How To Make A Beach Baby Nursery |
By Debby Banning
 Your new bundle of joy will soon arrive and you want a peaceful beautiful place for your baby. I can not think of a more serene place for a baby than the beach. Since most of us cannot afford to live on the beach, we can bring the beach to the nursery.Lets get started with the nursery makeover.
I would replace the carpet or use a throw rug. Tan would be a good color, not only is it the same color as sand but it is a neutral color. Or if replacing the whole rug is not an option you can buy a throw rug in a tropical beach theme.

If your closet doors are not already white than you should paint them unless they are mirror closet doors.You will need to hang a white chair rail around the room. It is usually hung about 1/3 the way up the wall. Paint the bottom half of the wall a tan
(sand) and paint the top half light blue (sky). If you know an artist you could paint some starfish and shells on the bottom half of the wall.
To go with the beach theme you should buy white furniture for the room. It will keep the room versatile and bright. There are cribs that turns into a bed and grows with your baby so that you never need to buy them another bed. I would not buy a changing table. I would just use the top of the dresser instead. You will save money and room in your nursery.
Here are some links to adorable beach themed bedding in boy or girl theme.

There are so many cute bedding themes. Flip flops, ocean creatures, sailboats, hibiscus, surfboards, and many many others to choose from. The hard part will be to narrow all of the cute choices down to one.

For the walls, I love Wallies and they come in such cute themes. They are easy to use and can be used on more things than just your wall. You can decorate plain jars to with the Wallies that holds your Q-Tips, cotton balls, etc..You will need a small CD player, it doesn't need to be fancy. Play Chopin With Ocean Sounds while your baby is sleeping or nursing, play sounds of the ocean with this Chopin With Ocean Sounds CD.
There are a lot of ocean themed baby toys that your baby will love.

When choosing to decorate with the beach theme, it will grow with your child much longer than choosing Barney or Disney to decorate your nursery.You just can't go wrong with the beach.
