As I do love designing and decorating (though I am less confident about my decorating abilites as I am so picky) I was excited when we found out yesterday what sex the baby is. The U/S tech was very confident. Can you guess? Here is the money shot:

I was all conflicted about furniture, something that looked decent with BG’s crib, I couldn’t get fancy furniture or I would feel like BG was left out, or I could get BG new furniture and move her’s into the new bedroom, but when I found out it was a GIRL I found a very simple solution. Get the same furniture. It’s from target, it’s cute but nothing fancy (aka not expensive) but it worked perfectly well for BG and it would go well with the bedding I like. BG’s room is all soft femanine shabby chick without being too kitchy/cute, more classic with some vintage flair (or so I try or envision it that way, it’s still in the works as the “baby” stuff comes out).

(omg freaking me out cute but crazy!)

For #2, it’s a little more whimsical and a little more bold/modern with that same shabby chick/vintage flair thrown in, just a little more fun and a little less classic.

 Here is the dresser (same as BG’s):

Here is the inspiration room, I will be painting the walls a similar blue as I just love it.

It has little owls and tree’s in a very bold print on the sheets, I had gotten the crib sheet before for BG but did not like it at all in her room. I’m not a fan of that dust ruffle either, but I did order the twin quilt for when I co-sleep as I did with BG and for when SHE gets older (OMG she…. blows my mind, 2!! omg!).

There are some more photos of the stuff I got in my “Project Baby’s Room #2” flickr set.

Now with the money saved I’ll be able to get BG this as her special present when #2 is born. I think some people would argue it’s better to get more quality furniture, but I feel like most furniture is way over priced. When I was 10 my mom got me a set from IKEA which is still in her house not one scratch on it. I was very tempted by the PBK funiture but i went into the store today over lunch and was not impressed by the quality for the price. I wish Tomashville sold kids furniture. Either way I think this is a more fair and economical solution, and once they both get old enough for proper beds I will not skimp on getting a very good mattress and frame, I’ve learned my lesson with those!
