Save the money, time, and effort for the ages that the kids want to have some say in how their rooms look. Otherwise you will just CRY when your little girl decides she hates pink, or you end up having to have bunkbeds which cover up the window and cool decorations on the walls =)

I found them online again by going to target.com and doing a search for “wall applique.”

They even had one that has the pictures and words from the book “Guess How Much I Love You.”

~ My children will be raised to appreciate “ocher” and “melon” instead of just yellow and orange. Why not start from day one? You can easily get a room that screams “adorable baby” without using pink or blue, and without devaluing the room for those who come afterward.

~ I grew up with an oil painting of a dancer en pointe over my bed. It is a piece which I have come to treasure – something I’ll always adore. It has been with me through every sleepless night, every little girl daydream. I guarantee I would not have the same attachment to a Winne-the-Pooh print. Don’t water down the world for baby.

~ A nursery is a temporary habitat. I recommend decorating with things you pull from other places in your house (side tables, baskets, etc.) and pieces which will transition into grown up land easily. Old things can look completely new in a new room, with a new baby.

Those points said, I prefer Traditional (though pink and brown is SO overdone) and Elegant looks listed above. I think the nursery should be a very special place, but doesn’t have to be an overhaul. And remember to be sweet and have two chairs… one for Dad.
Those points made.

I can’t wait to start reading, but have a feeling that I can easily forget about my other life responsibilities and spend a few days straight reading all of the amazing posts…

Btw, congratulations on the engagement, the marriage & the baby on the way!! So happy for you.

P.S. I definitely like the Serene for the nurser =)
