Please give me your opinions regarding our nursery!
We spent a ton of time this weekend looking at fabrics and paint colors but I'm just not falling in love with anything. I've made 4 different options below, please let me know what you think. All along I had planned on needing curtains, a crib skirt, and a pillow for the glider but last night it dawned on me that a crib skit really won't be seen through our crib! So now I'm even more confused!!
I need a lot of curtains b/c of the bay window so I don't want to use a fabric that is too busy or overpowering.
For all the pictures the top row is the windows, the rug we already bought, and the crib. The glider is going to be grey. The middle row are the fabrics and the bottom is the most likely paint choice.
Option 1 - Purple, yellow, gray
This one I had planned on doing the floral fabric with all three colors for the crib skirt and then picking one of the purple fabrics for the curtains but now I don't really know what to do!
Option 2 - Blue, Pink, and Green
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the paisley fabric but figure it's too much for curtains so I don't even know where I'd use it! There are two different paint colors on this one although they are very similar
Option 3 - Blue and Red
With this one I'm not sure what color we would paint the walls. I guess the light blue color in the floral fabric.
Option 4 - Lots of colors!
Please help me!!!!!
Re: Please give me your opinions regarding our nursery!
i LOOOOVE #3. i think you could paint the room a really light grey if you didn't want to do blue.
i also love #2, and i think with the way those windows are, you could use the paisley fabric as the far left and far right curtains, and then use a coordinating solid for the rest of the curtains on the large windows.
i dig #1 too, so i'm not much help

I like option #1 a lot. I actually have option #3 in my oldest daughters room. Her window treatments are very simple in the coordinating stripe and the trim is this leopard print. It doesn't look skanky, just kind of fun. Her duvet is the paisley on one side and the dot on the other and then her bed skirt is the same as the window treatments.

#2 & #3 seem to match the rug better. #2 is a little more girly, while #3 seems a little more gender neutral (even with the florals). I like both of them, but would probably go with #3, since you could use it for your future childrens.
For paint on #3 I would either go with light blue, or even better, a light gray, find a gray paint sample that matches the gray in the floral, and go up a couple shades on the card. It might seem busy, but either fabric would be fun for curtains, if you kept the rest of the room fairly pared down.
Also, I would still do a crib skirt. You can do a cheap solid skirt with just a wide band around the bottom of the fabric that you want to be seen. I don't know where you are getting your bedding but I LOVE the adjustable crib skirts, a nestie used to have an etsy shop and made great bedding but she isn't doing it anymore. This is like what I'm talking about though, it's 4 seperate pieces of fabric that you can adjust the ties on. It's so obviously brilliant!

I like #2 most. You can also make the paisley into a pillow on the chair.
I also posted some ideas for you in the confession post last week.
