Have you decided on yours yet? If so, what are your color schemes and themes. If not, then what are some of your ideas?
Yes. Baby Owls!!!!!!! Right Mrs Spring? =]
Already DH to get the hell over it, it's happening. It's unisex but it makes me sad that it is EVERYWHERE cuz i've been wanting this theme since before owls were super popular.
I'm not preggers yet, but do you know of that children's book called, "Guess How Much I Love You?" I adore that book but more so, the illustrations. So when it's my time, these this is the theme I want to roll with. Everytime I look at the pictures from this story, it makes my heart ache...they are so cute.
@StephinPA - I have not heard of that book but I bet you should be able to find something to match that. Besides it is super cute!!
@ejs - that stinks. I hate when things that aren't super popular all of a sudden is everywhere. Kind of like my real name. It was very unique growing up but now I hear it all over the place. It was bound to happen but I like that it was mine :)
when the time comes, i think we'll do something like multi-colored polka dots...love this:

Agreed. But, it makes finding baby owl stuff easier. Plus, I doubt any of my friends/family IRL would actually do baby owls. Everybody still does zoo animals and under the sea and other cute stuff. Owls are kinda like "whaaat?" but I was a Chi Omega in college so it totally makes sense =]
@Krissycake, OMG that is ADORABLE!
When I took photos for a friend, her nursery was ELECTRIC colored. It was crazy bright but super cute. She got everything from Ikea

@ejs -i just love how 'light' the room feels. I am guessing that when the time comes, as much as I love pink, we might have to choose like a green or yellow for the wall in the interest of if we have more than one child...but yeah, I love dots and circles.
and i really love the baby owl idea =) i agree on the idea of things getting popular AFTER you announce it's something you like, though! hehe, i remember when everyone started liking the color brown as an accent with things and it had been one of my fave colors for years...i don't know why, obviously it wasn't "MINE" but i felt all annoyed that other people took "MY" color. it's silly.
wow, i am also loving those bright colors! very fashionable, hehe.
And for some reason...I also dig a green/purple combo for a nursery. But the bunny rabbits still trump it.
@Krissycake - that nursery is SUPER CUTE! I absolutely love it.
@ejs - I completely understand and WOW, those colors are fab!
I am doing a cliche pink nursery and am SO excited! We are painting wide pink and white stripes on one wall, getting a monogram decal from etsy to hang over the cribe, this is our bedding
And we are hanging a chandelier for her. I am not typically a girly-girl, but I can't help myself!
@RI Bride - I LOVE that princessy pink nursery =D ADORABLE!!!
@stephenPA, I dig that weird purple/marooney shade (like a plum i guess?) with a turquoise but DH says it's too girly. I like it but it's also uber popular now. Blah!
@Roddybride, yeah the colors were great, but honestly, SOOOOO intense i wondered if the baby would get any sleep, lol! The walls were fuscia, turquoise, and bright lime green. Very cool tho
@ejs - LOL, I was thinking the same thing about the big, bright and bold colors! It seems kinda CHAOTIC!
@ejs - hoping the intense colors don't mess with the kid's mind. It might put the kid in the twilight zone...
LOL. Well they are new parents so maybe they just thought it was fresh but didn't think about the stimulating aspect. Not gonna lie, it made for great photos!
But i loved all their weird little stuffed animals from Ikea. They're like alien plus zoo animal crosses. I'm determined to go to Chicago with DH to go buy stuff now =].
Yeah, I have been through the kids section of ikea. They have some awesome toys for them, so I will definitely be making a visit. How can I not, my job is literally 2 minutes from one of their locations.
I bought my niece a small tent for her and she loved it. She's had it for 6 years but I think they threw it away this year since my pooch decided to use it as a bathroom...
Ack! Everything is so stinking cute I'm squealing out loud at work!!
My husband is a die-hard Green BayPackers fan, so he thinks we're doing a green & gold theme. I'm a hard-core San Diego Chargers fan, so I say blue & gold. I don't think we'll be doing either. My husband also plays Hockey, so that's been tossed in, but I'm not super into it. I like Eric Carle, but he's not into it. Not crazy about the generic sports theme, either. We totally don't have our stuff together on this. My hubs is an engineer, so maybe something around that. He's also Finnish, so maybe something around that!
For my daughters, I had a violets theme for my daughter, whose name is Violet! And for my Lulu, I had a pink & black Parisienne theme that was really cute! If we have another girl, though, I'm doing Alice in Wonderland, bc we just inherited a ton of antique tea sets and I love Alice in Wonderland!
Ok NOT preggers but I have two definite themes:
This one will never be hubby-approved but PUG themed in a classy way...
OR a giraffe theme but like, CLASSY giraffes not cartoon-y crazy giraffes.
CUUUUUTE, kjpugs! Those photos are adroable. Or paintings? love them!
I like the "classy" animal look, too. Not the crazy weird cartooney animals. Unless they're like that weird giraffe in my picture above, really colorful and stuff. I couldn't do like, a mickey mouse theme or other cartoon theme. Or spongebob. You know that kind of stuff. Just like classy stuff in general and not overly kitschy. =]
Of course, I say that now but I don't have kids yet. I may get overcome with the kitschiness
My son's nursery was a jungle theme! It was so cute :) He now has an outdoor theme, with camping and stuff.
@kjpugs - I LOVE the puggy idea! Those pictures are just too cute and you can do so much with those colors around the nursery!
EJS! You know me so well! I'll just say, too, that even though owls are becoming more popular, it's still not very mainstream. When I told my mom we were planning on decorating in owls, she seriously had the most confused look on her face. :) I still don't think she really "gets" it, lol.
This quilt is our inspiration, and I am decorating everything around it. Our colors are honeydew melon, white, and yellow cream (the quilt is being made in those colors). The main wall color will be honyedew melon, and we're trying to find a local art student to paint a mural on one wall of a forest with owls (kinda like this one, but with more trees on the wall and all in shades of the yellow cream color instead of multi-colored/textured). We were going to use hand-me-down furniture, but my in-laws graciously offered to buy us furniture set this week. Woot! Crib, Dresser, and Toy Box. Also, my husband is going to create an LED light show on the ceiling; he found the info on instructables.com, and he's been dying to do it ever since. I guess that's what I get for marrying an engineer. :)
I'm so excited to start decorating, but unfortunately I have to wait until my husband is done remodeling the bathroom. I think we'll start on the nursery in March.
I've loved turtles forever, and have a ton of figures people have given me! So, we're doing a turtle/water theme.
apple green walls, white wainscoating, possible some ocean/wave decals
Here's 2 Cocalo themes I like:
http://www.babybeddingtown.com/cocalo-turtle-reef-baby-bedding.html
http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-4-Piece-Baby-Crib-Bedding/dp/B000F1QV20
also not preggo, but when the time does come, if it's a girl (and i'm sure if it's a boy i'll find a way to have some blue or green pigs!) i'm sure i'll force my obsession of pigs onto my child!
Those pug pics are from a calendar from my friend's store, www.pugnotes.com. Someone took the calendar pages and framed them to be that artwork! Isn't that great?!?!
All of those photos are SO cute! I still have a LONG time before I need to decide on anything like this, but it's so fun to look at all of the cute ideas!
Speaking of owl quilts!
I'm making one for my friend (Also a XO)
I love the honeydew color! In fact, I'm digging it with a light cantalope and kraft, with black furniture in my head. Ooo that sounds pretty!
I'm so obsessed with baby owl stuff. And I love how all the baby stuff is becoming chic now.

