Forgive me, but what's beadboard? And, of course, little one will have an honorary Pet Talk Grandma in you, Terry!

Thank you, Kari!!!

I found a picture of beadboard but it's not real good. I don't know why the picture reminds me of it but it does. I have this great love of beadboard and all things that look like it. I think it's the "country" feel. Here goes:



I know you don't see where I get the connection. I'm so weird sometimes. Does it make any sense?

I totally see it! It is kindof a country feel. That's partly my intention. Because it is such a BRIGHT, cartoonish theme, I really want to "tame" it down with softer paint, and more old fashioned accessories. But, I also found a clock that is really funky and trippy, sorta like Dr. Seuss' work! It's too expensive, but if I can find one like it, I'll get it

Ohhh, I love both.

I really like the Dr. Seuss books too. The first book I read was one fish....

I will start purchasing some as soon as I have a place to put them.
After we decide on a crib, we'll get little bookcase and toy trunk that will match.

Other books I'd like to get are little golden books and disney. Those were all my favorite as a child. I would still have mine but I gave them away to a little girl I used to tutor English to in Italy.

I had the nursery painted last week but no theme.
It's bone color paint with white trim.
My husband and I prefer wall handings and decals so if we get tired of looking at them, we can take them down and put different ones up. Depending on the kind of bedding I get, the room will have matching decals and wall hangings. I registered for several bedding sets. I like too many kinds.
I wish I could find a girly bedding set with puppies/dogs on it.
What I've seen is for boys only.

As for 3D and 4D ultrasound, I have looked around and the cheapest place that does it is my own OB for 125 dollars. We might splurge and get it done. I believe it's done between 28 and 32 weeks.

I like wall hangings and decals, too...we'll be painting the walls with those stripes, but, the colors are pretty tame so we can really change the look of the room with decorations if and when we want. It's not too babyish. I can't wait to see what you decide on as a theme!

I thought the 3 and 4D were way more than that, I say go for it!

Thanks, Kari. I knew you could figure out my weirdness.

Not only that, but check out post #1. My mother has a toybox that she's going to give us for the nursery and has that beadboard look you were talking about! HOW COOL IS THAT?
