Hi,
It's not exactly a nursery, but we're remodeling our entire house (and get this, baby #3 is due in 46 days. Ack!), and my 2.5 year old DD and 18 month old son are going to be sharing a room.
I'd like the room to blend together nicely, but how do you decorate for both a boy and girl, and still have some gender separation going on?
Thanks in advance!
Tolerance obviously requires a non-contentious manner of relating toward one another’s differences. But tolerance does not require abandoning one’s standards or one’s opinions on political or public policy choices. Tolerance is a way of reacting to diversity, not a command to insulate it from examination.

Are there brother/sister or girl/boy cartoon character pairs you might use? Minnie Mouse on one side and Mickey on the other or Minnie, Daisy, & co on the girl side and Mickey, Donald, and co on the other. Raggedy Ann and Andy?
You could do a royalty room, Over his bed "our sweet prince" and over hers "our sweet princess" paint the toom like rolling hills and put castles on it... really you could do anything. Make it a bright primary colors room (like crayola kind of theme), or I knew a little boy who had a field theme. She fixed white pickets around the room for the fence and it looked like a room right out of peter cotton tail.

So we just got some really great stuff at ikea that is nature themed and can totally go either way. I love it and it was not at all expensive. They also had clown theme and maybe one other.
I would probably just choose simple colors that go well together. I'm all about being able to grow with whatever I buy. My son LOVES the movie Cars (and I mean LOVES...) but I won't decorate his room in it because he probably won't want to watch it every day in a year.
We just re-worked everything! Completely new fabric options, Slings, 6 new bedding options, Custom vinyl wall decals, and much much more!! $5 off for any justmommies.com forum members!!