@Kjpugs, that website pugnotes doesn't work? It says invalid/bad host for me =(
What a cute quilt, ejs! I love how each owl is different. Also, we have very similar tastes in colors, it seems. :)
WHOOPS no www! it's http://pugnotes.com/
She does other dogs too, and LOTS of products.
@Mrs Spring, thanks! I had to make sure not to pick anything girly/manly b/c they don't know what sex the baby will be.
She did buy the baby this:
Onesie because she has a french bulldog.
Look what I found, kjpugs! Pug Onesie
Is that a pug I see? Yes I think it is! This one's fun, too: Onesie
Love it all!
Boys---VINTAGE AIRPLANES of course! Daddy's a jet pilot!
Girl---Monet's Water lily paintings will be the inspiration! *love Monet*!

Not preggers...yet, but I already have some nursery ideas up my sleeve. I want color. One of my ideas (for a girl) is to do a Candyland theme. Like the board game..only more vintage. My inspiration:
For a boy, I'm thinking maybe robots or rocketships:
This site is wonderous for inspiration (check out their real rooms section): http://projectnursery.com/
How cool is this room though: http://gallery.projectnursery.com/projects/85, some people are sooo creative!
@Virginia Marie, HOW COOL!
I just so happen to work for an aerospace corporations and my desk has tons of airplane crap all over it! Your baby needs this: Future Pilot Romper haha.
@MsSushi, thanks for the link! Those are some cool nurseries!!
lol no problem. Airplanes pay our bills. I have a love/hate relationship =]
@MsSushi, dang. some people are crazy creative. Reminds me of the Creative Cube things
