I think I've asked this before, but...

What are you putting above your LO's crib, as in wall decor?  I'm really struggling here since what I like is also not child-friendly.

[mandymay]

Nothing because I live in earthquake country and I can't put anything above the crib without constantly freaking out about it. I do like the idea of some cute pictures or a painted mural or something.

There's some really cute stuff on etsy. I favorite a lot of things that I liked.

My friend has an etsy shop and custom painted a triptych to match our bedding. Those are canvas paintings, so even if they fell they wouldn't hurt the baby.

You could do a wall decal with LO's name or some other design. There's tons of etsy and nothing could fall.

Something like this tree branch decal.

Nothing. I live in earthquake country and hate wall decals.

[jewel]

Nothing, but I'm not really doing much of anything with the rest of the room.

[vtdiamond]

bricco I love your crib, what brand/model is it?

For art above the crib I will probably do their names or monograms.

[blushing]

Nothing, we keeping baby in our room until at least 6 months and then I will do a nursery.

[linz]

We'll do some type of wall art. I have this pinned. Not sure if I want the elephants though.

I'm internally pouting that I can't put these cute prints I found up on that wall. The other walls are all spoken for. Harrumph.

I did find a couple of decal options so looks like I'll be sitting down with my measuring tape and Polyvore tonight to see which one works best.

We did not put anything above the crib before she was born. After she arrived we put a canvas print from her newborn photo shoot over the crib.

I stenciled the wall that the crib is on so I'm not putting anything there, the stencil is decoration enough.

[mannah]

Excuse the bad lighting--this is what we just put up. The thing on the left is a card my parents were given when I was born, and the one on the right is a Picasso that my mom saved and just gave me at my baby shower. The thing in the middle is from Land of Nod and I just like it. (No one else seems to besides me haha). I figure we will reassess after the baby is old enough to go in the crib and take stuff down if it seems dangerous.

Using wooden letters to spell out his name.

[sunshine608]

A wall decal that is a map of the world and his name( we have a world/travel theme going). I'm not a fan of wall decals but it was the easiest and safest option.

Our first idea was to use stencil but besides trying to find a stencil that size and the time, we went with the wall decal. Plus I like that we can just take it down instead of repainting.

[ringstrue]

I got this wall stickers. I forget where - I wanna say target or walmart:



This pic isn't great they are more pronounced in real life. 

[mrspost08]

I am putting a large picture frame up with his initials inside of it. I plan to wrap the letters in twine. In June I will work on decorating the nursery.

[bluelikejazz]

Probably the tree decals that I see all over pinterest.
