I know i am having aboy but i am still keeping the theme pretty gender neutral. No offence to anyone else - just my personal taste is that i dont love or even really like any of the baby themes that are out there. Cant even bring myself to buy any Pooh stuff.
We are keeping the walls off white and are getting dark wood furniture. As for decorating we will be using bright colours - i will probably paint animals on canvases and hang them around the walls. As for bedding, i will probably go with white sheets and hopefully find a cover that i like or if not i will get a few made.
When baby gets older i will more than likely introduce a theme that he likes then.
with my DS we did the Disney pixar cars theme with have the pictures,the rug,the draws,blankets,etc and painted the walls a little bluey colour,when we have a girl i will do the pooh bear theme aleady have the pictures for it because for DS i wonted to do pooh bear but once knowing it was a boy DH want cars theme and it grow on me...
With my first preg i didnt find out so we went with all while furniture and linin (so we could still add coulor later and what seems to be popular "pooh bear" stick abouts"
This time wefound out we were having a girl so we did a bright candy pink feature wall (still had the white furniture) and have done a beautiful butterfly and flower theme...
All i had to start off with was a Butterfly and flower Doona cover that i fell in love with and everything else came after that. we now have the butterflies and flowers (made out of netting) all around the plain white walls and the cot with white mosquito net with the pink linin in front of the feature wall... Looks great so happy with it...
Just have to do my DS new room now... he's into Thomas the tank engine...
The great thing is the Stick-a-bouts. they peel off when you want a new theme... No need to change the pain just the stickers.
Well it doesn't look like we were very original, but once we found out we were expecting a boy and a girl we went with Pooh and friends. We also decided on red curtains and a red rug with timber furniture so it was bright and cheery but suitable for both.
Dh was really pushing for a rocket ship theme....... and he lost! :P
I had no idea if Harrison was a girl or a boy, and he was also in our room, so we bought all his furniture in white, and had a white & silver stars theme for his section of the room. Everyone who saw it fell in love with it... it was beautiful.
He is still in our room, but his part of the room is now all Disney/Pixar Cars... he is obsessed with Lightning McQueen!
