Okay so I know it’s completely ridiculous that I’m already thinking of ideas for the baby’s room… but ridiculous or not, I’m still thinking 
Here’s a few ideas flitting through my head these days!
Disclaimer… I’ve never been one to like the “baby-looking” stuff. Just not my thing… I know some of you probably love all that pastel bears and ducky stuff… it’s just not me! Sorry… So fair warning… below are not “baby” ideas… but granted the “baby” won’t be a baby for very long and these ideas could easily move to my master or guest bedroom if our child decided he or she wanted a batman room
Picture this…
Colors: deep red, black, and white
Painting underneath the chair-rail a shade of red similar to this…And yes I know that’s going to be a lot of fun to paint over someday Anyway…
Leave upper walls, doors, and moulding white.
For fabrics… check out these swatches I threw together that I LOVE…
I’ve always loved toile and damask… and think it could make for a very pretty quilt I already clued mom into the fabrics that I love and put a bug in her ear about putting them together for me since she’s become quite the quilter :) hehe (Mom I’m thinking while I’m out and about, if I find a fabric I love I’ll pick up a couple of yards of it)
Anyways, figured it shouldn’t be too hard to find complementary sheets and bumper pad to match…
We already have a crib and dresser compliments of Daniel’s parents. Would LOVE one of those shelving units at Target that you place the large baskets in. Figured that would be a great find to keep toys, miscellaneous clothing, whatever, etc.
Also we have a glider and ottoman to be re-covered. Seriously considering covering it in a heavy-weight black material (yes I know it will constantly be covered in fuzz but that’s okay). Would love to have damask and striped pillows for the ottoman.
Wall art – Have lots of ideas for things to put on the wall… but will ultimately depend on the deals I find while out and about
Really wanted to go with something that could easily be adapted for a boy or a girl since we might not know until pretty late in the process. Also would love to be able to incorporate some asian decor into the room… these are some ideas I’m throwing around to customize it depending on the sex…
Boy – how cool would it be to incorporate the asian dragon into the mix somehow? All those fun colors up again dark red walls, blacks and whites… pretty sure I don’t want a life-sized dragon in the room, but wondering if I can find something fun somewhere… if anybody’s making a trip to Chinatown let me know! haha
Girl – those pretty little china dolls… yeah I know our child will be Korean but I didn’t think anyone would know what I was talking about if I said Korean dolls
So that’s what I’m thinking… probably going to work on getting the room cleaned out soon and paint on the walls. We’ll be replacing the carpet soon and would like to paint first since we tend to be sloppy sometimes
