Thanks for the kind words.</p> <p>@mrslemonlime yes! We have a loose Americana theme for our whole house. It felt silly to do it for the baby room too, but it would be really easy to decorate since I can just pull items from all over the place. We have been also thinking about the name Dixie for a girl, and Waylon is our boy name. It all kind of fits. Well baby is not due till March so I'm sure y'all Weill get lots of in progress looks too.</p> <p>@mrsmcd awesome, thanks for the tip! I just can't get over the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771805 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 12:24:49 +0000 deactivated_account 1771805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amurray: I agree with @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that the Sleepi crib would be awesome for the mid-century modern theme. You can find them on craigslist if you don't want to pay full price and are okay with used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771756 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 12:17:29 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1771756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amurray: although functional, the Sleepi crib will be super fun too.</p> <p>Camping/ rustic is gender neutral. OnToBaby.com has some fun "glamping" real nurseries to look at if you have a girl. The striped chair and your VW reminds me of Americana. You have several fun design options! Don't forget to post your finished room. We love eye candy. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771669 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:57:37 +0000 stargal 1771669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooo I love the wallpaper so much and think you can def pull it off for a boy! Butttt I love.the camping idea more and think that idea is totally gender neutral too. I would do the rustic/camping idea. Ooo u will have to post pics once u have it done, o bet.it will look amazing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771641 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:45:51 +0000 youboots 1771641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamaof2 I know, I have not thought much about birth in the past, but The not thing I always imagined my Dr saying "it's a ____" finding out would be great for planning purposes but I just can't do it :) yes, the van sleeps two up top and two below. My parents bought it before I was born, and when my Dad left the Air Force we lived in it in Europe for 4 months. They gave it to us a few years ago. I'm excited to repeat some family traditions.</p> <p>@rrachael it's peel and stick so it's easy to get off ;)</p> <p>Maybe I should just skip a theme and do Mid Century Modern inspired so it's more gender neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771590 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:32:34 +0000 rrachael 1771590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Wallpaper only because it's super cute and potentially a pain to get off ;) However, it's not super gender neutral ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771540 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:20:12 +0000 Mamaof2 1771540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hard to pick because that wall paper would be awesome for a little girls room but I like the camping theme and colors more for a boy!</p> <p>I have never seen a van like that!! Do you sleep in the pop up part? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771524 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:16:51 +0000 youboots 1771524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Lemon Lime, love that site, thanks for the recommendation! I'm leaning towards the Sleepi because when it's round in can roll right through all the rooms upstairs. I love that natural and white look though. You recognized mid century model, kindred spirit, I love that look and feel.</p> <p>@lulumom I agree. I figured it would not clash with the gold in the wallpaper so we do not *have* to get rid of it. Normally I would agree about it leaning towards a boy but our friends nursery changed my mind. They were team green too. Originally they were doing a whale themed nursery, then I suggested an adventure themed shower and they loved it so much they changed the nursery theme. They had a little girl, and it's so cute for her. I guess I'm not too worried because the decor would be authentic to the life we live regardless of the gender of the child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771481 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:06:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 1771481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think the furniture goes better/well with the camping/rustic theme. I think it would be adorable but maybe a little better suited for a boy than a girl? I don't know how gender neutral it is in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771447 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 10:59:14 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1771447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like your furniture pieces as a whole more than your wall paper. So I'd go in that direction.</p> <p>laybabylay.com has some fantastic inspiration boards and real rooms that will work perfectly for a camping/ mid-century room.</p> <p>The Skip crib by Babyletto would be perfect too. Here's a picture of it with the 3 in 1 features displayed.. </p> [attach=3033/14/n92ker.375x134.2014-07-21-11-57-01-1969741971.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-decisions#post-1771394 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 10:48:02 +0000 youboots 1771394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey y'all,</p> <p>I know I may be getting a bit ahead of myself here but M and I have already started talking nursery. Since I will be repurposing my vintage Heywood Wakefield furniture for the nursery (it was my grandparents) I need to start thinking fabric for the settee and give my reupholster guy some time to do the work, our last project took over 2 months. Also we have someone close to us moving and in need of all new furniture and will be giving them our guest room furniture and the room will be empty.</p> <p>So I need to get started on a general look and would love some help. I think I'm decided on the Stokke Sleepi crib in natural since it goes well with my furniture. We went and looked at it yesterday and are happy with it.</p> <p>We are team green, so there is no gender to consider. Right now we have really awesome teal/gold wallpaper up on one wall and long white gauzy curtains. When I designed the guest room I wanted it to look like a high end hotel room. The colors compliment the furniture we are using. The walls are cream. We would not have to change much, I would use grey as an accent color. I figure it's a great room for a baby, and if we have a boy we can redecorate at a year or two.</p> <p>So my husband suggested doing something a little more rustic/fitting to our 1910 home. We love traveling and drive a 1978 green VW pop top. I thought a loose camping/Pendleton look would be really awesome- I just had a chair of M's reupholstered with a Pendleton blanket and love it. This look could work for a boy or girl.</p> <p>If we opted to do the latter, I think it would be a bit expensive and take more time/planning, but I love the idea.</p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p>The first photo is the dresser which will serve as storage/changing table</p> <p>The second is the settee which currently lives in my office. My Mom gave me that Pendleton baby blanket for Christmas when I complimented my nephews at Thanksgiving</p> <p>The thirs is the existing guest room wallpaper/paint color</p> <p>The forth is the chair I had done for M, if we went for the camping look then we would likely up use the same fabric on the settee.</p> <p>The last photos is my VW just for fun;) </p> [attach=5281/14/n92jw5.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=5281/14/n92jw8.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=5281/14/n92jwa.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=5281/14/n92jwc.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=5281/14/n92jwf.600x480.image.jpg]
