@vampirina Thanks! There's more going on in the room, but it's all still half-finished. Waiting on the completion discount to kick in before I buy alllll the things ๐คฃ
thanks @mac-n-cheesy! Just have to raise the mattress from DS and I think I can call it completed. We have a circular mirror and diaper pail on the closest side of the room but it's a mess over there right now with piles of unneeded boy clothes now ๐ basically just added the rocker, pouf and changing pad but that touch of pink makes it feel like a new space
I finally started painting this weekend. I should finish by the end of the week. We have to transition DDs playroom into the nursery so itโs a process. I am doing 3 tan walls and a pink accent wall. Her theme is woodland so her blankets and sheets have deer with flowers on the antlers and I bought wood accents for the walls with some paintings to match.ย
@noprobalo it does look similar! Mine is a Graco, i forgot the actual model. We opted the solid back because there's an outlet on that wall that I don't want baby poking around in. ๐
@chindimples04 The shelves and macrame are from Amazon!! The cloud and elephant are from a local store called pacifier but I know the cloud with legs comes from a brand called JellyCat that makes a bunch of random things with legs attached and faces. So cute ๐ฅบย
I have done absolutely nothing for a nursery. The "nursery" is currently my office and guest room, and my best friend comes about once a month and stays for about a week, so I'm very lax about changing - but its making my husband nervous.ย
I cant figure out what I'm supposed to do about having a guest ๐ชย
@demimondaine best friend might need to stay in a hotel? I mean itโs been very generous of you to host them. But you have a baby coming so Iโm sure theyโd understand!ย
@demimondaine dont worry I haven't started either and I'm a FTM. I am not that all that concern with setting up the nursery yet because she will be sleeping in my room first couple of months. My husband will start painting it soon in the next month. Plus the funiture I want isn't in stock until Septemberย
I'm waiting for the registry completion discount before I buy stuff. We had our baby shower last week so we got lots of stuff but I'm not laundering/organizing until I have them all.
That said - DH is creating a list for our hospital bag lol
@madiirosee your nursery is turning out lovely. I had my first daughterโs done too well before she was here. It felt like an important part of having my first baby and I used it for everything starting on day one except the crib (halo bassinet next to the bed). I also had a full wardrobe from newborn through 9 months at around this time as wellโฆI can relate. This time we are trying to move into a bigger place ASAP so Iโve got a ton of clothes and things in boxes but no nursery yet!
Here I am again with more decor. Sorry I just loveeeee decorating ๐ย hubby picked this one out though!ย
We had one of those โboobโ lights as I like to call them and swapped it for this guy! I love the pattern it creates. I think baby will like looking at it ๐ฅฐย
@galentine thank you!!! We put a warm Edison bulb in it, so itโs not too bright. I canโt wait to see if she likes looking at the pattern it gives off!ย
This thread is giving me FOMO. Haha! For my DD, I was also one who had the nursery completely set up from Day 1. I loved decorating her room so much, and it helped me feel prepared for her arrival. We decorated her room with a variety of new things and also souvenirs we'd collected from traveling around the world before she was born. Her room is literally my favorite room in the house. It came together perfectly and I love it.
Baby #2..... well. Their room has a crib and an unassembled dresser. That's it. I just can't get excited about any of the gender neutral nursery decor. I KNOW how stupid that is (I'm pretty anti- gender stereotypes! I promise!) But for some reason I have very strong visions in my head for the nursery depending on if it's a boy or girl. I think I'll just save an online cart of decor for both sexes, and order from the hospital room.ย ย
@galentine awwww I could see why youโd feel that way. Honestly though, I looooooove neutral decor. Yes I would say I have some girly additions to mine, but I like to think for the most part itโs pretty neutral! With the sage green wall and creams, tans. Definitely doable!ย
Maybe you could start creating it as a โcozyโ space instead of girly vs. boyish? Then it would be easy to add things for either!ย
I love wood accents, like the shelves I added and maybe some cute prints to hang up. A plush rug is always nice too.ย
@madiirosee I love it!! I figured it was but wasn't sure if that was a thing, love that it matches your wall hangings!!
@galentine I feel the same! I'm having a hard time coming up with a theme for baby. DS nursery was so great and all of that decor is moving with him to his new bedroom. I've been thinking about a hot air balloon, transportation, sky theme because I think we will keep the accent wall the same blue it is. ETA totally support making a cart for both boy and girl and then buying when baby is here!
@gingermama46, AHHH! We have hot air balloons in DD's nursery, and I LOVE THEM. Her room is loosely "travel around the world" themed, and I lumped in hot air balloons because I felt like it. Remind me when we get to the PG - I can share pics of her room and these gorgeous hot air balloons we got from an Etsy seller in Poland. They were a bit pricey but sooooo gorgeous and worth the splurge! The quality is seriously incredible, and the seller is great. She personalized the balloons for me with exactly the fabric and decor I requested. Love love love them.

You're probably fine. You've got time! Most babies don't use the nursery right away anyways.
