Inspirations For Baby's Room

this pic from Kidropolis

My wife is now 7 months pregnant and we are both getting really excited about the impending arrival of our son! As expected, I've made it MY job to decorate the Nursery Room. I know to many people it probably seems a little late to be starting on this! But we Asians are well known for the thousand and one superstitions in our culture! One of these superstitions (we call it "pantang" in this part of Asia. It's actually a Malay word meaning restrictions) says that one must not carry out any renovation work in the home of an expectant mother. Now, me and my wife, we are not usually superstitious people......but.......you gotta understand, this IS our precious son we are talking about here! So we rather err on the safe side no matter how ridiculous it may seem, alright?!!

Anyway, I've been surfing around researching on nursery rooms decor. Now, before this, I've never liked children, so I tended to steer clear of such topics like the smallpox! But since being promoted to the ranks of a father, I've started to see the LIGHT!! So anyway, these are some pics I've gathered in my "scrap folder" entitled BABY ROOMS IDEAS.......

Now, I'm a designer so naturally, I'm easily attracted to these pics for the tasteful furnishings and colours..........

These cribs are truly PERFECT!! But I'm quite sure I won't find anything like these here in little old Singapore........

I'm also quite sure I'm gonna wanna attempt to create a mural wall in the room. But I don't want it too complicated. just simple lines and two dimensional prints........like these..........

I quite like this room too......but I'm sure I don't want something this complicated and probably won't be able to do something this elaborate anyway...........
