lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Every now and again i start to fantasize about what i want the nursery to look like. I know that the vision i have created probably will not look like the outcome, simply bc i am not that artistically gifted to do so. not to mention that i am the queen of procrastinating, so the ideas i have in my head will not get accomplished due to pure laziness. I would like to think that once we have the house, i will feel inspired to actually complete a project. from vision to completion.

Green. i start off with one of my favorite colors....think of my next favorite thing...dragonflies...and then think of a calming and tranquil place for a baby to nest in. The Woods. I have a thing with nature. i love it! i love dirt, bugs, trees, animals, leaves, water....you name it. i want our baby to rest in the forest. I am thinking of a nature theme - green walls, i saw a green at a maternity store, on their walls and had to ask. Behr paint...Rejuvenation. something like that. paint grass fronds at the bottom of the wall. collect dragonfly stuff and other buggy things (this is where the laziness may come in) to attach to the walls and make sort of a 3D effect...of course not around the crib and not close to the floor. :-) i would love to have a fountain of some kind in there to have the sound of water. i have had fountains in the past and they are a big pain in the rear so i may skip this altogether. so if that doesn't pan out, there are always nature cds. Paint a tree in the corner of the room with a big canopy going onto the ceiling. butterflies. ladybugs. preying mantis. if i can get it all painted myself, i will be so proud!

It doesn't matter what the sex of the baby is...the room will still be the same. there is no gender preference to nature...well, if you had to pick, if would be feminine i guess. Mother Nature. but she has ALL her children....and there are girls and boys.
