Or some shelving or cubes. It will allow you to put stuff there :) looks really great though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-272984 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 06:22:52 +0000 Mrs D 272984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love what you have so far! This is one lucky baby!</p> <p>I agree with a few posters above for a mini gallery above the changing table...there are so many cute prints and quotes on Etsy I'd load it up with a combo of pictures (some of you &amp; DH plus family) and some meaningful quotes or something - maybe a shabby chic mirror mixed in. I also love the shelves and books idea!</p> <p>What about a beautiful girly chandelier in the room (that is if you dont have a fan because if you have a fan I'd leave it. My nephew was obsessed with fans as a newborn and I'd leave on in there just to entertain your LO). My girlfriend put a beautiful faux crystal ceiling mount light in her daughters room and it is just so perfectly precious in her pink nursery!</p> <p>Love the theme and colors - great job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-272977 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 05:27:05 +0000 PrincessBaby 272977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Thank you!!!! Okay can I confess a completely irrational fear about shelves over the rocker? That they would fall one the baby while we were rocking in the chair! I had initially thought about putting shelves above the changing table, but this fear of them falling on her made me nix it...In FL, bc of termites, all of the studs in the walls are metal, which makes drilling into the studs a beeotch. We had a bad experience downstairs the first time we hung something into the studs that needed to bear weight...It was these 4ft shelves:<br /> <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/crown-molding-shelf/?pkey=cledge-shelf" rel="nofollow">http://www.potterybarn.com/products/crown-molding-shelf/?pkey=cledge-shelf</a><br /> To make a long story short, they fell so many times during installation that they were damaged, bc it was so hard to get it drilled into the stupid metal studs. I exchanged them for new ones, blamed it on bad attachments! And the second set went smoother but I'm still traumatized! They have also never fallen, but K always cautions me not to put anything too heavy on them and to be really careful when dusting them (this hardly ever happens so is not really a problem-ha!).... I know you can identify with irrational fears, lol, so that's why I am confessing my Shelf Fear! Someone suggested a clock, and I was thinking of maybe looking for a light pink big round clock? Idk:)</p> <p>@Rescuemom10: Thank you so much!!!</p> <p>@looch: That's true!! She is already out of control with those headband flowers! Good idea!!!</p> <p>@zippylef: Super cute!!! I was torn between accenting with chocolate...I love the pop of choc &amp; light pink...But DH said with all of her really dark furniture we needed to keep it light... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-272962 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 04:03:15 +0000 loveisstrange 272962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute! C's nursery is the same color scheme. It's all soft pink, white and chocolate brown with cherry blossoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-272960 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 03:12:39 +0000 looch 272960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about some hair accessory storage, right above the changing station? You'll need somewhere to store all the clips and bows! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-272508 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 15:05:09 +0000 Rescuemom10 272508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eeek! Its adorable. I LOOOOOOVE the crib. JEALOUS! Looks fantastic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-272436 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 14:24:45 +0000 Arden 272436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for a gallery wall above the changing table, it would be adorable. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-272078 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:54:35 +0000 Running Elley 272078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It looks AMAZING! I think that once you get the curtains up it will seem a lot more "finished" to you :) I agree about the possible addition of some bookshelves, maybe just some free hanging flat ones? Like these but dark.... </p> [attach=699/12/m9f86z.512x281.DSC_0141.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-272035 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 10:23:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 272035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree some shelfs or a bookshelf would be great to add. We don't have a lot of storage in our house so all of her stuff is stored in her room. It was also really hand to have PJs and socks close to the changing table. We have bins that stores things like diaper creams, hats, extra wipes, etc. On a bookshelf we have her books, toys, extra blankets, stuff like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271951 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:34:15 +0000 PrincessBaby 271951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Thank you! That was exactly what I told DH - I hate overdone pink pepto bismol barf nurseries! So thank you for noticing that we tried to avoid gagging on pink everywhere! Just to note, the PBK blanket is a stroller blanket, so it's smaller than a regular blanket...I think the dimensions are on the item listing. But it is literally the nicest blanket I've ever touched:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271931 