I have a picture in my head but I really need to just sit down and sketch it!</p> <p><a href="http://www.urbanthreads.com/products.aspx?productid=UT2911" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanthreads.com/products.aspx?productid=UT2911</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-780561 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:53:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 780561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay my first suggestion - LOVE these animal fabric decals from Gingiber. I have the owl and love it. Great quality and it's easily removable. She has other animal items too. So super cute!<br /> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/95659021/lion-reusable-fabric-wall-decal-large?ref=shop_home_active" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/95659021/lion-reusable-fabric-wall-decal-large?ref=shop_home_active</a></p> <p>Also LOVE that fabric leialou posted - and $5-$6 a yard is a great price for fabric!!</p> <p>And secondly I LOVE this spray painted animal trend. spray painted animal busts for the walls, as coat racks, shelf decor, etc... so cute.<br /> <a href="http://www.abubblylife.com/2013/03/diy-neon-animal-pushpins.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.abubblylife.com/2013/03/diy-neon-animal-pushpins.html</a><br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/199284352232460260/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/199284352232460260/</a><br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/121878733638407665/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/121878733638407665/</a><br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/5136987045201494/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/5136987045201494/</a><br /> <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/465067098990331745/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/465067098990331745/</a> ( possibly a DIY project??)</p> <p>@NaturallyCathy: love those bookshelves! I'm having a hard time visualizing what you're talking about with scrollwork though..? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-780531 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:42:46 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 780531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had a thought. Tell me what you think. There's the bookcases you see all the time, like this one from Ana White:</p> <p><a href="http://ana-white.com/2011/06/perfect-bookshelves-0" rel="nofollow">http://ana-white.com/2011/06/perfect-bookshelves-0</a></p> <p>Imagine the walls are a light teal blue (sea blue) and the bookshelves are white. Then I could use white paint above them to make them look like Victorian cage with the pretty scroll work? And I thought I could also maybe do the silhouette of a zebra or giraffe or both in white on the walls somewhere. What do you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-778774 Mon, 13 May 2013 16:30:44 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 778774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course, the funny thing is that the more I look around the house, the more I see that the zoo theme would have come out sooner or later! Here's a few items that lend itself to the zoo theme: my boppy cover, my favorite warm blanket for the kids, and the curtains my mother made (which will remain downstairs in the playroom, not go up to the nursery), and this crib bedding. Not to mention, of course, the stuffed animals my mom crocheted for them.</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mmraf9.600x448.063.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mmrafc.600x448.062.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mmrafe.600x448.Curtain-Detail.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mmrafg.600x448.Made-with-Love.jpg] </p> [attach=3089/13/mmravp.448x600.Inside-Crib.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-778588 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:14:39 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 778588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I can and we had intended to do something similar before - the white birch trees, painted, then each wall would be dedicated to a season. I thought of maybe doing some white victorian style cages on the blue walls instead. Would rather leave the colors in items we can swap later as the kids grow, like curtains and such </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-778580 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:12:31 +0000 StbHisMrs 778580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a couple ideas ~<br /> This one is very modern and would definitely grow</p> <p>This came from houzz.com I searched safari</p> <p><a href="http://projectnursery.com/2013/01/design-reveal-silver-safari/" rel="nofollow">http://projectnursery.com/2013/01/design-reveal-silver-safari/</a><br /> <div><a href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/3435299/Baby--C--Nursery-traditional-kids-vancouver'><img src='http://st.houzz.com/simgs/f87180fc015bac8e_8-2454/traditional-kids.jpg' /></a></div>&lt;div style='color:#444;'&gt;&lt;small&gt;<a href='http://www.houzz.com/photos/traditional/kids'>Traditional Kids</a> by <a href='http://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build/c/North-Vancouver--BC'>North Vancouver Design-build</a> <a href='http://www.houzz.com/pro/thedesignden/the-design-den-homes-inc'>The Design Den Homes Inc.</a>&lt;/small&gt;</p> <p>Seriously cute stuff!!

If I had the time, I would do that in my son's room (but with ocean and boats and streets and cars) because he's obsessed with transportation at the moment. </p> <p>Can you freehand paint? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-778540 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:59:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 778540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I know.

And I could make them each a crib sheet out of it to match. Not in love with the price per yard though :/ Ah the pocket pain of designing a nursery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-778515 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:51:13 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 778515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @cyndistar3: Agreed :) I'll keep it in mind. Of course, it doesn't surprise me to find an owl and a warthog in the living room, a tiger in the kitchen, or a giraffe in the hallway anymore... I don't know what it'd be to have them all in one place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-778395 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:21:03 +0000 cyndistar3 778395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: that's what I was thinking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-778375 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:17:39 +0000 heffalump 778375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I think people will buy stuffed animals no matter what.

Love the letters and numbers:</p> <p><a href="http://www.whatisblik.com/shop/explore?kids=195" rel="nofollow">http://www.whatisblik.com/shop/explore?kids=195</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-figure-out-this-theme#post-778255 Mon, 13 May 2013 13:44:27 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 778255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I were looking around the house and we noticed something - about 80% of the stuffed animals that H has are zoo animals. In fact, two of his favorite stuffed animals? A white tiger from his first trip to the zoo that his daddy picked out for him and a kangaroo that I picked out for him. He sleeps with both every night and is often seen dragging them around the house with him!</p> <p>So we're scratching our woodland idea for the nursery and instead turning it into a zoo. (I know, who didn't see that coming ;))</p> <p>Our only problem is how do you make a zoo theme that will grow? It has to be somewhat gender neutral, not too cheesy, but we definitely want to bring the zoo theme into the room. I have tons of pictures that I took the first time we took H to the zoo and I can't wait to add pictures from when we take Em to the zoo but we also want to add zoo themed art work. We're not going to do animal prints but prints with animals on them? Sure. Elephant pillow is on my list along with a few other things but... how on earth do you plan a nursery around a zoo? And it's going to house two children (boy and girl). Any suggestions? </p> <p>Feel free to post inspiration pictures for us! Doesn't have to be obvious zoo themed or it can look exactly like a zoo!</p> <p>Here are pictures of the space completely empty (the day we took possession of it). It's roughly 12 feet by 15 feet. And don't worry, the hole in the wall was where a wall heater was, we're going to be taking care of that first!</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mmr2q5.600x448.165.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mmr2q8.600x448.166.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mmr2qa.600x448.168.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=3089/13/mmr2qe.600x448.167.JPG] </p>
