Nursery themes

we knew the sex of our DD, but werent really into the gender thang. we were renting so were not able (or rather willing to spend! LOL!) on painting the walls. so researched into vinyl stick ons for the wall. found some really great brightly coloured and BIG stick ons with fishies and submarines and mermaids. all in bright primary colours. it really livened up the room.
the theme we have going for the new house is a woodlands one. this is a little less 'bright' and consists of 5 foot vinyl stick on trees and birds and owls and rabbits that will be placed along all the walls. the main rabbit is totally cute and is about 2 feet tall! love him! they are all in black. so look more like silhouettes.

the window furnishings are basic ATM with just blockout blinds. but with all the wall decals it actually works nicely...

some good inspiration in here!

We've gone mocha coloured furniture, but I was so surprised though to see just how expensive cot sheet/quilt sets are! We know that we're having a girl, but we decided to go with the Katie Little "Savannah" set which is a gorgeous pastel green and cream with giraffes so that we can use it for future bubs regardless of gender. So I found some cute bookends in the same green on ebay, and will accent the room with some pastel pink, cream and green toys and cushions etc.

I'm also a huge Beatrix Potter fan and have found the cutest stuffed Peter rabbit, Mrs Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck toys. We are due to move into our new house though about 3 weeks before bub is due so i wont have too long to set it all up!

I am just curious as to what them you had/have for your nursery?
If you decided to not find out the sex of the baby, how did you decorate?
Has anyone done a different or unusual theme?

hi mitzy
We dont know the sex of our bub either, and thus went for a nutrel colour to decorate the nursery in.
We were fortunate enough to buy a full nursery set from a friend for only 100 dollars. which included an almost new cot, and a green safari themed nursery set. came with a lamp, floor mat, sheet set, blanket, mobile, bumper, linen basket etc.

I think its a good idea to stick with green or yellow. I was thinking of going with purple, but my partner said it was too girlie, however i find purple to be in between pink and blue.

anyway, hope all is well for you.
Silly me went overboard buying blue outfits, and before too long i realised the cupboard was starting to suit only a boy, i have had to resist the urge to buy more clothes until after bub is born :)

Its so hard buying nutrel clothes! so ive had to stick to plain pants, tops and jumpsuits :)

We went with a Sesame Street theme, which we picked before we knew that DS was a boy.

We would have just painted the walls a different colour if we'd had a girl (pink and green instead of blue and green which we did for DS)

when our time comes we are doing ours in BEES