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:23:53 +0000 lawbee11 271931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: I have no suggestions, but just wanted to say it looks awesome! I am not a fan of nurseries that look like a bottle of pepto bismol exploded on them, so I think your pink accents are perfect and very tasteful! I am also considering getting one of those PBK blankets for myself...looks so comfy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271918 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:18:55 +0000 PrincessBaby 271918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Thank you! I wanted a cute print but DH nixed everything:( He doesn't get the trend right now of fun patterns like chevron, etc. He's like "Omg that rug is hideous!" So I had to go with solid pink bc he is such a turd:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271915 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:17:41 +0000 PrincessBaby 271915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Thanks! I ordered curtains from RH baby in the petal color above - no valance though! And we're going to put a blackout shade under them....Hopefully that wards off the bright light!!! A clock is a good idea for that little rocker area!</p> <p>@Mrsbells: @cheert16: Thanks so much, you guys!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271914 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:17:11 +0000 hilsy85 271914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw! Just want to say it looks great! I love the rug :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271908 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:08:49 +0000 cheert16 271908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks great Jho!! Your little girl is lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271906 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:08:39 +0000 Mrsbells 271906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love the decal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271900 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:04:45 +0000 looch 271900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute, lucky little girl! I'd do a small table by the chair, with a clock and some kind of lighting. I'd also think about room darkening curtains or blinds, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271885 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 08:31:41 +0000 PrincessBaby 271885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I like that idea a lot!</p> <p>@ScarletJwl: Thank you! I bought the decals off of Etsy, from a seller called "ModernWalls." There are a ton on there though, if you just search for "nursery decal."</p> <p>@autumnlove: @HeatherlovesKenny: Thank you!!!!! It still has a way to go but I got excited with what we got done yesterday...I can't wait to have my little snugglebug in there!</p> <p>@lydg: PBK is ridiculous, right??? I did splurge and get one of those hooded towels and you are right - amazing! I bought a multipack from BBB for like $15, and they don't hold a candle to the PBK one. But she can only have one PBK one, because after monogramming, it's a $40 hooded towel... AAAAGH! We got the pink bunny one, but I LOVE the owl one too!!!</p> <p>@coacheswife123: Thank you so much!!! The crib is the PBK Larkin sleigh crib, and we got it off of Craigslist. I was so stoked! My mom was worried about us going to a stranger's house to get it, and I was basically like, "Mom, you don't understand....This crib is WORTH risking our lives for..." Hahaha:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271684 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 20:14:54 +0000 pl0508 271684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: just wanted to pop in and say I love your crib! it is beautiful! the nursery is looking great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271657 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 19:44:38 +0000 matador84 271657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25 precious!!! I am such a sucker for pbk...I got the low-profile fixed gate Kendall crib and love it!! And I Loveeee the stroller blanket. The pbk hooded towels are super soft too!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271647 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 19:26:47 +0000 HLK208 271647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So pretty! I think the pp's already have suggested some good ideas (lamps, baskets, shelves) then it'll be perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271646 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 19:26:41 +0000 autumnlove 271646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in love with your nursery! My LO is jealous! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271645 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 19:23:26 +0000 ScarletJwl 271645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So cute and pretty! I don't really have much to add... I am still working on mine and am way behind where you are :) I especially love the crib with the tree decal and the pretty pink pillow! I am also thinking of doing a decal near the crib but am not sure about the price and how to put it up... Where did you get yours? Was it difficult to put it on the wall? