    In our little twin boys nursery, we needed a bigger room so we could have 2 of cribs and things, so we transformed ouf den into a nursery so ita a much bigger space. My husband is a big outdoorsy person in the military and he wanted mossy oak camoflauge done, so our walls i had proffessionally painted looks like the woods and has a deerstand thats wooden and is actually a cabin that was special built for our boys in the corner, my mom and grandma made the bumpers for the bed and crib set with mossy oak fabric and trimmed everything in a light blue ribbon, the furniture is a dark wood and both cribs are round, They were also home made , my uncles a carpenter and he built both of them, the legs on the bottom areb made to look like tree stumbs, and the top is made in the same way.. we have two rocking chairs that were re upholstered in a brown , and the changing table was made to match the cribs... we are still working on the rest of it, but since my husbands is in another country serving his country we thought we'd surprise him with the theme he asked for, although he thinks its a jungle theme because i toook pics of my sisters nursery and sent them to him... i told him i just couldn't find camo bedding, but i hope he is surprised...

    We didn't know what sex we were haivng so we tried to go gender neutral. I painted the walls this pretty pale lime green, and painted the doors and trim white. Then we put down white tiles on the floor and added a white dresser, white shelves, and a white crib and change table. Then I made curtains, a quilt, and a crib ruffle in a bright lemon yellow with jungle animals. I also made some framed pictures with the leftover fabric (one lime frame, one yellow, and one white).

    Theme: Jungle, Lemon/Lime
    Best buy: second hand cib and change table, $120 for the pair
    I made: curtains, 2 quilts, a crib ruffle, several receiving blankets, framed pictures

    We ... well ...I wanted a green and yellow nursary with an under the sea theme. You have NO IDEA how hard that is proving!!!
    You just can't get under the sea stuff here in tazzie!! It's all bl**dy farm animals! We live in a rural area, so the kid is going to see enough farm animals when it arives!
    We did spot on the net removeable wall mural stickers. (can't remember the site off the top of my head.) But they are REALLY expensive! There is a coral reef sticker that is 3' x 7'. but it's $250.!!!! I think I'll be saving up for that one. We rent, so we can't paint, so stickers we can remove and take with us sounds great!

    DH wants racing cars. We don't know what the sex is going to be, and even if it was a boy, I think I would want something a bit more gentle and relaxing. And I love the sea, and it's a sex neutral theme.
