Please post your nursery pics

Hi Ladies I need your help.
I know this has been done before, but DH and I have changed our mind about the nursery. I am looking for ideas.
Please post pics, or web links of a baby's room/nursery for a girl. Here is a pic of our bedding. It has cream, sage green and lavender in it as well. TIA Chat Icon

ETA: Our furniture is natural wood not white. We are looking for ideas on what color(s) to paint the room and should we put up a border or molding? We need to get the paint and stuff tomorrow b/c DH is having family come over to help him paint Saturday and my shower is next Sunday. Thanks again!

Re: Please post your nursery pics

I would paint the room lavendar and sage picking it up from the butterflies in the pattern.
I'd do a lavendar bottom, with a cream chair rail molding to break up the room and do a sage top. I think it would be a nice contrast to the pink bedding.

Great Idea, I love it! Keep 'em coming, Ladies.

We were thinking of sage green with a white picket fence on the walls with flowers and vines coming out of the pickets. However, my DH said the fence will look weird with the bars on the crib. He thought it would look like a jail cell (crazu I know).
Since we decided that one of us would have veto power and we would both HAVE to agree on the baby's room, the fence idea was scratched.

Or the opposite could also be nice, the lavendar to be like the sky and the green like grass and then you could still do flowers, just without the fence.

How? Paint flowers on top of the rail molding?

Though I LOVE the fence idea... my aunt's friend did this for her daughters room and they ended up tearing it down as soon as the baby could crawl. It ended up not being safe! The edges were not smooth enough for small hands to grab it.
So it's probably better off that you're not doing it.

I was thinking more like up from the floor on the green part.

Our nursery is gender neutral. We painted the top half of our wall yellow, the bottom green and used the matching wallpaper border as a sort of chair rail. Now Sarah stands up in her crib in the morning and tries to pet the animals on the border.

And good point about the fencing, I would have never thought about that.

I Like both ideas. Thanks.

C'mon ladies I have to come up with a few more ideas to run past DH. Any more ideas? TIA Chat Icon

You can do a decorative treatment on the wall like ragging or stripes? Stripes are a little more labor intensive and you have to be neat but it looks cute. My friend had this done by a decorative painter. then you could do a handpainted border either at the top or middle of the wall with or without chair rail

We are big fans of molding. We ripped out all the molding in her nursery and added thicker molding all over, including fluted molding around the doors and windows, chair rail, crown molding and base molding. We changed the door knobs to shiny brass French door knobs and put a crystal chandelier in the room.

And we also like to paint our ceilings a different color other than white. It adds contrast to the room. Her walls are bubble gum pink and ceiling is a pale pink. Have fun Chat Icon
