Yellow and gray in order to be gender-neutral for hopefully future babies. Formerly our guest room, kept most of the same furniture and just changed purposes (bookcases-&gt;"dresser", desk-&gt; changing table). Our guest bed is still in there but not pictured. I figure it would be good for guests (baby can sleep with us), or sometimes sleeping in baby's room when they're sick or napping. </p> [attach=5393/15/nyntab.337x600.2015-11-30-19.31.59.jpg] [attach=5393/15/nyntac.600x337.2015-11-30-19.32.14.jpg] [attach=5393/15/nyntad.600x337.2015-11-30-19.33.52.jpg] [attach=5393/15/nyntaf.600x389.2015-11-30-19.34.40.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2371893 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 23:29:31 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2371893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: oh I can't wait to see the dot wall!!</p> <p>Our built ins are finally finished!!

They were just shipped out today; I can't wait to get them and install them on the wall. :grin: </p> <p>Another kijiji score tonight. I got a white ikea sundvik crib, which is the crib I originally wanted. and I managed to score it for just 40$. Go me! </p> <p>(I figure I'll just resell the other crib I got originally - but even if you added the cost of the two cribs together I've still spent less than buying retail. 😂) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2361968 Wed, 18 Nov 2015 18:01:45 +0000 travellingbee 2361968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: ummm....

Would you get 110 one inch dots or two sets of 55 two inch dots? Or one set of 55/2inch dots? I want to do a rainfall type pattern so heavy on the top and lighter near the bottom.<br /> (The coloured dot on the wall, for reference, is 3 inches) </p> [attach=1915/15/ny151x.600x450.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2358338 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 14:01:05 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2358338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: @cvwood: thank you!

We finally got all the furniture put together and in its place, so I can start putting stuff on the walls.

That crib sheet is really cute.</p> <p>@MrsYellowJacket: That's what my living room looks like right now, which is the first stage of preparation for playing tetris with our space to fit in a toddler and a baby. I had no idea how long built-ins would take! They're worth it though, you're going to have a great space once they're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2357289 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 18:00:29 +0000 travellingbee 2357289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: @MrsYellowJacket: Thank you.<br /> @MrsYellowJacket: Love those built ins!

I just did a little redecorating and reorganized the baby stuff. I do still have some gifts to put away though so it isn't totally ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2357142 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:44:25 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2357142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I love that bunting! It all looks so cute!</p> <p>@DesertDreams88: oh no, you're not the only one! Our nursery/guest room is in shambles at the moment. I've been working on it forever it feels like but I swear it won't be totally ready until her due date! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2357116 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 14:16:47 +0000 DesertDreams88 2357116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: very cute! I plan to get the nursery done over Thanksgiving break when my ILs are here to help, Thursday-Sunday. I hope I'm not the only one with the "nursery" in shambles :) it's full of gifts but not organized at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2356983 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 11:39:10 +0000 travellingbee 2356983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursery is pretty much done! </p> [attach=3175/15/nxv7la.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2325148 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 22:13:07 +0000 sera_87 2325148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over the weekend I've made arrangements to buy a crib &amp; mattress, 4 ribba picture ledges, a dresser, a navy wingback chair &amp; a 5x7 white rug, all for a grand total of 230$. also picked out all the prints I want as well as priced out all the other decor/craft supplies for the room. Somebody stop me! 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2270716 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 08:03:14 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2270716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: adorable!</p> <p>Baby sister will be in middle sister's nursery.... that I still haven't finished.

Since our space will go back to an office, instead of buying furniture, we put our money towards office built ins. We'll use the desk as a changing table and run a rod in the cabinets for their hanging clothes. </p> <p>@littlebug: Love this!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2270692 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 07:09:26 +0000 littlebug 2270692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found this at Target and I'm so freakin excited! I had made a string art Nittany Lion for my sister and BIL a few years ago, and it was tough. I'd thought about doing something like this for Babygirl's room - now I don't have to! Yay!! </p> [attach=2005/15/ntjb3q.450x600.IMG_7621.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2270571 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 21:38:04 +0000 DesertDreams88 2270571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brady80: We're doing something very similar! Our office/guest room is black, white, and gray. It's becoming our guest room/nursery and we're adding in yellow through the crib sheets, changing pad sheets, fabric drawers, and bunting or decorations. </p> <p>We're keeping the furniture mostly the same. The hutch is coming off the desk and thus it's becoming a changing "table." The books are coming out of the bookcases (moving into our room) and being replaced with fabric drawers for clothing. The twin bed is staying in there. The only new piece of future we're buying is the crib; and maybbeee a glider but I don't think it will fit :(</p> <p>We've planned a gender-neutral nursery since we want to be able to use it for future babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2270501 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 19:04:50 +0000 MrsYellowJacket 2270501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: Hehe. The room were using was actually supposed to be DH's office and was a storage space when we moved. Two years later we finally cleaned it out :silly: I would be nervous if my MIL said she was going to make something....</p> <p>@littlebug: that's really nice!!</p> <p>@brady80: I would be doing the same thing!! Much of our bedding and such will be white/grey and we're accenting with peach and mint so we can reuse the majority in hopes for a boy in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2270261 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 06:28:17 +0000 brady80 2270261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a gender neutral nursery for LO 1 and we are going to move this baby into the nursery and move LO 1 into a "big girl" room. The walls are grey and the curtains are yellow and white. We have an elephant theme. I love everything about the nursery and am excited for another baby to use it. I feel a little guilty that this baby is getting a hand me down room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2269524 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 10:02:30 +0000 MaryM 2269524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, the pictures reminded me...</p> <p>I forgot to mention that MIL wants to make something to hang on the wall in the nursery. </p> <p>I am so scared! lol </p> <p>We don't exactly have similar tastes, so I can't even imagine what it's going to be... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/january-2016-nurseries#post-2269522 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 10:00:59 +0000 littlebug 2269522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going with a Paris and hot air balloon theme in Babygirl's room. The walls are already a nice muted tan, so we're going to keep that and then just incorporate coral and mint throughout. These prints are my inspiration, and I'm building off of these. </p> [attach=2005/15/ntftpn.509x600.il_570xN.187995244.jpg]
