Baby's room possibilites.





Here's the bedding I have ordered.



Here's the crib. None of the furniture will be matchy matchy. We're using a dresser I've had since I was little for storage and as a changing table. We'll have a small bookcase given to us by my grandparents and then possibly the glider from my aunt. If not that one, we'll buy one thats cherry, so it'll kinda match the crib. Part of me wants the furniture to match but I've decided that 1)Amelia doesn't care and won't for a while, 2) theres no way we could paint all of it to match the cherry crib (the crib is new and will not be painted). I had originally thought we'd paint the dresser a chocolate brown but after holding up a piece of the crib next to the dresser, really nothing will match. So we'll have the mismatched furniture nursery. I've looked at too many pictures of what I call "put together nuseries," so in my head thats what I want. But I'm accepting it and getting over it...lol.
My main issue is deciding on wall color. Currently its a yellowy gold color, so it definitely needs to be painted. I had first thought a neutral tanish color because I didn't want bubble gum pink walls. BUT I went and looked at paint samples and saw some really cute light pinks that could work. I call them neutral pinks...I think I created that term. I just mean that they're so light, there pink but not "Oh my gosh, thats a pink room." Then I had the suggestion of a light green too...which I like as well. SO......what do you guys think I should do?? The room is kinda small too, if that matters. The trim, closet doors, and baseboards are all a cream color.
I saw one room where they used three different shades of yellow and painted the darkest on bottom, then lighter and then lightest on top for the room. I thought that could look cute in pink, maybe. Someone suggested maybe doing pink, then doing horizontal strips with a clear coat over what you've already done. I'm majorly indecisive, can't you tell??
Since the bedding has cherry like blossoms on it, I had seen on etsy the wall decals. Thought maybe a tree one would be cute, depending on how expensive they are of course.



Those are my painted drawer pulls. I had intentions of using them on the dresser just to update the hardware, since they don't make any in the size we need. But I may use them for something else and just leave the hardward thats there. The darker pink isnt as neon in real life, its just my camera phone.

Suggestions, ideas, anything?
