I'm writing a story about two teens (they're eighteen and married) and they have a baby at the end of their first year of college. What's needed for a nursery? And maybe give me some cute theme ideas? By the way, the baby is a girl.


Answer
You would usually have a crib , a changing table , some toys , soft toys , clothes in a wardrobe , crib mobiles , baby books , pictures on the wall .
Here are some theme ideas ( off a website )


â¼ Lady Bug Nursery

A popular baby girl nursery theme today is a lady bug nursery. You might want to begin by purchasing a crib set to use as a pattern to paint and decorate the room.

You can find stencils in lady bug designs, add posters, and even stick on lady bugs to complete the look. Even if you aren't an artist, you can project the image of a lady bug on the wall and paint it. Another great idea is to hire someone to do a mural of lady bugs playing in a garden or buzzing around some flowers .

â¼ Bugs and Bees

Your little darling will love being surrounded by whimsical bugs and bees. With so many bugs to choose from, you should have no problem choosing this theme. Bees, butterflies, caterpillars, and worms are popular choices, and they are easy to recreate on paintings and other wall art as well .


â¼ Celestial Themes

Help your little one fly off to dreamland with a celestial baby girl nursery theme. These themes can include planets, moons, stars, and even constellations. You can copy the pattern onto your ceiling, using pastels, whites, and blues. You should be able to find lamps, picture frames, and wall decorations in this theme as well.

Toile Designs
If you are looking for an elegant way to decorate your baby's nursery, you might want to consider a toile design for her room. Toile patterns may focus on red, white, pink, yellow, green, and even pastel blue colors.


â¼ Patchwork and Plaid

Patchwork or plaid designs make great baby girl nursery themes. It's easy to build off of either one of these patterns, choosing the main color and accent colors from the colors of the patchwork or plaid on a crib set, blanket, or comforter. You should be able to color match the crib set at local paint and hardware stores, such as Home Depot, Lowe's and Sherwin-Williams.

â¼ Frog Baby Girl Nursery Themes

Little girls are just as enamored of frogs as little boys, so don't overlook this great baby girl nursery theme! Choose from designs that only feature frogs to designs with lots of other friendly creatures, such as turtles, lizards, dragonflies, and even snakes.

â¼ Character Themes

Of course, character nursery themes are eternal favorites for parents and children. You can usually find lots of great accessories, and there are so many to choose from, including the following:

Hello Kitty
Precious Moments
Pooh's Portraits

Decorating a nursery for your new baby can be a fun and exciting experience. It will be the first place for your baby to dream, to experience, and to grow. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Location. Calm surroundings are critical to a newborn's development. Avoid room's that are close to a busy street, where there could be more noise. Will the baby's room be on the same floor as your bedroom ? This makes it more convenient to monitor your baby. However, you can always opt for an audio or video monitor.

Time to decorate! Choosing a particular theme and design for your baby room depends on how much you want to spend, how much space you have, and whether it's a boy or a girl. To be safe, you can always go for gender-neutral colors such as greens, purples, and reds.

Choosing a theme. Now it's time to let your imagination run wild. To get some ideas, visit a few baby stores and check out different styles. They may even have example rooms set up that you can check out. Take a look at the following nursery themes to get a few ideas rolling.

Animals. This motif could include kittens, puppies, farm scenes, or teddy bears. This is a common theme that can easily be found in stores. You could purchase everything from the sheet and comforter set to coordinating wall hangings and wall paper.

Cartoon / TV Characters. The options are numerous here. Winnie the Pooh, Spiderman, Aladdin, Curious George, Bugs Bunny, Snoopy, and Peter Pan are just a few examples.

Noah's Ark. This a popular theme with plenty of designs to choose from. You can accessorize with animal pictures, a nursery lamp, bedding, and even a rocking chair.

Dolphins or other underwater scenes. This theme will add a cool, refreshing feeling to your new baby room. The cool colors will also be comforting for you baby. For decorating, you could use a Finding Nemo theme, sea-related wall hangings, sea shells, a border with waves, or even sea horses.

Crayons. Remember how much fun crayons use to be. Introduce your child to a new and creative world with this theme. You could use accents in the shape of hand prints or stencil of your choice. Place these on the walls, window frames, closet door, or even the lamp shade. Looking for the perfect paint. Crayola has come out with paints with their colors made specifically for the baby's room.

Whichever design you choose, use inexpensive stain-

Hi! I'm a 13 year old girl... and if this helps... im not a girly girl or a tom-boy. Right now my walls are yellow (thats the way they were when my family moved into the house). I want to change them but i dont no what color to choose. My favorite color is blue... but i want my room to feel warm. So no really cold colors, and i always loove to feel cozy! I always wear t-shirts and fuzzy socks!! hehe.

Thank you!



Answer
Blue and brown are beautiful together, and you get the color you love and the warmth you desire. It is a popular color combo right now and there are plenty of bedding sets available with those colors. I would suggest finding the bedding first, then take a piece of the blue fabric to the paint store and have it color matched. Or if you find a brown and ivory bed set, get Shiloh Blue paint from Walmart, I have it on my walls and it's soothing, and more adult than a baby blue. It looks gray in the store on the paint card, in fact it's on a gray paint card, but it is a beautiful blue on the wall. I have it in my living room with brown microfiber sofa and chair, it looks great together, always get compliments on it. I've seen really soft fabrics like microfibers in bedding just about everywhere, they would feel luscious and cozy and look great with the blue walls. Add some ivory for balance in your accessories. I think you will love it once you see it all together.
