and so I am. Posting pictures of my nursery, that is. I'm only putting up a couple right now because all I have added to the room is the bedding and some curtains, but there will be more to follow. The changing table will be arriving sometime next week, so I'll post pictures of that when I get it all together.

So what do you think? The bedding I bought, but the curtains and lamp I did myself. I'm still at a loss for what to do as wall decor. There is NOTHING right now. I'm pretty sure I want to continue with the cream and pastel green for whatever I put up, and possibly some dragon art since I'm putting my mood dragon figurines in the room, but I really don't know. Any ideas?

I like it! Love the purple.

I like the idea of dragon art. Maybe paint a castle on the wall, would be cool to make a 3-D castle and have a stuffed dragon sitting on it. But that's a lot of work. I'm not much help.

I love it!! it's so cute!! Smile

I'm with LF. a castle would be perfect! Even just some pretty flowers and crowns (kind of following the princess theme with the castle and dragons) I dunno that you want to go that girly girl or not though. I'm not uber girly as we all know its a miracle if i get out of jeans and do my hair, but my girls love the princess stuff Smile

And theres my two cents

Well, I'm thinking I'm going to lay off doing murals just now. I've decided that I'll let the little one develop her own sense of taste before we go full tilt with any particular theme. That means anything I do will be small scale, temporary stuff that I can take down without much consequence if at age two or so the baby decides she likes say, dolphins or unicorns. I was thinking that I would do kind of a play on words with "snapdragons" and "dragonflies" where there would be miniature dragons in a garden setting. So not too girly, but girly enough with the flowers. We'll see if I can fit a castle in one of my paintings; I have two or three canvases I can use to make wall art, and a couple of little round wooden plaques. Now to see if I can come up with something nice, since it's been so long since I've drawn a dragon. The question is can I do it well enough to make myself happy. I know the baby won't care, but I'm my worst critic.

I love it Lea..It's all very cute...purple and green..good combo!

Idea for ya..for the dragons and such.....go get some of those 'magick marker' posters, that are really bright, done with the black velvet and you fill in the other colors. You don't always have to use the colors they suggest and you can find some really cute pictures sometimes. Anyway..just an idea, cuz they aren't expensive..and you can change them easily enough, and they are big enough to take up a good bit of wall space. GOOD LUCK!

I got my changing table in today. Now I just need to get some baskets for the shelves, and we'll be good to go.
