Hi there, I think it looks great. May be you could add a mobile to engage your little one. If you are allowed to put something on the wall, some temporary wall print would help too. May be these links will give you some idea with the wall papers or even pictures? neutral themed nursery gender neutral nursery If you hadn't bought a rug, I would recommend couple of our neutral theme felt ball rugs.

Unfortunately it looks as if the rocker above is in front of the opening section of the sliding door. The other glass door section probably doesn't open anyway, so treat it as a wall to some extent, this will allow more useable space - just leave a bit of a gap for window furnishings to operate. Having the crib on the original layout allows you to peek more easily when baby is asleep - although with the cameras now, this isn't a priority. My grandaughter waves at the camera when she has done something she knows she shouldn't. As far as layout is concerned, don't stick to a too regimented idea, but if placing overhead shelving, the southern wall would be best, as this is not a thoroughfare. Pottery Barn make some delightful storage items. Just remember to anchor them to the wall, as no matter how difficult it is for children to access, they will - make it safe for them. You could incorporate the change table in a long low storage section for the relevant time, then turn it into a desk - see Ikea Stuva.

congratulations...exciting times..as big reader says, get rid of everything that you won't use immediately...assuming limited storage in a rental perhaps the car seat and whatever the framework is can be stored under the cot...place a big sheet under the mattress to hang down and hide the storage...i would move the chair into the corner next to the window and add a small table (a plastic upside down toy box would suit) so you have somewhere to place a drink while you sit with your feet up...the furniture looks lovely so only needs a dust and wipe over and make sure handles are securely attached and clean and add fresh liners inside the drawers, absolutely attach the bookshelf to the wall (only needs small L shaped brackets from hardware store) choose some new bedding in your favourite colours (baby doesn't care as long as you're happy) and add some block out curtains and a lap rug

Hi Siriuskey! Thank you for your recommendation. I actually dont know what I am having (eek!) so looking for something neutral, with pops of colour in the decor :) I hadn't tried the half strength yet - I think that might be a good next step.
