thank you ladies so so much for the feedback!!! DH has no opinion on the furniture...he always leaves decisions about the house up to me saying he's fine with whatever - the only thing he was insistent on was having a sports theme, so this one makes both of us happy.
I'm going with a light wood (maple) for the crib & rocking chair, off white for the dresser (painted maple lol). White/black/wood - all neutrals IMO. I can get a little bored with all the wood matching, but others need everything matching, so it's a very personal decision.
So, we finally decided it's time to get rid of my office, and we're going to go ahead and turn it into a nursery. Found an app where I could enter measurements to see what fits before we buy things. I know I want t do neutral colors, just haven't decided on that. Probably grey and white and pop some blue or green in there to accent (sorry if the photo is massive, attached from my iPad) . Small desk on the right is a built in desk I'm going to use as the changing table
I got the room cleaned out, the changing table is already set up and one wall is done! We're doing a Harry Potter theme with the main colors being Gray and Dark Blue.
No nursery here for baby number 6! But we are moving our little guy up to what was the guest room so we can set up her crib in our room.
I am planning on painting our bedroom, getting new bedding for us and finding a cute crib skirt that somewhat matches. I would also like to paint the wall behind her crib an accent color.
Im in love with this bedding. It's going to be my inspiration.
I made this pillow for the glider yesterday. I also made a really cute garland to go above the crib from scraps I had. I will post a picture once I put it up.
We're doing a Harry Potter theme for baby girl, too @librarymom917. A friend of ours paints and another mutual friend commissioned him to paint a doe patronus, he did it in 4 different colors so she could choose and then never would accept his calls or messages again. I bought one and had originally planned on using it on our family photos wall, but decided it would be a good basis for a nursery. I bought some brass skeleton keys on eBay and will be making a mobile out of that. I'm getting a giant Easter egg from a friend that I'll paint gold and draw on to look like the golden egg from HP and the Goblet of Fire. Will possibly add some gold painted ping pong balls with and without wings to the mobile. I'm also getting a birdcage to put the adorable stuffed white baby owl I got at Target. Scentsy has a warmer called Whoot that I'll use as a nightlight.
Side note to so many of you I see ordering bedding. You're not supposed to put anything in the crib other than a firm mattress and a sheet. No blankets, no comforters, no pillow, and no bumpers. Save yourself some money and skip those items.
We are doing a Beauty and the Beast theme! light pink walls and then lots of yellow and royal blue! for decorations we are going for those stuffed characters from the disney store instead of things she wont be able to play with. Also getting some prints off Etsy that are beauty and the beast to frame around the room!
LOL @kap1988 I watched that whole video thinking "I could maybe do this!" Then I remembered that I don't have a sewing machine. Oh, and I can also barely sew a button. LOL!
@peony2418 Haha IF you own a sewing machine it is super easy And I just forced myself to learn how a couple of years ago. But seriously all I can do is sew squares together (pillows, blankets, burp cloths etc.) Anything more complicated and I'm in over my head.
@DrillSergeantCat sounds amazing! I've got a bird cage and I'm going to find a Hedwig to put in, I had a friend make a dobby and mandrake doll too. I'm gonna put a decal quote above his crib, just haven't figured out which one. I'm also searching for an owl lamp too. I've got the Hogwarts Crest banner on the opposite wall by the changing table.

I found a mandrake on Etsy, but it was already purchased. My mom crochets, but she doesn't do amigurumi. I found the baby white owl at Target this weekend on an endcap in the baby furniture section. It's got orange feet and beak, but I'm okay with it not being perfect. My friend who paints is painting me a Dobby. I'm going to keep looking for the mandrake. Just saw this lamp online.
Working on it. Guess I'm going with a Dream theme. And no the pillows won't be in there the same time as baby. We are co-sleeping so this will be the babies little area.
@mcdonald-bailey omg that crib is gorgeous! I need to get a crib mobile attachment thing. I ordered this but sent her a pic of our dog so that she can make a feltie inspired by him.
Otherwise, we're going for a general moon and stars theme. I have a cute lampshade from PBK and a lot of the bedding I picked star or constellation patterns. Our crib got delivered last week but there was already a scratch on it (it would be on the back once we put together but still...pretty annoying to get a new item that was already damaged). So it got sent back today and a new one is on the way.
