The Triplets Nursery

This has been a big dilemma for us (mainly me). When we moved into our house last year we didn't take the master because we did not need that big of a room and we wanted it to be a kids room or playroom. Our house is 4 bedrooms 3.5 bathrooms with 3 upstairs and 1 down (the guest room). We took one of the rooms in the back of the house because it would be quieter too and its still plenty big! So the triplets will have the front room and we are very happy we have that option because its big enough for the three of them. They have a big walk-in closet and a huge attached bathroom. They also have big windows in the front. The room is about 20x18. Here is an outline from when i was playing around with furniture placement. (the door on the same wall as the closet is to the bathroom).

So you can see its huge! And as for furniture we went with Munire. It is a great company and the cribs are really well made and sturdy. They also convert all the way up to twin beds. Here is the set we got. (Thanks grandparents for helping make that possible!) Obviously 3 cribs and 1 of the others. We also have a changing table and we bought a glider and ottoman last week.

So the dilemma comes with the theme. The three will be in the same room for at least a few years so we wanted to do a theme that works for all three. But, I didn't want to just do something gender neutral. I wanted to have boy-specific and girl-specific elements tied into the same theme. Thats where it became hard. There are not many matching bedding sets for each gender. So now we are going to design our own bedding but the overall theme is still not decided completely.

Last week I was looking at options and something dawned on me: Water, Ocean. Patrick and I both scuba dive and love the water and I have found some very cute things! So for now here is what im thinking. We are getting the room painted when we are on our trip a turquoise color. (Thanks brother!) I love it! From there I have been looking a lot at Etsy and found some awesome under the sea things. We have decided to put whales above each of their cribs with their names. 2 blue for the boys and 1 pink for our girl. We are going to paint a underwater looking mural on the ceiling as well. From there we aren't sure and I have no idea on the bedding yet but I will keep you all posted! Let me know if you have any ideas!
