I also love how we're all dying to see your nursery :)</p> <p>I agree on both the keys and the lettering. It is going to be so pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1481498 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 11:12:53 +0000 cookiemomster 1481498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: I love those!<br /> @wonderstuck and @mrs. 64 - I've seen some adorable Harry potter mobile ideas- the easiest to recreate is the key idea. I like the idea that it's like butterflies! Hadn't thought of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1480179 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 10:48:41 +0000 bookwormmama 1480179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE @wonderstruck's idea with the keys!</p> <p>Your nursery sounds so fun! The other thing you could try would maybe be lots of books as decor to play into Hermione's character? Maybe some interesting looking plants that you might see in a herbology class? I also like the idea of putting up posters of female character's interests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1480139 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 10:03:01 +0000 wonderstruck 1480139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the idea about adding some gold and crystal type stuff. And how about incorporating the winged keys from the Sorcerer's Stone? Kind of like a play on butterflies in a more typical girl's nursery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1480129 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 09:50:57 +0000 mlm2934 1480129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>these gold letters on Pinterest feel like a girly touch </p> [attach=2888/14/n24h8y.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1480108 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 09:38:49 +0000 mrs. 64 1480108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I'm excited about your nursery! DH would never let me do something like this. Have you looked for pictures on google images or pinterest? I found this cute mobile and some other good inspiration: <a href="http://followpics.net/keys-with-wings-from-harry-potter-and-the-sorcerers-stone-mobile-harry-potter-themed-nursery/" rel="nofollow">http://followpics.net/keys-with-wings-from-harry-potter-and-the-sorcerers-stone-mobile-harry-potter-themed-nursery/</a></p> <p>Can't wait to see it when you're done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1479825 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 00:26:38 +0000 Torchwood 1479825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am SO jealous that your husband was on board with an HP nursery. DH won't go for anything nerdy, including Star Wars. Sad face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1479822 Sat, 08 Mar 2014 00:18:57 +0000 Squirrelynutkins 1479822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What a fun theme! Having a collection of vintage gold frames on the walls would be a fun girlie addition too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472826 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:23:39 +0000 cookiemomster 1472826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: oh man, that ceiling is to die for. I have a feeling my version would be a major fail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472773 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:14:28 +0000 LovelyPlum 1472773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Metallic stars would help! I'm thinking like this-like what is on the ceiling in this nursery :)</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-lovejoys-nursery" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-lovejoys-nursery</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472734 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:09:51 +0000 cookiemomster 1472734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: one of the main reasons I have loved the books for so long is the amount of amazing female role models, so<br /> I'm not sure why I hadnt thought to include them. </p> <p>And thanks! I will definitely post pictures once we get ourselves in gear </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472717 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:07:49 +0000 rattles 1472717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lauraeabel: I think your whole nursery is a fantastic idea! I hope we get to see pictures when you're done :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472711 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:07:08 +0000 rattles 1472711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The other thing you could do is have some of the theme-y touches be rooted in the girls' characters. Maybe create a Holyhead Harpies poster or pennant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472710 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:06:59 +0000 cookiemomster 1472710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: That is a fantastic idea, seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472681 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:03:26 +0000 rattles 1472681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it sounds like a fabulous, neutral nursery/theme! I wonder if you could do a big, metallic mirror a la the mirror of Erised? I agree with others that gold touches will help, but I think it's an inherently neutral theme. I like that about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472679 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:02:55 +0000 cookiemomster 1472679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want to leave the carpet at least for now- it's in great shape, and it will make entering the room without waking her much easier, since you can't hear footsteps. </p> <p>I was thinking of doing either light gray or pale yellow walls to offset the dark carpet, since it's a small room., and like @swirlygurl said, dark colors come of as kind of masculine. </p> <p>Good idea on the touches of gold @mae, that might help a lot. I think it's definitely gender neutral in theory, but all the inspiration pictures I've found are boys rooms so I started second guessing myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472659 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 11:00:06 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1472659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Harry Potter nursery. Swoon.<br /> I agree with light gray walls. Adding metallics will make it girlier, too.<br /> And...once the closet's filled with girl clothes, gender neutral won't be an issue ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472651 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:58:10 +0000 Mae 1472651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do you plan to leave the dark carpeting? If so I'd go with a light/neutral wall light a pale grey. Harry Potter seems pretty gender-neutral to me, but if you wanted to make it more feminine maybe add more touches of gold/crystals to the room? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472646 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:57:30 +0000 swurlygurl 1472646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Harry Potter nursery!!! AMAZING! </p> <p>Snowy owls might girly it up? Keep the walls a light gray as opposed to darker shades will keep it fresher and lighter (not actually girly, but maybe darker colors would seem more masculine? idk) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-help#post-1472632 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 10:55:21 +0000 cookiemomster 1472632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so I'm hoping maybe some of you are more design capable than me, and can give tips on this. </p> <p>When my husband and I bought our house, there was only one room without hardwoods- the smallest bedroom has thick, dark maroon carpeting, and we instantly knew it would be a Harry potter nursery one day. </p> <p>Well now we are expecting a baby girl, and while we still have our hearts set on that as a theme, I'm having trouble finding ways to make the room more girly. It's not like I would ever have wanted an explosion of pink for a girls room, but I would like it to be a little bit feminine. </p> <p>Any advice? </p>
