Our nursery is currently decorated for my DS - in the twiddliwinks safari collection from target. http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_3/601-3147872-1349741?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B000E48JQE
my mother also made this really cute hanging thing - it's a branch suspended with vines on each side - resembling a swing - with a monkey hanging off the branch by its arms. super cute.
the crib is honey colored, and the dresser is 2 shades of light green with cream knobs. I have toy baskets that are light blue/dark blue and red/yellow that match the colors from the bedding. I also have several animal pictures and paintings. I'm wondering how in the world I should feminize the room for arriving DD!!
i've thought of painting the crib white, and adding purple or pink to the green. There's only 1 crate that's red/yellow, 2 light blue/dark blue, 1 light green/lighter green, and 4 that have not been yet painted. The purple and pink will totally clash with the red/yellow! Should I paint over it, or just put it on a different side of the room?? What cute things could I do to make sure it's a girls room, but still a boys room too??
We just moved into a new apartment, so I'm still putting the room together, when I do, I'll try to get pictures up. I'm hesitant to put it all up if I'm going to change some things. Plus we're really trying not to spend a fortune on this! We're also trying to decide if we should put DS in a bed or put DD in the (ugly) pack'n'play until DS is old enough for the bed. So many questions... I'm sorry for making this so long and laborous!
I would greatly appreciate any help and ideas you could give me!
