I was thinking that too, but couldn't fathom how to work in a donkey, and then I Googled and saw this: <a href="https://www.pier1.com/topper-the-donkey-with-baskets-natural-decor/3208986.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.pier1.com/topper-the-donkey-with-baskets-natural-decor/3208986.html</a></p> <p>He's actually kinda cute! Maybe for the bookshelf? :silly:</p> <p>ETA: And this lantern has an interesting shape: <a href="https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/nantucket-brass-lantern" rel="nofollow">https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/nantucket-brass-lantern</a> I like the pic with the moss/stones inside. I'd definitely use an LED "candle," though! </p> <p>While I'm on the Anthro site, this lamp is pricey, but would be amazing: <a href="https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/sibley-floor-lamp" rel="nofollow">https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/sibley-floor-lamp</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-midsummer-nights-dream-nursery#post-2778137 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 15:33:51 +0000 skiierchck99 2778137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing useful to add but this was my wedding theme and this is making me think I should steal this idea for baby girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-midsummer-nights-dream-nursery#post-2778131 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 15:24:23 +0000 knittylady 2778131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trees and maybe a funny or cute stuffed donkey? This is my favorite play :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-midsummer-nights-dream-nursery#post-2778105 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 13:21:50 +0000 MaryM 2778105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For less expensive mobile options, maybe try pinterest?</p> <p>I've asked my sister (who does Stampin Up) to make a star one with glitter paper and a couple sized punches. </p> <p>This one is really pretty! <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/326581410465943707/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/326581410465943707/</a> </p> <p>Or something like this <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/519039925776587542/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/519039925776587542/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-midsummer-nights-dream-nursery#post-2778102 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 13:13:54 +0000 honeybear 2778102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meowkers: Ooh, I'd also get a lantern (or maybe some sort of lighted moon) and a little stuffed dog for the room as a nod to "Pyramus and Thisbe." :wink: Bonus points if you happen to have an exposed brick wall, although I think that might look strange with the Greek key pattern... :silly: </p> <p>And I think one of those Renaissance fair-type flower garland crowns with ribbons hanging down would be a neat wall hanging if you can find one that coordinates with your mural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-midsummer-nights-dream-nursery#post-2778083 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 12:32:56 +0000 raspberries 2778083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is her crib going in front of the feature wall? What color will the other walls be?</p> <p>I feel like you could either take it toward pink and light green to make it more fairy/girly, or you could go with jewel tones (navy/emerald/plum) and make it a little more edgy. Either way, I'd probably do a lot of woodland green touches and try to incorporate gold accents and some stars/moons to bring in the night time/dreaming part. Maybe hang something like this:</p> <p><a href="https://www.landofnod.com/luxe-star-cloud-mobile/s635292" rel="nofollow">https://www.landofnod.com/luxe-star-cloud-mobile/s635292</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-midsummer-nights-dream-nursery#post-2778033 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 10:25:45 +0000 Meowkers 2778033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: thank you so much for the lovely suggestions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-midsummer-nights-dream-nursery#post-2777847 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 12:53:53 +0000 honeybear 2777847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neat theme! I like that mural.</p> <p>I might get this book and put some of the fairy pictures in frames (they'd be kind of little prints, but they'd work for a series and I doubt you'll find bigger versions): <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Rackhams-Fairies-Elves-Goblins-Illustrations/dp/0486460231/ref=pd_sim_14_2?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;refRID=D73FPHGBYCEAVT8FR0BN" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/Rackhams-Fairies-Elves-Goblins-Illustrations/dp/0486460231/ref=pd_sim_14_2?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;refRID=D73FPHGBYCEAVT8FR0BN</a></p> <p>Or maybe parts of this book (not AMND-related, but fairies and more "cutesy" than Rackham) would work: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Flower-Fairies/dp/0723248397/ref=pd_sim_14_9?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;refRID=9XKBH2WGK023FNM53VKY" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Flower-Fairies/dp/0723248397/ref=pd_sim_14_9?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;refRID=9XKBH2WGK023FNM53VKY</a> </p> <p>There are a bunch of fairy-related things to check out here: <a href="http://www.magiccabin.com/shop-all-everything-fairies/shop-all-everything-fairies.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.magiccabin.com/shop-all-everything-fairies/shop-all-everything-fairies.htm</a></p> <p>I'd probably do several things (like pillows or curtains or a rug) with a Greek key pattern or other nod to ancient Greece, too. </p> <p>Oh, and I'd definitely put a "fairy door" somewhere in the room. :) </p> <p>But I think I might reconsider the quote. I see it everywhere and it strikes me as odd in most of the girl-power contexts in which it's used. I mean, it's from a cat fight and is supposed to be a nasty insult, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-midsummer-nights-dream-nursery#post-2777839 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 11:09:00 +0000 Meowkers 2777839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently decorating a nursery for DD2 (due in February). I've decided on a loose theme of A Midsummer Night's dream. One wall will be a floral mural (see picture). I'm also going to hang up a print of the famous quote from the play. Besides butterflies and woodland fairies what else do you imagine in a nursery like this? All inspiration is welcome. </p> [attach=5170/17/oxcy70.337x600.IMG_6571.PNG] [attach=5170/17/oxcy71.337x600.IMG_6628.PNG]
