I am having some finanical choices that I have to make before my girls are born. I have the option of either staying in my current apartment in Greenwhich Village in New York with a rent of about $600 dollars a month. Or I have been looking at homes in the Bronx and I have found 3 good, small homes. They are perfect for the new little family that I will have soon. I am just having some trouble deciding on what to do.
I also need some help on deciding colors and bedding and other things for the girls nursery. So if ANYONE out there has some advice, I would really appreicate it!

I love the whole jungle theme for either sex. I'm an artist and when I do have a child... whenever that will be now.. I am painting full size elephants and giraffes and that stuff. I think it's equal to both.


I also hate that typical pink for girls and blue for boys crap. Ideas I know of;
Winnie the Poo
Disney Characters
I think Green with a yellow trim about 1/4ths up the wall with a "pondish" feel is very cute. Like little frogs, some water lilys, and some blades of weeds/grass.


Throwing out some ideas

being from Maine i can tell you moving in the winter sucks so if you are going to move this is a good time to do that just be careful because the price of fuel is going to be crazy this winter and its supposed to be extremely cold

For a girl I am going to do her room in Ladybugs! With the colors, yellow, red, and greens. Bright, happy colors.

And for a boy, it will probably be the jungle theme. with the colors, yellow, hunter green, tans, browns, reds, all that good stuff.
I was thinking of doing my boys room in John Deere Tractors. The greens and yellows. We are from the South so John Deeres are big here. I was going to get a bunch of old looking tractor signs, like tractor crossing signs and stuff like that. But for a baby I think I would rather do the Jungle animals.

I know you must be excited about doing fixing their little room up. Its fun, my husband tells me the only reason I want to have a baby is to fix their room's up. LOL!

Thank you guys!! I found this amazing little home in Brooklyn that is REALLY cheap and it is not a rental. It is so beautiful and thankfully, it is only 19 minutes away from New York City. The home has 2 bed and 2 bath. It is perfect!

Now all I have to do is choose names and plan to decorate the nursery. I still cant decide on a color scheme...

I dont think I am going with wallpaper, but I am going to get my dad to help me paint the nursery, I just dont know what color... Any suggestions?
