We will be sleeping her in her own room from day one as well. It's relatively neutral in there already. There is an entire wall that is a Disney mural type thing. It was all hand painted so the characters are quite small but the background is just blue and green. The curtains are purple but they are darkening curtains so the purple isn't evident when it's night and the big light is turned off (I'll post a picture later if I remember, lol)We are going with neutral brown colors with some light green and light blue pastels because we anticipate putting the baby in his own room from day 1. While bright colors are great for brain and eye development as they grow, they are really distracting to a newborn that you want to be asleep (thats why bright colored rattles and pacifiers keep babies occupied for longer, because they are like WTF what is this color I have never seen before??) And as brand new newborns, one of the first things they can see is colors (everything else, shapes, faces are just blurry blobs). My college degree was in infant and childhood development and we did loads of studies that asserted that babies and children have harder time falling asleep (and staying asleep) when surrounded by vibrant colors. We are going to have colorful stuff in the playroom and around the house but are keeping his sleeping quarters more plain so he can get used to the "this room is for sleeping only" concept.
True psychotherapists will tell adult patients that suffer from sleep disorders that they should have a separate room for sex and NOT have a tv in their room for the same reasons, but who follows that rule? LOL
Those are gorgeous Anake! I'd love to learn to crochet, I'm not the worlds best knitter at the moment but sticking with it!

OK sorry if you don't LIKE my decorating idea. We're not going crazy with rainbows in the baby's room, we're painting the walls a soft green and the furniture is brown. We're just using the rainbow inspiration as accent colours (ie blankets, pillows)...nothing too big and bold. Basically keeping it so it can be changed up at any time. We don't have a lot of money to spend on the perfect baby's room anyways so I'm using my imagination. I'm painting a lot of the free furniture I found on our local free-cycle page to match the crib we bought. Your baby room sounds nice, and it's your style, but it's not ours. We'll just agree to disagree on this one.
