We were renting when DD was born, we had just moved in when I was 8 months PG so thats when I set up the nursery, the room was off white with peach coloured curtains so it was really pretty.
We bought our house when she was 4 months old & still haven't got around to painting it We've recently bought the paint, she will have off white walls with a pink feature wall.
Our new babys room, boy oh boy, haven't started yet. We still have to build a wall deviding it into an office & bedroom, then put a window in each room as currently theres a sliding door. Then we will be getting off white carpet (very neutral). We also need to build a second wall for extra insulation to block out noise from running water in the room next door LOL. Once the walls are built we will be painting off white & a blue feature wall.
The cot is the same one we used for DD (it was the one DH used & his brothers before him, 47 yrs old!) It's white steel.
We'll be using DD's set of white drawers with character handles (mickey mouse etc) with a change mat on the top.
We have an off white bassinette (bedroom probably wont be finished by the time bubs arrives so he'll need to be portable LOL)
We have the fisher price papasan swing
Bedding is the kidsline "silver lining" which is a Noahs Ark theme so we have the bedding, floor mat, cot mobile, clothes hamper, wall hangings & a few other things I think LOL (something DD never had but I wanted to get so this time round I grabbed it when it was on special haha)
Haven't got a bath yet as we used a change table/baby bath for DD & I decided not to use that this time as takes up too much room in my opinion.
Car seat we have the capsule for first months then he'll prob get DD's safe n sound meridian which is fantastic I might add LOL because by that time DD will move over to her booster seat, saves us buying another car seat!
So I suppose my theme is Noahs Ark, thanks to the kidsline I chose. Furniture is white.
Good to hear you've got yours sorted, I wish I could say the same for us!!! (Just having the walls built & carpet put down I'd be so very happy with!!!)
LOL Thanks, yes it's a very big job & I'm the only one who seems to think 11 weeks isn't quite long enough to get it done in... DH keeps assuring me it will be done in time... yeah right!!
snoopea, YAY for finshing bubs room. A dark green suede feature wall sounds lovely. Have fun shopping for the mobile and sheets
DH started sanding bubs room yesterday....and we have about 18 days to go till his arrival! Sunday he will be painting, not sure how much will actually get done though? I think we will be painting the clouds on after we get home from the hospital and then we will also put up the sticker on the wall at the same time. Hopefully next weekend we will put the cot and change table together and stack if full of stuff
