Nursery Ideas

PrairieMom wrote: Ok ladies. Here is the bedding that I bought for Baby girl's new room.
I have already decided to paint the bottom of the walls in solid light pink to match the pink stripe, and the top of the walls I am going to do in wide pink and white stripes, probably like 12 inches wide. The problem is what to do in the middle. I can't find wall paper boarder that matches, so I am thinking about making a thin white stripe (about 6 inches wide) and stamping a floral boarder to match the one on the fabric. Is this making any sense? Anyone know where I can find large foam stamps with flowers that look similar to the fabric?

mckayleesmom replied: Maybe you can stensil some flowers.....not a whole lot, but like every 6 inches a flower.....that way its simple and pretty and doesn't look too overwhelming on the walls. BTW...Im basing this on the picture Im making in my head...lol

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: How about hanging a white chair-rail? That is what we did in Logan's room. I think it looks classy and you don't want to over do things. Not saying you would, but you know.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: I like the chair-rail idea and that way you would not have to change the flowers when you change bedding.

They also have chair rail that has flowers, vines, all kinds of stuff engraved (I know thats not the right word but I can't think of it) A friend of mine used that and they left it natural wood color but painted the indentions of the flowers and vines, does that make sense?

My3LilMonkeys replied: I like the chair rail idea too.

PrairieMom replied: I've thought about a chair rail, but the rest of the wood work in the room is natural / stained and DH isn't hip to the idea of painting it, so I am thinking that a white rail would look out of place. what do you think?

PrairieMom replied: OKAY! (stupid photobucket! )
Here is the fabric.

My3LilMonkeys replied: I love the fabric!

I change my opinion, a stripe with those flowers on it would look great!

MyLuvBugs replied: That's pretty!! I think I'd put up a white chair rail with pink/white stripes painted below it. Above either a light green or pink again, and then stencil flowers & vines around the top of the wall near the ceiling.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I'd still stick with the chair rail. If you can stain it to match the other wood, I think it will look fine.

We have natural colored wood trim and doors around our whole house, but DH just put up chair rails in both the kids' rooms. The nursery has a white one and Wil's is dark blue. I didn't think it would work either with the natural wood, but it does! Especially the white! I'll try and take a pic of the nursery and show it to you if you want...

PrairieMom replied:
That would be lovely, I really don't want to invest the $ and time into it and decide I don't like if afterwards ya know?
