Daughters sharing a room. Decorating ideas please?

What should we do about our daughters room? With our first daughter we had Looney toons as the theme so it wasnt too girly. The mobile and bedding for that got ruined though. For my daughter who is now 2 we got her the spongebob room set. Its table and chairs bed and storage for her toys. Well the reason we chose the Spongebob instead of a more girly character that she likes just as much like disney princess or dora is because we knew we were having another baby and were planning for just incase it was a boy so their decor in their room that they will be sharing wouldnt look too bad. But we just found out today that we are having another baby girl I want to make the room more girly as my 2 year old girl is starting to become more into dress up dolls and girly things. Also we were wanting to do a butterfly theme for the nursery part of their room for the new baby. So what should we do about the Spongebob furniture? Its all blue and yellow. It seems more for a boy. Any suggestions or ideas for their room would be very much appreciated Thanks

It really depends on how much room you have to work with. I suggest you pick a cream colour for the walls and then it wouldnt clash with both differences. You could buy girly things to hang up e.g. butterflies made out of wood or posters. Hope I helped just a little bit :

Go with the Disney Princess theme. You could sell the Sponge bob stuff on Craigslist and find more princess stuff there. The thing about using a princess theme is its easy and little girls love it. It doesnt have to be high dollar Disney registered stuff either. There are alot of princess items available. You could build things to add to the theme. I made my Granddaughter a mirror from MDF board with a router that looked like a crown. Painted it pink and glued on glass jewels. Look online for free ideas and plans.

First off I would stop buying themed furniture or bedding.They outgrow it too quickly. If the Spongebob furniture doesnt have characters on it Id work with it blue and yellow can be very gender neutral. Paint the walls sky blue or yellow or do one wall in the blue the remaining in yellow then add lots of pink butterflies and accessories. Make the walls look outdoorsy simple paintings of butterflies a tree some flowers or use stencils or other appliques made for walls. Look for bedding with the three colors in it J.C. Penney has a big selection check them out online. If you get bedding with an outdoor look to it try to copy some of the print onto your walls. There are inexpensive craft paints for around fifty cents a bottle at Walmart which would make your decorative painting affordable.

Paint is a wonderful thing. Even if these are plastic items with Sponge Bob they can be painted...Or just sell them and start over. One idea to let them each have their own space is to concentrate the pink in the nursery area the keep lightening it with white paint as you move away from that portion. This will give you a gradient look in the room. The attach the butterflys to the walls lamps and ceiling. Some great ideas here. http://www.bugsnblooms.com/pages/decoratingideas.htm Keep their bedding the same color. All white is great as it can be bleached if there are stains. Stuffed animals and toys on a book shelf can be altered as your childrens tastes change. The butterflys can be removed and you can change it to something else in the next few years. The thing is the simpler you keep it the more their personalitys can develop the room as they change and grow.
