Next Step...The Nursery!

First Step.... Colour!
We are kind of torn as to the colour we want to use. The room now is a soft/light brown, which is ok...but dull. Taddy's grandpa thought it would be nice if we changed the room colour. His thought...new baby = new room! We are looking at something neutral, and are kind of leaning towards the green colour ( not the theme though) in the Picture below:
This paint is called "Christopher Robin Swing" by Disney/Behr paints. Our dear friend Jill had mentioned it to us and we had to check it out.
Furniture...
We are still piecing together the furniture, but Taddy's grandma's have already purchased us the following sleep stuff!
This is the Crib we have now. It is still in the box, but ready for assembly once the room is painted. We are looking for a matching dresser/change table, which should not be too hard to find.
The colour should go nice with that green paint, if we go that route.
Bassinet! This will likely stay in our room as Taddy will sleep in this for the first little bit. It is pretty cool unit and has music and lights etc.
Taddy has the best Grandma's!
Also, we will put the rocking chair that we just bought ( if it ever arrives!) from Costco Online in this room also. This chair looks super comfortable also
I must say that I am getting excited to work on this room this weekend!
What are some other popular neutral colours? Any ideas are welcomed!

That green is a pretty shade! And I love the rocking chair you picked out! Decorating a baby room would be so much fun! :)

Green is great. Actually our daughter's was a tan, then we moved. When we did, we painted her room green, and well as my son's green. My son wasn't born yet! The color goes well with so much. When the room is done, you will have to post a pic!

That green looks wonderful and the furniture is adorable and so nice. I would love to see a picture when the room is done too.

Oh! And here's how we did our babies room (we weren't 100% sure she was a girl so we wanted a neutral room). I'm not completely happy with the way the green looked once it was up on the walls. But it's not bad, especially for very little budget in a rental. http://www.domesticdork.com/2009/02/lucys-room.html

Our whole house is that green color, it's very soothing, I love it. I love tan or an aqua blue or a chocolate brown as accent colors, very trendy.

I will post some pics as soon as we get it done!
