Let's Talk Nurseries! What are your plans so far? Any questions? Any FTM overachievers already set up?

Themes, colors, space to be used? Pinterest Board Inspirations? Shared space with a sibling?

Re: Nursery Talk! Plans, Themes, etc.
Hapoy planning!
This babe is gonna be co-sleeping / room sharing with DH and I for the first 5-6mo and then transitioning into that room with DD. So no fun nursery plans for me this time around.

Also, I want to do a starry night theme on the ceiling... come December I am going to buy that fluffy fake snow stuff so that I can attach it to the ceiling to look like clouds. I have been sewing felt stars together for a couple days and plan to have them hanging from the ceiling by fishing wire so the whole nursery ceiling looks like a night sky. (It all came to me in a crazy dream and I've been attached to the idea ever since! Hopefully it turns out as pretty as it is in my mind...)

My husband wants to build the crib and changing table and I am so excited about that! We are going off of templates that I found on Pinterest (see pictures below). For bedding & decor I'm thinking white/gray/black/ivory. We might throw a color or two in there randomly.

Baby #1 EDD: 3/20/17
We're doing a Harry Potter Nursery. I'm still trying to convince DH to paint one wall as an accent wall.
We got a dark cherry crib and I ordered this blanket, but baby won't use it until their older since it's fleece, and I'm gonna do gray, yellow and dark blue crib sheets. I also got a Hogwarts crest banner to hang up, as well as an "owl" cage. still looking for a cute small lamp . I think I can easily print off and frame a lot of HP stuff. I got Dobby and Mandrake dolls made too.

I LOVE the navy colored walls, neutral furniture and accents of pink but I wonder if the walls will be too dark. I also love they grey and pink color combo as well but I worry it's too trendy?
Question: Is there any nursery related items that you 100% recommend and/or 100% recommend skipping?.

Other than that I think we are aiming at white furniture and splashes of another colour once we know what baby actually is!
@Spartanrd4 We are getting DH's old nursery furniture (sans crib) and painting it white/adding knobs. It's super 80's looking so I hope we can modernize it a bit, but it's solid wood and best of all, free!
We are team green. I think we are going to do grey/mint green walls with pops of other colors in the decor. Probably go with elephants/baby animal theme.
For ds I made up my own theme- rustic americana. Very patriotic but rustic. Im in love but already looking forward to when we re do his room one day - vintage cars and motorcycles !
@AverageAsh @vino831 We definitely plan on getting some sort of gliding/rocking chair. I'm wondering if it's better to have it in the nursery or even the living room? I mean if I'm up at 3:00 in the am nursing a baby, won't I want the T.V on in the background or will I want silence in their bedroom? First world & first time mom problems....
@Wishilivedinflorida Thank you!!
