yet, besides it being a rental, we are just going to have vintage baseball items in the room. I'm really excited to redo DHs baby furniture though! My MIL kept his two dressers and is giving them to us for the nursery.

    @Christi421‌ I love the pop of orange! DHs baseball team is the SF Giants and we were thinking about redoing one of the dressers orange! I think it'll be nice for a neutral colored room!

    This is just the idea for if it's a boy. I may be doomed if it's a girl because I haven't put much thought into a more feminine nursery or even possible names!

  • ........ We will add nature accents like a wire birdcage and a driftwood lamp.
    thiscoffeechick I'm curious, how will you use the birdcage?  I have a really cool one I got from Etsy for a wedding decoration and would love to reuse it somehow.  In the baby's room would be so cool.

  • This is what I bought. The theme is birds and trees. The bedding is gender neutral but I realize blue is often a boy color but even if I have a girl I'm not getting much pink stuff as I really don't like pink!

  • I'm toying around with loosely theming it after Pixar's Up...lots of balloons and animals and stuff. I have a vision in my head but I'm not sure how to accomplish it. Guess I've got some time to figure it out. :)
  • I LOVE decorating and go completely over board. My first sons baby room was dr. Seuss straight out of the story book. I even bought every book to begin his collection. I loved it we just recently converted it into a mario game room per his request (I would upload pics if I could figure it out!).

    As some have stated the room never actually saw the baby but I loved the room nevertheless. I am not doing a room for this baby because we are going to be moving within its first year and like I said my son is just now learning to sleep in his own room.

    I try to do different themes from my childhood. If its a girl I want a care bear room that was my favorite show.
  • For DD I did a mommy&baby arctic animal theme - polar bears, penguins, whales and wolfs/huskies. I did buy a bedding set but turned the bumpers and comforter in to wall hangings. I got the white wood letters from Michaels and painted them to match the patterns and colors from the bedding set (black and white polka dots, seafoam green checkered and maroon crushed velvet.)

    DH won't really discuss nursery themes until we know what these little ones are but I did get him kind of excited about the idea of a Peter Pan room. If it is both boys we can do Peter, the Lost Boys and Hook. If both girls we can do Peter Pan with an emphasis on Tiger Lily, Tinker Bell, Wendy and the mermaids. And if one of each, we can do the whole deal. The bulk of decor with be on the walls and shelves and we will use color coordinated sheets. And I will make the names to match the theme like I did for DD.
  • No nursery, no crib, no worries.

  • I love that DH is letting me do the entire nursery! He's so easy going and I think he knows I'll do something we both will love.

  • Hubby painted top half with an eggshell white (what we had lo from painting our house) room was already redish/brown. He plans on doing a chair rail and we have white/grey striped curtains in there already. So very neutral but "theme" wise I'm painting Beatrix Potter characters on wall.
  • sutavim2 said:

    We're not really doing a theme. Leaving the walls light brown as they are now. I do however want a giant giraffe or something plushy like that for the room and maybe jungle themed bedding.. :)

    There is an awesome giant giraffe on Amazon that has great reviews :)

  • If it is a boy... We are going to do a vintage Chevrolet room. My husband is a Chevy fanatic so he wants to do that theme and I can't argue with his excitement. :) for a girl... I'm not sure yet but definitely going to do something shabby chic. Undecided on the colors.
  • We are not finding out the gender of our baby. We are doing a farm theme. My husband and I are active on the farm and we want our children raised in that lifestyle.
  • With our son we did robots. Mostly because I painted 11+ robot paintings through out the years, so we just put them in his room. Now that he's 3 he's mostly into Star Wars but the paintings are still in there. We are having a girl in July. No plans for a room. I'm hoping they can share for a while. Hope she likes robots and Star Wars!!
  • We're finding out the sex but doing the nursery gender neutral regardless, with a few "masculine" or "feminine" touches, accordingly. The theme -- if you can call it that -- is Homemade. Lots of quilts and knit blankets from grandmothers and aunts, stretched canvas finger paintings on the wall from DS and DD, hand-me-down furniture and accents like lamps and mirrors that I'll be refinishing to complement the decor. And I'll be adding some homemade touches like sewn bunting and curtains. Kind of vintage and eclectic, but cozy.
  • All of the walls in my house are gray. My brother is a designer and picked my color! If it's a girl we are doing a Lilly Pulitzer theme! If it's a boy we will do nautical theme with lots of chambray! We live on the coast in the south so both are fitting!!

    @cwallacego‌ I'm doing Lilly Pulitzer too! We found out we were having a girl a week ago!
