I'm 99% sure I want to do a travel theme if we have a boy, but I'm torn as to if I want it to be more cartoon (babyish), or vintage. I like elements of both, but I probably won't make that decision until I have to. That being said, I have two boards for a boy.
I really love the artwork in this one- it can even be personalized with kiddo's name. I feel like it's whimsical, and definitely lends itself to more playful bedding. The storage cubes would obviously not be pink in a boy's room, but that's the picture I had so imagine blue and green. I actually think this room might be easier to do and have it look like a little boy lives there, but I'm not sure how well it would age with our little one. Also, I am not a big fan of bright, primary colors. Enter option 2:
I love the more grown up feel to this room, but at the same time, I wonder if it's too grown up for a baby. Also, this room tends to have more cream than white, and we have some existing white shelves that Husband built that I don't want to feel out of place. The other thing I'm not crazy about with this room is that I tend to like very full rooms, and I think the more vintage feeling room would not lend itself to lots of accessories.
Of course, I don't have to decide between the two unless we're having a boy, and Husband will get a vote as well, but I'd love to get all of your opinions too!
I love the second option but with the fabric from the first. I think the vintage theme is fine for a baby. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI really like both looks. I am drawn to bright colors so I really love the first one. We had trouble deciding how baby-ish to decorate. Just look at tons of pictures online and you'll figure out which look is more you. I don't think you can go wrong with either of the looks. (or your girl look, for that matter!)
ReplyDeleteI really like the first one! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm like you in my dislike for primary colors. But I do like the first one better - like you said, you'll be able to accessorize with all sorts of colors. And toys!
