we don't even have a nursery! we just put up a mini crib & a dresser w/ a changing pad on top in our bedroom. Our apartment is tiny, and it makes the most sense for now.

I did sew a crib skirt and matching changing pad cover- but thats about it.

@illumina: nope. You're not alone! I did some crafty things but we were renting and moving four weeks after he was born. Now that were moved in and he's four months we still haven't found time to hang stuff up or decorate! Baby doesn't care

You are not alone, and we are in a house we will probably live in forever. I just see doing more decorating when Lowly is old enough to have some input. Until then she doesn't need a fancy space, just one that is functional and comfortable. My oldest has a "decorated" room, although it's not over-the-top by any means. But she's six.

We bought cribs, a cheapo glider, a can of paint, and two prints for the wall. Finally bought curtains now that they are 8 mo. You are not doing anything wrong Our house isn't decorated to the hilt anyway, so it wouldn't be logical for our nursery to be.....

We won't be having a nursery at all until Future-LO is older, since she'll be in our bedroom the first 6 months and we anticipate both sets of our parents coming and staying in our second bedroom for a while after she is born. There's no sense in setting that room up as a nursery now, since we can't go in there in the middle of the night while we have visitors.

We're moving in May, to another rental, in hopes of affording a house a year from now. It really bums me out to not be able to create something permanent. We likely won't get to paint the walls or put up wallpaper that I'd like to, but I'm going to do what I can to make it still something cool. I don't think your baby (or mine) is going to care at all what the room looks like or the fancy sheets they sleep on. I say as long as they have somewhere to sleep and food to eat, you're doing a fabulous job as a mother! Nothing else really matters.

we bought a crib, but all the other furniture in our nursery was stuff we already had. we did buy organizational stuff for the closet and for books/toys, but that's about it. there is nothing up on the walls. i think it's fine, and i like it.

Nope...baby was gonna stay in our room, since we have a 2 bedroom apartment and DS is in the 2nd one. We were very minimal when registering and buying things.

My son has a room with a crib, dresser, and a glider, that's it. We moved into our home back in October and I did not get around to decorating his room and he came two weeks early. My husband also put a full size bed in his room in case we have guest over so on one side of the room it looks like a nursery and the other size is a guest room. lol I am sure my son doesn't misses the decorations.

DS is 2+ and he still doesn't have a room. We bought a crib he never sleeps in, put a changing pad on an old IKEA table, and filled an old plastic drawer tower and a few baskets with his clothes and accessories. I'm sitting here 6 months pregnant with #2 and the only thing I plan to buy is more diapers-- because I'm a cloth addict

Babies literally only need their parents' love, clothes milk and diapers. It's awesome to see beautiful nurseries and if I had a bigger home and more money, I might have done it for fun, but it's not necessary at all!

@illumina: no shame in that our guests and our marriage didn't suffer due to a lack of centerpieces or programs..people spent the whole night commenting on how amazing our vows were, which is where we put the bulk of our energy and time. Baby won't suffer either.

We rent, so we didn't do much. As much as I love looking at cute nurseries, they really are for the parents and not the baby and we couldn't justify the time, money, or energy in going all out.
