You guys are making me feel extremely behind. We haven't even decided where this kid will sleep. Right now our only other bedroom is our office/storage/toy room. We considered converting that to the nursery but we aren't sold on being on a different level than the baby (other two bedrooms are upstairs). Our bedroom is pretty small so the crib would be a tight fit for him to room with us but we don't want a newborn sharing a room with DS until he's sleeping through the night. We should probably decide soon. You and me both. We haven't even decided if we will get another crib or move DS to a regular bed. I figure by the time we are ready to move this little guy into his own room, DS will be close to 3 and have an opinion on which room he wants. Either the baby will go into what is now the guest room or we will move DS in there and move the baby into the room that is now the nursery.

Ohh, these posts are very inspirational! I am loving some of these nurseries. I was actually randomly up in the middle of the night trying to figure out what DD2's nursery will be. For DD1, her room was gray and I did purples and aqua with elephants. This time, I have no idea 🤷🏼♀️. What I do know is: I have all the furniture from DD1 so we just need to convert the toddler bed back to a crib. DD is already in a big girl bed, but her room isn't fully put together yet. Since we just moved into our house, the nursery will likely be the last thing on our list because I need to get the rest of the house in order.
But, I'm thinking of doing a peach color theme with maybe owls? Clearly, I've spent a ton of a time thinking about this.

Now that we know that it's abbot we are tossing up nursery ideas. We are thinking either space/Star Wars or Dinosaurs

Ok now that it's a boy I've got some good ideas. DDs main colors are teal/aqua, gold, & pink. I think I will carry the teal & gold into the boy side & add sky blue or navy blue like some of this: AND I think this is exactly the color I want the walls in their room. It would be perfect with DDs stuff too:

Ok so now that we know it's another girl, we've made some strides in deciding on nursery decor. This is the bedding set we're going with: With these prints from Etsy (with a different quote in the middle): We already have a beige rug in that room so we'll likely stick with that. And then MH wants to paint, so we'll probably paint it a neutral beige such as this "gravelstone" color:

We are currently working on converting our master into two smaller bedrooms, one for the nursery and one for DS since there will be such an age gap.
We won't know the gender until the 29th so planning is difficult. So far I know I'm using furniture from rooms around the house and will paint it accordingly. I can't find bedding though for boys or girls that speaks to me. With DS we did fire trucks and it was an easy choice and perfect match but this time I'm struggling.

I love this thread. It's so exciting to decorate the nursery. That being said, we'll just use the same things/room from the previous two babies. I move DS into DD's room over the weekend. That's been...interesting.

I am feeling the urge to move some furniture around, just so I can think about how stuff is going to look in the nursery so maybe I can think a little bit about where things will go and what I want things to look like.
This will involve swapping a twin bed for a full bed and moving the electric fireplace out of the nursery and I think into the dining room for now? Then I have been told I can have a crib and a changing table from my aunt so it will mean collecting those things from her house. Once I have all of the furniture I will start thinking about if/how I would like to refinish any of the furniture. And we can occupy ourselves with all of that until we find out boy or girl.

I can't find any bedding I like. I haven't gone into BRU yet. I am hoping to find something I like there. I am going to make a registry and just not give it to anyone. I want the completion coupon and the gift card you get. If it still works the way it did 2 1/2 years ago you get a gift card for 5% of what was purchased off of your registry up to $300. Once you get to $300 it will increase to 10% percent. It was nice getting that gift card last time around. Even if I am the only person to guy from my registry, I will put diapers and such on it just so I get the gift card.

marygracerich, we did the same thing at BRU, Target and Amazon. I am sure I can find something that I need with the completion coupon from each.

I don't think I'm doing a set though, I think I'll just get sheets on the color scheme I think I've picked. I've got some orange and white sheets pinned from land of of.

Bedding is always hard for me so I decided to make my own quilt and buy sheets. Most of the sets in the store are super "cutsy" and just not my style...

I don't like the "themey" stuff so I just pick color schemes and mix & match sheets etc. DDs ended up being a little floral-y but mostly focusing on colors.

I'm late to this thread but I think I've figured out how to post photos! We've just painted the nursery white and ordered these polka dots to go on one wall. I already have a red bookshelf in the room so I think this should tie in well. I'm on the look out for different black and white crib sheets and some pillows to go on the glider. We're not finding out the sex so I'm trying to keep it pretty gender neutral. Attachment Deleted

I've found a ton of different sheets on Etsy that look great. A lot more selection and variety than I have found in any of the baby stores.

I found a quilt for DDS big girl room! The walls will be pink. Furniture will be white but that will take some work... That's all I've got for now. I want to get a grey rug for her room. I think it'll just be plain grey berber so thankfully inexpensive. There will be plenty of color otherwise.

Wallpaper samples came! 😍 Should I do it? Which one do you like? I think the center option would end up being the least in your face. I usually have a golden yellow crib sheet on. Also I'd be losing the dream big sign, so that isn't competing with the floral.
