I like the sound of a mini-reunion. Especially if it involves desert!. Hello everyone : ) nwduck, you are just beginning your season, while here today is the grand final of Aussie Rules Football. Though I'm not a fan, it seems the whole country has come to a grinding halt today. haha The big excitement of today's game, is that an 'underdog' team is playing. They haven't got into the finals in about eighteen years or something. :)

I can see a power point between the beds so why not something to bridge the gap between the boys. As the boys have a plays ace keep it practical but fun, ikea has powder coated lockers for storage coats balls etc, but also a 2door low line red cabinet, that looks like old school lockers, you could buy an extension arm lamp in cool colours one each for the boys which can reach over there bed for night reading. A place to put a glass of water etc. Agree with above a framed art print made by each boy to show off their unique personality

Yellow is a beautiful colour for gender neutral rooms, it can be either pale and sunny or gorgeous rich mustards like this above. The turquoise blues can be teamed with it for a retro feel and navy looks great too, on the other hand, lighter tones can be put with it against white as an overall colour, it works for either boy or girl. Typography or letter art looks smart and sweet in a nursery, bright primary colored alphabets in frames, eye test charts, or words that articulate your thoughts for your babies space look sweet too. You can start to tie in with your babies initials, monograms sticker on their linens, a custom cushion with colored embroidery on a casual armchair in the corner look great, mdf letters are cheap you can paint them with a sample pot or two for temporary colour. Same with a canvas, cover it with a staple gun or hot glue with a nice fabric you like from a fabric store, pick a pattern, print or theme, maybe pick a colour out from it and use on accessories, for example a fabric of sketched birds with leaves twigs and owls, in blues greens and mustards, you could get some mustard, green and caramel frames, pillows, blankets or lamps, cover the shade in the same feature fabric, suddenly you have great neutral walls, white furniture as your build off colour, temporary pattern in a canvas print for their wall, glue on white painted letters either initials or simply ABC onto the centre of the canvas to become a large custom print, tie in with a cushion in the. Same fabric, suddenly your print is scattered around the room, tied in with coordinating colours in linens etc, and some cute little quirky things, and it's already sweet and trendy for your little tot. Books and more books, are great they look good, and encourage a love for reading, you Both will benefit fro it early on, I have seen a bookstand that is a cloud shape, holding a dozen books or so, sits on the floor next to a chair, paint in a great blue, depending on your palette, this works for boy or girl, just adjust the colour tones to either sex once their born. Ie paler lilacs and things if a girl, or darker navy etc if a boy.

Hi there, I do like your concept of a gun-metal wall colour however there are a couple of options you may like to consider before using such a striking wall colour in the nursery. Firstly, the predominant colour scheme appears quite muted and calm, but reducing the intensity of gun-metal grey wont work with the beige curtains. To sharpen up the look of the curtain, attach a bit of bling at every 20cm, possibly using that colour on your feature wall. For example if you use colour crystals in purples or topaz, then you could pick up those tones in your new feature wall colour. Secondly, I didn't see any storage in the nursery, so have you consider working some shelving into your decal and installing wall sconces for a soft warm lighting effect. This soft lighting would provide you enough light at night during feeding. Shelving doesn't have to be square timber screw-fixed to your wall, but it can be a composite of materials (some hard and soft) to accommodate all your needs but without cluttering up the floor space. Hope these comments help, sorry I don't have pictures to post on line. All the best, from Halia at Wild Terrain Designs, Melbourne, Australia.