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271571 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:33:26 +0000 mrskc 271571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: I see. A floor lamp would be nice. I also like Lags suggestions for a gallery wall above the changing table and Coco Bee's suggestion for shelves behind the glider. </p> <p>1. this is how a gallery wall could look above the changing table. source: <a href="http://projectnursery.com/projects/baby-hs-pint-sized-nursery/" rel="nofollow">http://projectnursery.com/projects/baby-hs-pint-sized-nursery/</a></p> <p>2. I also like how they put the baskets above the changing table to hold diapers. source: <a href="http://www.ontobaby.com/2012/06/olives-nursery/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ontobaby.com/2012/06/olives-nursery/</a> </p> [attach=684/12/m9dvzr.368x600.182151_10151400489105166_50943306_n.jpg] [attach=684/12/m9dvzs.205x600.olives-nursery-6.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271563 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:24:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 271563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love love love!! so cute... it is coming along awesome.</p> <p>I think two floating shelves behind the glider (kitty corner from name decal) would be awesome. You could put books, baby cam (if you're getting one), frame - etc.. they would look totally cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271516 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:38:50 +0000 LAGS 271516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sweet! Lucky little girl :)</p> <p>What about adding more frames or wall hangings above the change table to make a small gallery wall? I think that would help fill that space nicely.</p> <p>Or a gallery wall by your glider, then a couple simple shelves to offset the print above the change table that can double for some easy access for a few choice diapering supplies? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271483 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:15:57 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 271483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: riiight I understand what you mean; I didn't realize there was a separating wall between storing area and changing pad...well:) it shouldn't be a big deal and if ever it was you could open the closet door if it got bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271476 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 16:11:07 +0000 PrincessBaby 271476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I added a photo of the total layout so you guys can see that it can't really take much more furniture...I really pushed it by getting that PBK wall cubby off CL the other day! I think I may add a floor lamp because she has so many pieces of furniture in a small space that I don't want to crowd it...Good suggestion on a floor basket for toys right there too! I need to hide our stupid wireless routers!!</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: Yes, where I threw that toy is a place for diapers...We just don't have that functional stuff set up yet....We are getting a diaper genie, but I don't know how big it is...So I def need to work on where that's going to go!</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: Thanks! Unfortunately, I can't change the direction of the changing station stuff...The "lid" thingy that sits on top of the dresser that holds the changing pad and the little area for diapers and wipes is hinged onto the dresser....So I'm just going to have to be careful with that doorknob:(</p> <p>This is a better photo of the changing table...Except it's reversed in the photo. Mine is diaper/toiletries to the left side, changing pad to the right if you're facing it...</p> <p>[attach=1247/12/m9ds6j.485x428.img34b.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271458 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 15:58:32 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 271458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it:) Very relaxing and chic...not over done and cluttered! I like that you won't have the valances over the windows...The long drapes look very put-together and almost adult like which is great....Great job, mama!</p> <p>my ONLY 2 suggestions and you can totally ignore them if you think they're lame....but:<br /> -See where you have the changing mat? I'm thinking move that stuff on the left to the right and put the mat to the left so that you'll have more room to stand right up against the changing pad instead of hitting against the doorknob. You know what I mean? I only say that because I had a similiar set-up and just changed it and I feel so much better.<br /> 2- You said this already....that you would change out the name decal...first of all, its really not too bad...I don't think I would have noticed if you didn't point it out. But, maybe use ivory for the name instead of a darker pink because on top of that taupe it may look purple-ish pink?<br /> *Just ideas....seriously everything looks wonderful:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursery-suggestions-progress-pics-inside#post-271455 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 15:57:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 271455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One thought: where you have your changing table located....where are you planning on having the wipes and diapers? Is there room for the wipes on top of the table (where it looks like there is a toy sitting)? Or do you plan on having the wipes/diapers on something next to the changing table (I see there is a door right there, so maybe on the other side?...)</p> <p>If your plan is to keep the wipes in the drawers at all times, IMO that will be a major PITA to have the drawer open to reach in and get wipes while you are trying to change the baby. To me it would also be a PITA to have to put the box on wipes back in a drawer after every use, and then get them back out every time. It's much easier to have them out in the open, readily available. </p> <p>On a similar note - is there room next to the changing table for a diaper genie / receptacle for diapers? You'll want that close as well. </p>
