ditto for the wall art designs. i especially like the 3 trees above the crib!

i saw this awesome looking tutorial for how to make slightly light-catching butterflies using empty (and cleaned) milk jugs. here's the link: alphamom milk jug butterflies

hope this helps!

i just got one at home depot last week and it only cost me $29! came in VERY handy at the beach!

i can't wait to take our daughter camping! we're planning our first trip (close to home, just in case) for when she'll be 6-8 mo old. the book babes in the woodshas been quite helpful and full of good ideas!

i'd suggest Etsy as well. i also LOVE littlesaplingtoys (linked by hoxit_rocks_it) though i've yet to buy from them (on my wish list!).

just search for "wood block letter" or something similar and pick a listing that floats your boat!

you forgot to include this tauntaun sleeping bag, a MUST for any star wars fanatic!

it was originally just an april fools gag item offered by thinkgeek, but when the public cried out for the real thing, they made it happen! read more: at the NY Times!

blue can DEFINITELY be a girl's room color! we painted our guest room blue as well (the first thing we did after moving in because the walls were 9 different colors, but ours is not as dark as yours) and will NOT be repainting for our first-born (gender TBD on its birthday). don't let anyone make you repaint! there are so many ways to make it girly if you want to, or more toward the neutral if you don't want to support stereotypes.

if you want girly: i like the suggestions for white furniture and soft carnation pink accents. or that blue would probably look great with the currently trendy yellow & grey color scheme.

with our blue walls we're going with green and brown accents and lots of unfinished wood tones.

good luck! pictures (when you finish the preparations) are encouraged!
