Does your baby's Nursery have a Character Theme (or Object Theme) or is it just a Color Theme?
My son is 17 months and his Nursery is Winnie the Pooh ..
When he gets older and gets into his Toddler bed, we are going to change the theme.
I am thinking of just using a ‘Color Theme’ instead of a Character Theme and then changing it again to a theme of HIS choice when he’s older ..
I am curious if the rooms that are just ‘Color Themes’ turn out cute? or if they’re too plain?
If we don’t do a color theme, we’ll probably do a ‘Sport Theme’ or something ..
What’s your baby’s Nursery Theme?
We’ll be switching his room when he gets the Toddler Bed to the bigger room down the hall.
We currently have his Nursery in the smaller room that is next to ours, but when he gets the ‘big boy bed’ he’ll be getting the ‘big boy room’ to go with it =]
We already had a Painter come out and paint the new room a bright blue color .. so we’ll either do a color theme that coordinates with that, or we’ll do some ‘boy theme’ of sports toys or something to go with that.
I’m just curious how the rooms that are just ‘color themes’ turn out?

His theme is froggy’s… everything’s froggys.
He has his "own" bathroom, that is also frogs.

the wall in the last picture is pink, because we had his crib in my room for a while, but the walls in his room match the colors of his sheets.
i did a animal theme along with a color theme so when she is old enough for a big girl room she’ll have the same colors she is use to.
My son’s room is a "painted the walls blue, got some nice wood furniture and hung up some nice paintings" theme
Since my daughter was born her theme has been Fairies.
I also will be switching her theme to something a little more "toddler – child" rather then "newborn – baby" when she moves up into her toddler bed.
We already have her bed and its purple, light green and yellow so we were thinking about just staying with those assorted colors and maybe putting a few different coloured butterflies on the wall.
my 11 week daughter and 5 yr old son share a room so we have dark blue paint on the bottom half and off white on the top half of the room, on my son’s side of the room the two colors are separated with a spider-man boarder and on my daughters side it’s separated by a blue background boarder with butterflies and dragonflies. On his side he has spider-man stickers and on hers she has birds and butterflies
were doing our babys room in the classic pooh collection, its like the old school pooh in really muted colors, its really pretty. its nuetural though, so we painted the walls baby blue and are buying everything that is optional in blue in the collection, in blue.
I found some WallPops with little sheep on them that are adorable. My son’s room is done in that with matching green and blue paint. It’s so cute and can grow with him since the WallPops are re-stickable.
my son is only 3 months but we started a combination of color theme and a cars theme(not the movie "cars"). I figured its something that looks nice and when he get bigger he might be into them so there wouldn’t be much need to change the whole room. I think it came out nice.
My nursery is me, my body, by breasts, my face, and my arms. What baby needs more than that?
My toddler has his own room. He couldn’t care less what colour the walls are. Choose a peaceful colour if you want your child to sleep there. Honestly though toddlers would be happiest if you just put up brown paper and let them colour it and put stickers on it. My son likes to put of pictures and stickers but likes to take them down pretty quickly too.
Honestly I think that using a theme in a child’s room is kind of like saying that boys can’t play with dolls, or play kitchens. Your son is more than just "a sports player", or a "nature lover", or whatever. If you do a sports room are you going to get upset when your son wants to add pictures of Dora? Or space ships? Or dinosaurs? What about when he wants the Train bedding? Or someone buys him a cute teddy bear comforter? Or he wants an easel or a dollhouse?
Lifes too short, and people too complex to be obsessed over themes.
My daughter room is bright green, with pink circles all around! Her bedding is precious moments..so thats kinda my theme i guess!
My baby girls room was supposed to be tinkerbell but it kind of only ended up being pink and green themed and added a few reusable tinkerbell stickers. So it the theme wont really ever need to be changed.
Hannah’s room is color themed. I found bedding that I just loved from Pottery Barn kids that was yellow, green, pink and white with large flowers on it. http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/f1011/index.cfm?pkey=xsrd0m1|12|||1|||||||emily%20bedding&cm_src=SCH
We painted her walls green, I found some painting of animals and other things with the same colors. I have a rug that matches the bumper and quilt. We have a green gingham bedskirt on the crib. Her sheets are all in pinks, yellows and greens.
We have her name made out of wooden letters that hang over her crib. They are pink, yellow and green.
I think that her room is adorable! When she goes into a toddler bed, we will keep her room the same since the quilt from her crib will fit into a toddler bed.
Care Bears – and then we gave up on the nursery theming. We’re big into sports – so that is kind of what he has, simply because he LOVES it as well.
New baby girl coming – she gets leftover Care Bears and then goes on to be a princess!
Our little one has a sports theme room. We used the Lambs and Ivy collection from Target. Very cute and it will grow with him several years. The walls are plain white and his carpet is a neutral tan.
My Babies room is more of a color theme. We did pink and chocolate brown. Then I added in monkeys everywhere. turned out very cute, and will go from newborn to infant to toddler and on.
I absolutely love the brown with the blue. Right now, I am sewing my sons bedding, for when he goes from bassinet into the big crib, its brown with blue spots. We choose these colors not only because they are cute, they wont be too baby-ish when he gets older. My friend also choose the brown and blue colors but with brown dogs/footballs and a blue back ground and thats where my bedding colors came from!
My 4yo daughters room is butterflies and dragonflies, I have been collecting stuff since she was a baby to co-ordinate a room. But she also loves Dora explorer and care bears. We have compromised and I have put butterflies all over her bedroom door with her name, a huge butterfly on her main light in her room, her lamp has dragonflies on it and her curtains are dora explorer (I will make her some bigger girl curtains when she gets older and sick of Dora) and her main doona cover is dora. But we are painting her room pink.
My sons room is cars and dinosaurs and it is going to have blue walls. My baby doesn’t care and sleeps in sleeping bags anyway but my older son has Nemo doona cover, kung fu panda and a motor bike one. I just try to co-ordinate the colours……..makes it easier to change when kids grow.
Gracee had winnie the pooh also as a theme. When she was 10 months old, we moved to a new house and switched the theme of her room to pink and yellow with flowers to accent. Her walls are pink, yellow and white strips but it looks super cute. Her sheets are white with flowers and her lamp and rug and stuff have flowers. I would say go with a color theme and then add sport stuff in places as you want. Good luck! I am sure he will love the new room!

I used Country Noah, I chose neutral colors instead of pastels.
Congrats!
My son is now 19 months old. When he was a baby, I had his room done up in the sports theme. But I did an old fashioned sports theme as opposed to the cutesie baby boy sports. If that makes sense. I had found some really cool all wood plaques that had antique looking baseball pictures and each said something different (Home Run, All Star, etc)
Now.. he has a Wiggles room. He is so in love with the Wiggles that he has the toddlers bed, bedding, curtains, night stand, toy box, directors chair, wall stickers, toys, wall plaques, etc etc and so on.
Sometimes, he’ll just sit in his room laughing, smiling, and pointing at everything. lol So he really loves it. =D
