I know it's a little early to be painting the nursery, but it's still fun to start planning! I'm pregnant with my first and we have decided not to find out the sex. Anyone have any colors/ideas/themes/Pinterest photos you want to share? I kind of like these two from Pinterest, but with something more colorful above the crib in the one with the white crib.

I'm only getting down the base of the room, then finishing up the details once the baby is here. Rock 'n' Roll theme (think Woodstock not Metallica), electric style. Doing the walls a light mint color, dark gray vintage dresser with 6 or 8 vintage record sleeves (Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin etc) hung on the wall above, gray double glider, black and white striped curtains. I'm going to hang this electric guitar my husband made on the wall. We will reuse my son's Jenny Lind crib.
Then for a girl, colors would be the mint, black and white and pink floral prints. I have this super cute vintage floral fabric banner I made for our wedding, that would go above the crib. I would add more feminine decor to the room (crib skirt, blanket, pillows etc), I'll just have stuff ready to be ordered off Etsy.
Ummm for a boy, I'm still trying to figure it out haha...hoping for a girl I guess

For a boy I will add navy's and grays. For a girl I will probably add some coral in. The blue of the walls is a grayish blue.
I am trying to pick a color scheme to make my nursery. No offense to anyone... I done care for themes like "whinnie the pooh" and then it looks like the whinnie the pooh threw up all over the room.
Today, my husband surprised me by taking me to pick out paint samples for both boys and girls. We want to pick a shade of grey and then have one accent wall. I found A light tourquise green and a steely blue that we LOVED. We also chose a purple, but it came out a little dark.

This new baby will be going into the nursery and my son will be getting a new big boy room and all of his art and accessories will go with him. If we have another boy we'll just leave the colors the same or add light coral for a girl.
