The Baby's Room

Ok, so these are my ideas for the baby's room. I am definintely using pink. No question about it. But, I'd also like to use the orange chair and curtains from Brett's room so I need to factor in orange to the design as well. There was this adorable pink/monkey/floral crib set from Pottery Barn Kids but I waited too long and now it's sold out. So, change of plans. Which is actually fine because who has that type of money right? And, I'm not sure if the bedding really matters a ton. Something plain and simple should work fine.

So yesterday I got a Pottery Barn Teen catalog in the mail. Usually I just recycle it but I decided to look through it as I was cooking dinner. I found the prettiest rug (see above). It's cheaper than the other one I was planning on getting and has pink, orange, brown and blue in it! I love it. Plus it's floral - something I need for my little girl! And I think I can paint some flowers on the wall to coordinate with it - not a big mural like in Brett's room, just some flowers in clusters on the wall. I wish you could see inside my head - it's a really cute idea.

So then today I was searching the web for ideas on how to paint the walls and found this picture with stripes that I recolored using the colors I want to use. I just can't decide on which combination I like the best. What do you think?

I haven't really been stressing out about her room and I'm not going to start now. I'm just going to try to work on it and hopefully get it done before she's two! I did decide though that I want to have something that I won't have to redo (like we are doing with Brett's room) when she gets a big girl bed. I think these colors will last for a while, don't you?
