my lucy has a beatle's themed nursery (we haven't changed a thing except the bed and she is 4)-- "lucy in the skies" (of course)-- her walls are "marmelade" (melon popsicle, benjamin moore) and one wall is done in cloud paint-- rocking horse, sailboat and normal "clouds". we had a quote on the wall from another beatles song "love you forever and forever, love you with all my heart" (over the crib)

i love it :) yellow submarine is such a cheery idea! have you seen the cute "flap" tee currently available at target? it might be worth getting one for your little beatle fan for the future (i'm not sure what size they started in because i bought 5T :)) i know my daughters "strawberry fields" shirt is one of her prized possessions...i'm going to turn it into a pillow now that it doesn't fit her anymore! (strawberry fields is her favorite song in the world, she could sing it all day long)

elisabeth-- i vote for the "store" over the kitchen if your kiddo is already more flexible about stuff like that. we have both (and tons and tons of play food, though my child at 4 is just getting into that too...she cooks with pom-poms or natural things she brings inside more often than not up until recently :) the play food is a mommy indulgence ;) (more than a child led thing...) still-- i'd say the store is more flexible than the kitchen. the fridge in particular is mostly just storage.

the store can be a farmer's market, a floral shop, a bakery, seasonal (we've done a christmas shop, an easter store, etc.), even a library! on may 1st ours is being converted to a pet shop ;) we've also done a "baby shoppe" (in homage to the little cat baby book for a playdate).

we have a cash register, a scale and a shopping cart, but these things aren't completley necessary (more often than not the kids who play at our house like to shop with baskets-- we have lots of baskets :):):)) the store we have is a cheapy that was at target about 4 years ago-- the retail was 60 dollars, and that would have been a deal for all the play we've gotten-- i actually picked it up at 15 dollars!!!! best toy purchase ever (and oh boy do we have toys ;))

have fun!

we bought the pier one rocking horse christmas 2007 for our just born (supposed to be born in the middle of january) baby who, of course, didn't have any presents (because she was NOT supposed to be a christmas baby). i'd always liked the super traditional look, and we actually were able to get it for 75% off -- so it was a great price :) "macaroni" has been in our living room since christmas 07 and people always comment about how nice he is & ask where i got him. i haven't noticed pier one having him in the last couple years, but before that they always had them at christmas time. good luck with your search! (for what it's worth, my child loves the rocking moose at IKEA :)
