nursery poll
There's been lots of talk about nurseries lately!
What is your favorite color scheme?
Theme/pattern?
Are you for or against pink for girls/blue for boys?
Re: nursery poll
There's been lots of talk about nurseries lately!
What is your favorite color scheme? I have lots. I have about 30 different possibilities picked out. I guess when you've been trying this long planning the nursery is the only thing left. lol I love light and airy but doubt that ours will end up that way. Black and red or lavendar and grey are my two top picks. Orange and yellow is a close third.
Theme/pattern? My plan is to do argyle or a boy and vintage chic for a girl. I will MAKE it happen.
Are you for or against pink for girls/blue for boys? Against! I hate pink and blue probably because my mother loved them both and her entire house was wedgewood blue and rose pink. I refuse.
Theme/pattern? Most neutral patterns tend to lean towards girly and I find it annoying. For animals, I love silhouettes like the pic and woodland creatures like deer, birds, bunnies, raccoons!
Are you for or against pink for girls/blue for boys? I'm so over it. I have 4 nephews and 4 nieces and everything they had/have as babies was pink or blue. I don't mind them as accents.
TTC #1 13 cycles, CP 6/09, TTC #2 1 cycle
CDing, EP'd for 13 months for #1, BFing for #2
Pregnancy Hypertension - inductions at 39w, I grow big babies: DD was 9 pounds 1 ounce 22 inches, DS was 11 pounds even 22 inches - both vaginal deliveries
For a girl: not a fan of pink but I LOOOOVE this
For a Boy I like Blues and Browns. Something rustic, haven't found it yet but we're not really ready to be looking anyways.
I would love to do Black and Pink for a girl (though I doubt M will let me).
For a boy, I bet if we can make it happen, M will want it Bruins themed.
Other than that, no ideas at all, we'll think of it more once we get to that point.
Pink is my favorite color so I would absolutely do pink for a girl.
I'm not against pink or blue for boys or girls, its just that we're going to have another baby and I want to reuse as much as possible.
I'm a sucker for dark wood and modern twists on classics. I didn't want baby girl pink, so we went with the Watermelon dark pink and green scheme, which looks nice with the dark wood.
I'm looking forward to having a house and decorating a proper nursery.
All I've had on my mind lately are nurseries! No, I'm not pregnant
yet!
I can't posts pics since I'm at work, but I am also diggin' the vintage/shabby chic look. Since we plan on being team green, we want white with soft pastels throughout in all colors and older 70's-ish white crib and furniture. We can't break the bank on it because we are poor, so I'm hoping to find a lot of my nursery decor through re-sale shops and yard sales (and hand me downs from relatives of course). My priciest item may be a pretty chandelier though
If team green doesn't work out for whatever reason, I had always wanted black/hot pink for a girl but now I'm thinking that black is just too harsh/bold for a baby's room. I may just do white and yellow with a few black accents. No clue what we'd do if we knew we were having a boy.
I have some pics saved on my computer at home, so I will update this later.
This is my favorite "set" but I have seen it done many many times. There is one that is very similar in lavendar that I really like....
like this.....
but I also love this...
Im not totally over pink and blue, if used the right way and sparingly.
I am digging on grey paired with yellow or apple green!
I am alos in love with the following nurseries!
This is soooo cute and I love how the flowers pop out of the wall!
Love the modern feel to this
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee LOOK how cute this wall is!
OMG!!! IN LOVEEEEEEEE
LOL I have this saved too.
::Insert evil laugh here::
If we have a baby in our current house I won't get to set up a nursery because we'll move around August 2011.
There's no point in setting up and decorating a room that will get destroyed by Navy movers in just a few months.
However, I'm a huge Pottery Barn Kids fan. Not that we would ever spend this much on a baby's room....but you'll get the idea of what I like.
Girl:
Boy:
I'm a big fan of nurseries that can easily be converted to big girl and big boy rooms. I had a pink room as a child and I grew to hate it, so I would never paint the walls a gender specific color. Except for maybe very, very pale blue, but that could also work for a girl's room.
If DH has his way, this will be a future son's room:
