Ive started clearing out our spare bedroom which has thus far just been the rom my husband saves stuff into when he’s cleaning 🙄
Has anyone else started? Any ideas for themes and colors? I’d love to have a thread where people can post updates of their progress on their nurseries!

It’ll either be jungle themed or woodland themed 🤷🏼♀️ it’ll depend on what decals I can find since warranty says no painting for two years. I have all the baby stuff cordoned off in the room to be come the nursery, but that’s as far as I’ve got. We did monkeys for DS1 and jungle for DS2 (neither of my kids were born and brought home to the same place and wall decals don’t transfer well when they’ve been on the walls for 2+ years 😂).

I have started thinking about it but honestly won’t put too much thought/effort in until after the 20 week ultrasound where we find out the sex. I need to clean out the room as well as it currently is our guest room. Our 9 yo is a girly room or pink/purple/glitter and our 1 year old has a jungle/safari theme (although mainly elephant). No ideas where we will go with this one.

The room we're going to use is currently filled with boxes from our closet system that we put in. I've been bugging H to break them down and take them to the recycling place for weeks now. I've been looking at themes for a while now and think I've settled on wildflowers in pink and navy blue. Here's what's saved in my Etsy right now that I'm working from. Attachment Deleted |

cateyes , I feel you, I definitely want to know the sex before I decide on colors and decor and such. I should find out in the next week, I think I’m going to get really into the nursery once I know haha cmb , there’s a lot of woodland stuff out there, and always a lot of jungle stuff! I’m sure you’ll be able to find some good decals for whichever! goldenlove , That’s a really great color combo, love the wildflowers! I’ve been thinking about an eclectic nursery, I just love having the color pop from the art and decor on the walls and having the nursery be bright and open I can’t figure out how to post pics on my iPad, but here’s a cute nursery www.rockmyfamily.co.uk/fun-eclectic-nursery-for-huey/

I'll be living vicariously through you all. The new baby will be in our room for 1-2 years and then hopefully by then we will be in a new house. Right now we are in a 3 bedroom so if we stay here some of the kids will share rooms. I'd really like to be in a 4 bedroom house though so we can have a guest room.

One room per kid and the den is the playroom. My ILs are pissed they can’t stay in the house because we don’t have a spare room now 😂 |

No mortgage, no say! 😂 They helped us with the down payment/closing costs, so of course they now think they own the place. My MIL in particular is a “special” one about this. Yet we’re the ones with the multi 6 figure mortgage 🙄 |

Well, the money is spent and the baby is coming, they’ll have to get over it |

We have four bedrooms, but one is a combo playroom/guest bedroom/office. Our 6 year old is on the spectrum and really needs his own space. The plan was to have the baby with us for a year and then move he/she in with DD. Now that there’s potentially two of them we have to think about giving up that extra space, a remodel, or moving. |

Same here, unless something happens for us before then. We live in a 3br, but MH works from home and needs a room as a dedicated office. |

We have a 3 bedroom house currently and the nursery is a Noah’s ark/jungle theme. It was DD’s nursery first and then she moved to her “big girl room” when she turned 3 a month before DS was born and it became his nursery. The baby will be in our room for at least 6 months and then we will have to decide on which 2 kids share a room and go from there on design plans. If we end up selling our house and moving who knows. The house we like is also 3 bedrooms upstairs, the 4th bedroom is on the main floor. We would want to keep all the kids upstairs for several years so two would share there too

I think we are doing a Star Wars theme, regardless of which flavor this baby is.

I'll love to follow along with you guys and your nurseries! We're not doing one. We'll be moving cross-country in July. Baby will room share with the parents probably for the first year like we did with J. We didn't do a nursery for her either. I do have to eventually think about furniture for J's room, though!
