The room is pink and green. Perhaps I'll paint one wall green--maybe the kelly green I have in the kitchen? That's the wall I'd put baby boy's crib against. I've also been looking for boyish fabrics that have frogs on them--maybe surfer frogs, camping frogs, etc.? I could use these for crib bedding and they would coordinate with Lucy's girl frog fabrics (which are on her crib right now and--I hope--will transition somehow to a toddler bed). Here are some fabrics and decor items I've found so far:
Some of the wall art is very cute, but I haven't found just the right fabrics yet. I'm thinking I could also do something simple--a white waffle-weave-type fabric for a bumper and bed skirt, with appliqued frogs.
Edited to add: found this cute fabric at purlsoho.com:

Another option would be to use a curtain partition. You could put a rail on the ceiling [sort of like the hospital has] and separate the room... Also, I LOVE that frog bedding. Where you can really on see the eyes of the frog! Very cute. :)
I love some of the art too, I understand about the fabrics, Lucy's bedding is so perfect I think you will have a hard time finding just the right things for th boy side, I love your idea of apliques or maybe in small doses use the froggie fabrics. You know you could do a totally different theme too if you wanted, by painting the boy side a different color you open up your options quite a bit! I love the frog idea though, very cute! Happy Searching.
I love the idea of adding frogs for baby. That would work great and I remember loving that green in your kitchen. I cannot believe you are 23+ weeks pregnant!! Completely unbelievable! Hope all is well, all things are going well for us, enjoying summer. Talk to you soon!
I almost passed out from how cute those boy and girl frog wall hangings are!
Have you see this website?: http://www.whatisblik.com/
It's down for maintenance right now, so I can't search for frogs, but my friend Rachel bought a few of the wall designs, and they're *great.* They look really wonderful and allow for clean lines and easy changes. She has some paisley designs up: you might be able to do something like that in green if you didn't want to repaint the whole wall.
Regardless, I LOVE Lucy's room! You have a such a great eye that whatever you wind up doing will look amazing. Be sure to post photos when you're all done (however long from now)!
Lucy's room is so cute--you've done a great job--it will be so easy to add in the green for a boy! I think I read that you used the same color in your kitchen as Ricci--if so, that would look great for one wall in there!! The frogs are very cute, too. Like Nell said, paisley would be cute, too, either white or dark blue on a green wall, or a color on a white wall. (I'm assuming you don't want that wall pink (grin!)) I'm sure it will be so cute, regardless!!
