Also, I totally know (of) that artist!!

Decided to keep the busy curtains, and I think it sorta works? </p> [attach=2635/13/mjog90.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-589511 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 21:23:18 +0000 mlm2934 589511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: I'm off to buy that pillow!!! I'm own the look out for plush owl, bird stuff :)</p> <p>And I agree with everyone else - solid curtains and love the rest </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-589460 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:46:57 +0000 softcream 589460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how big is your nursery? if there's a lot of space in the room with gaps between all the patterns, it might work out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-589430 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 20:29:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 589430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>super cute!!</p> <p>I'm the oddball though and think you should do a less busy rug - but keep the rest (including the curtains! love!)</p> <p>I think it's adorable and all spaced out it shouldn't look too busy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-589376 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 19:55:57 +0000 LaughLines 589376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like @MRS. LEMON-LIME 's comment about repeating colors/patterns 3 times. Maybe one way you could do it is to only have one color of wood - right now it looks like you have white crib and shelves but dark rocker and changing dresser - maybe make them all the same? I think it looks great!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-589000 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 13:20:11 +0000 loveisstrange 589000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote for a simpler rug rather than a solid curtain. I'm not digging the green in the rug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588986 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 12:55:48 +0000 Smurfette 588986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do solid curtain or rug but otherwise looks great!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588951 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 12:13:59 +0000 maybebaby 588951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Thank you!! Hoping once it is all set, the curtains will be OK--esp since they are gray/tan, not a crazy color. I may have to rethink the chevron explosion with the cribskirt/sheet/rug...I think I got a little chevron crazy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588926 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 11:58:01 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 588926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE the curtain...don't change it! I love chevron too, but I realized that you can really only do one thing in chevron. But I think if you choose a simpler rug, the rest will all go well together.</p> <p>Great work so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588878 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 11:03:51 +0000 maybebaby 588878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: It does look kind of green here--IRL it is more turquoise, pulling out the spots of turquoise from the owl pillow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588827 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 10:17:38 +0000 Bao 588827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: wow and it's so reasonable! I may need one of those ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588816 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 10:12:19 +0000 Pink Champagne 588816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's really cute! The only change I would make is to change that rug- the green in it is really throwing me off. Maybe look for something similar in yellow/grey? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588794 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 10:00:47 +0000 maybebaby 588794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the input, everyone! The curtains may be a bit much--I've already ordered the fabric for them, but can reuse them in another room in the apartment if it simply doesn't work.</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: That is a REALLY good idea about repeating fabric, and I definitely plan to make some matching pillows/other details out of leftover fabrics, if it all comes together.</p> <p>@Bao: Thank you! :) The owl pillow is from Target, it was the first thing I bought for the room! <a href="http://www.target.com/p/toss-pillow-owl/-/A-14139825" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/toss-pillow-owl/-/A-14139825</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588783 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 09:53:33 +0000 Bao 588783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it looks really great! Everything should flow together nicely ;) Want to come and do LO's new room for me? lol</p> <p>ETA: where did you get that owl pillow I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588735 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 09:27:57 +0000 lemondrop 588735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my only suggestion is a solid curtain. Otherwise I really like it!</p> <p>Young House Love recently had a whole explanation about why they chose certain patterns for their big girl room, I found it really helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588734 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 09:27:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 588734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything coordinates. Try to repeat at least one print and one solid solid three times throughout the room. Three will make things look purposeful...lamp base/ shade, crib skirt, changing pad, decorative pillow, hamper, toy basket, curtain or part of curtain, paint, accent furniture...just repeat it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588729 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 09:23:33 +0000 ladyfingers 588729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree I like a solid curtain and maybe a different pattern for the sheet like a stripe or polka dot. I love it overall though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588724 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 09:17:59 +0000 Mrs. Polish 588724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love all the chevron. If this were my nursery though, I would probably do a solid curtain instead of a patterned one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-nursery-plan-too-busy#post-588714 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 09:11:04 +0000 maybebaby 588714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is a mock up of our plan for the nursery--I know it is a lot of patterns, but I think many of them are being used in such small amounts that it will come together...at least I hope. Any input? Thanks :)</p> <p>BTW - The funny little painting with the two guys is a very small original piece of art that DH bought for me when we first found out we were expecting--it is small enough that I don't think it will mess with the overall scheme, and it has tremendous sentimental value.</p> <p>[attach=2635/13/miofeg.600x450.Slide1.jpg] </p>
