Thinking about the baby room...

So, Matt and I have started planning for the baby room. We still don't know the sex of the baby, so its still all up in the air of what we will really do. We are currently painting the room a neutral tan color, and will probably go with a light blue wide bar around the top along with the light blue ceiling. I know that blue typically isn't used in a girl room - but I don't really want frilly decorations for a girl anyway, and we can still add plenty of decorations to make it suitable for a girl. Since neither I nor Matt are talented in the art of mural painting, I've decided to go with wall decals to add the kid-like touch.

As a gender neutral room, I was thinking about having a large tree that is along the same wall as the crib. The picture below I think is great as a full wall length, and the colors of both the tree and leaves can be changed to whichever I choose. I would most likely do a dark brown tree with green leaves.


For a boys room, both Matt and I like the world map. I know its a little grown up, but you can make it very fun and kid friendly because it doubles as a chalk board. I would probably place it above a long dresser, and add baby boy/kid elements to it to spruce it up a bit.

For the girl room I want to add some type of floral wall art above the crib. This one also appears to be more adult, but I think that once its placed in a nursery that it will look adorable.
