Anyone have any nursery ideas yet?

I'm trying to convince DH to do something like this since we're Team Green, so now I'm trying to look online for ideas on how to finish decorating it.

Anyone else have ideas yet?

The room we're using was painted green at the request of DH when we moved in, so I think we're going to keep it like that and lighten it up with the furniture and decor. I think we're doing either baby animals or owls and keep it neutral. I can see it in my head so hopefully it turns out how I imagine!

 

Forgot to add that we are team green

We're team blue and are going to do a classic car/hot rod theme for our little guy. DH is a bit of a car nut, so it works out great!

First off, OP- I love your nursery idea.  It looks awesome. 

We don't know if we are having a boy/girl yet (we are team find out, but we have a couple more weeks until we do find out).  But we have decided to go with something like this: http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/2011/real-rooms/dark-and-colorful-baby-nursery/ (sorry- not clicky).  We wanted something that could be easily changed from boy to girl since if we ever do this again, we will just move baby one out of the nursery, and move baby two in.

I love these ideas! I have always,nown I wanted to do primary colors, so we're going to use Skip Hop's Mod Dot bedding. ( http://www.skiphop.com/product/completesheet_moddot.html ) 

The room is already painted green, and I have dark brown furniture in there already.

Love the idea OP.

 

If it's a boy we're doing a Where the Wild Things Are theme. If it's a girl we are doing a yellow, grey, and pink nursery.

We did/are doing a beach theme.  We knew we were going to have more than one child and I didn't want to redecorate each time so we picked a neutral theme for ours.  I have different boat/water pictures up in the room and the bedding looks similar to this.

That's what we have for B. we painted the room blue after we found out we were having a boy but would have used the pale green for a girl.

We are finding out the sex (tomorrow - yeah!). If we are team blue we will do an alphabet theme with pbk sheets, lighter blue walls and dark blue curtains.  If we are team pink we either are going to do a purple room gingham purple drapes and sheets, flower sheers, and a darker purple paint OR my new love is a bright aqua.  For this we would do lighter aqua polk-a-dot sheets with all white layered ruffle drapes and bright aqua walls.

We're team green and I want to use these colors and see if I can find matching jungle theme things.  Not sure if jungle stuff would match but I'd be okay with just using these colors because I am in love with them.

We're trying to keep it neutral but we're no fans of yellow and green usually becomes too much.

We're thinking dark blue ceiling with glow stars. These blue with clouds walls. Maybe  an ocean/beach theme for bedding. Lots of blue but we both like blue. We can always add pink accents later if we need to .

I would honestly just do the basics and add girl/boy themed stuff afterwards. For my last we has pale pale gray blue walls w white beadboard and white furniture. I had white book shelves and a white glider. If I had a boy I would have added navy blue as my accent color and since I had a girl I added pink and light green, both worked off the pale blue.
I wouldn't want to commit to an animal bedding or theme only to hVe a girl and want to add flowers and pink afterwards.

This time I'm struggling with moving my daughter and doing a new room for her since her room can transition to boy, but I love her room so much it makes me sad to change it, but it is the smaller of the two rooms and I feel guilty letting the baby get a bigger room!

Oh- I love all these ideas!  I can't wait until people start posting pics of their nurseries!

I think I'm going to use this idea as well.  Plus, it'll give me something to do the first couple of weeks of maternity leave when I'm still confined to the house.  Smile

We're going to be using the same nursery for this baby, our daughter will move to her big girl room after baby comes. Here's my post about it: http://m.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/ShowThread.aspx?PostID=58412848

We are team green and have had our nursery picked out well almost since the day we found out LOL...We are huge Disney buffs! SOOO. we are going with Lion King....if we have a boy it will be more animal focused and if its a girl, it will be more cheetah print focused.  I just love earth tones so this worked out perfect!

Here's something similar to what I hope the Nursery will look like for our munchkin!

We are team find out and if its a boy we are doing sailboat themed and if its a girl we are doing either grey and yellow or grey and pink...

The doctor told us at the NT scan he's 90 percent sure its a boy so since I can't quite get that out of my head I've put a lot more thought and ideas onto a boys nursery

Team Green here.  We're doing grey walls with white birch trees (I know, I know, it's popular, but they've been my favorite tree since I was a little girl so I'm really excited about this trend).

A white, low profile crib (probably Babyletto from Target), dresser, bookshelf, glider... the basics.  I want to all of the accents in the room to be dark red... pillow, crib sheet, lamp shade.  I love cardinals and plan on incorporating them throughout.  I found some ADORABLE etsy mommy and baby cardinal prints that I think I'll be buying!

We just found out on Saturday that we're having another boy.  I LOVE argyle and found this http://www.babysupermall.com/main/products/jjd/jjd1017bed9.html  I didn't think DH would go for it but he actually likes it.  We won't get the bedding set because it's just not practical.  Whatever we get we'll buy only the accents pieces - rug, curtains, etc.

I was in love with this bedding, but DH vetoed :( http://www.target.com/p/migi-alphabet-bedding-collection/-/A-11133427 We were team green. I wanted to do molding like that on the wall in white, with pale yellow above. I still regret not doing it! We did a sock monkey theme instead:

We're not team green but I wanted a gender neutral nursery anyway and we can't paint since we rent. We're doing either owls or space/explorer theme. We got espresso furniture and lots of colorful wall decor

I have an idea, but a lot depends on the sex.   

Dd is moving upstairs this week, so I have to do her big kid room as well.

The baby will share with DS until we build a house in the next couple years. His walls are a light-ish aqua, like the photo below. So I didn't want to go too girly with her stuff because it has to work with a toddler boy's things as well. I'm doing a white crib, and  yellow and teal and white bedding. Here's my inspiration photo:

http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&tbo=d&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=ahbNJbIPn7SLiM:&imgrefurl=http://stylehandler.blogspot.com/2011/10/nursery-inspiration-for-baby-s-part-one.html&docid=SArASWMjYVWLNM&imgurl=http://lh5.ggpht.com/-DMLEmzoq3t0/TqX7aAgXFEI/AAAAAAAACZo/PES-MBBHmBs/aqua%2525252520nursery16_thumb%252525255B1%252525255D.jpg&w=415&h=289&ei=y-S6ULa-KY_9qAGN7YCQBQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=763&vpy=195&dur=888&hovh=187&hovw=269&tx=112&ty=97&sig=117546269171672504505&page=2&tbnh=132&tbnw=191&start=24&ndsp=31&ved=1t:429,r:28,s:0,i:173

and here's the crib skirt fabric- I'm getting it custom made on etsy for $50.00-

http://www.google.com/imgres?q=magnolia+branch+fabric&um=1&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=pv-WSf0tAkrO0M:&imgrefurl=http://restash.com/fabrics/7096-magnolia-branch-in-aqua&docid=514pvNAq4kX9jM&itg=1&imgurl=http://restash.com/uploads/image/image/0000/8118/medium_http---hawthornethreads-com-images-michael_miller-300-laura_gunn_magnolia_lane_magnolia_branch_in_aqua-jpg&w=300&h=300&ei=WWTaUKWOIqmg2AWq6IGwAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1098&vpy=111&dur=748&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=222&ty=118&sig=114246440098673875876&page=1&tbnh=142&tbnw=142&start=0&ndsp=24&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0,i:108

and I just got a yellow/white gingham crib sheet from ebay from Pottery Barn Kids.

Then, I'll do pops of coral in the artwork/mobile, etc...DS's side has orange so I think it'll go well.

If I had a separate bedroom for baby girl, I'd do dove gray walls with white trim, and peach and blush accents.
