Krieger 5th Gear October 5, 2009 Share October 5, 2009 Hey, try to make it as simple as you can. Reason being stationary items collects dust easily. Also please buy paint which contains no or very little lead. They are really bad for babies. If possible, paint as soon as you can so that you have about 6-8 months of idling before your baby comes. Very often lead in paint will cause brain damage for babies. bear this in mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altivo 3rd Gear October 5, 2009 Share October 5, 2009 (edited) hi, thi was what i did for my kiddo's room -furnished it with colourful furnitures -didn't setup any cupboard but had a big chest of drawers since babies doesn't have much clothes that needs to be hung -kept the centre of the room empty, as that would be the play area where the play gym or activity mat would be -put on some cute cute wall stickers to brighten up the room -attached a small night light then the usual would be -no stools/tables or any objects to be near windows where your kid might climb on to. -electrical sockets to be covered up with safety plugs Edited October 5, 2009 by Altivo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konken Clutched October 5, 2009 Share October 5, 2009 I got some wall decal from Amazon.com. Cheaper than here, but of course I piggy the shipment with other things to share the shipment costs. Now waiting for the cot to come before putting them up. Got something neutral - forest and animal theme cos I'd got 2 coming, boy & girl by end of the year, prob early Dec. Got a changing table from Ikea doubles up as chest of drawers as well and an additional matching side shelf. TS's baby when coming? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup yup, we will probably have the baby cradle in the Master room as well. Hehe couldn't bear to have my precious baby sleeping alone...but will still do up the baby room nicely with lotsa cheerful cozy colours. By the way do you play classical music for your kid last time?

Thargor i would advise u not to spend such money... u will ends u wasting monies and time nia... when my 1st child was born, i did the same thing but can u imagine?? the baby not in the baby room 99% of the time... reason? u need to feed the baby every 3 hours during the 1st 4 mths... moreover, when the baby cried, u hv to rush over to the baby room... in the end, it make more sense to place the baby with the adult...
