| I need some decorating tips We are moving mid next month and I'm not exactly sure how I want to do my son's room. He has a bunch of Disney Cars items and has a Little Tykes racecar bed (blue). I have a color picked out, it's like a sand color. I think blue would be a little much. His room is really big so wallpaper/border would get a little pricey. I would really like to stencil something on his wall, but I'm not sure what. I thought about checkered race flags and then a saying. What do you guys think? I'm also having a bit of trouble with his playroom. I have some neat jungle prints and I have a large Lion King snowglobe I would like to display, so I would like to keep it a jungle like theme. Any ideas?

| Why don't you do one wall blue? One of the little girls I sit for has 3 of her walls painted a cream color, and one wall painted a violet color. It gives color to the room w/o it being overwhelming. I've seen several rooms done like this and it always looks good. Have you thought about maybe putting one of those wallmurals up? Another family I work for has a parrot one in the little girls room and it looks cool. Here is a raceway one- WALLIES Race Car wallpaper wall mural HEre are some Jungle ones- Colorful 3D Safari Wall Mural for Decorating Kids' Rooms Jungle Animals Wall Mural for Decorating Kids' Rooms 3D Safari 2 Wall Mural for Decorating Kids' Rooms Jungle Wall Mural for Decorating Kids' Rooms I want to see pictures after you finish his rooms!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | How old is your baby? My tip is not to create a playroom, unless your children are older. You will be tempted to buy all those huge plastic toys and castles that you see at yard sales. Your baby wants to be in the same room as you, and I found that having a toy basket in the family room was enough. With decorating, paint is by far the cheapest and most effective way to go. Since you already have a racecar bed, I would look for shelving that could be decorative as well as functional. I agree with Sladesmomy painting one wall an accent color can be effective. Red might make a nice accent wall, with the blue racecar bed as focus, and I like the checked flags idea.

| We painted our baby's room with one wall being the accent. We went with a tan/sand color on three and then a green on the fourth to match the crib set we got. Menards did a great job and matching up the green. It adds a little something to the room. I like the checkered flag idea.
