The Nursery Fabric "Situation"

So, work is chugging along in the nursery. B and I spent some time last week and this past weekend working on the painting. Unfortunatley, because I decided to go with white and the walls were a rather warm colour, it's requiring quite a few coats. At this point, we figure we are one coat of white away from finishing the walls, and I still have to finish the baseboards and the door, but we're almost done (I'm SO sick of painting!).


With white going on the walls, you may be wondering what my plan is for colour in the room. I've decided to inject some colour using accessories, fabric and by repainting the red dresser that lived in the guest bedroom. My inspiration for these colours is coming from the fabric I've purchased for the nursery, and at this point I have two completely different fabrics.
A couple of weeks ago I made the trip to the Fabricland Home Decor store on Bloor Street in Toronto and ended up leaving with this fabric...

It was bright and fun, and I was loving the blues and greens that were in it. After sitting on it a few days, I started to fear that maybe it was more of an impulse fabric purchase. As crazy as it may sound, I was worried that it would look "too childish", and it just wasn't what I wanted for our little girls nursery. I wanted it to be pretty and calming... without being too babyish. I wanted her to be able to grow with the room.

So, last Friday I made a trip back to Fabricland to pick up some no sew hem tape for our bedroom curtains. While there I decided to look around for some fabric for the laundry room when I stumbled across this....

Unlike my first fabric, I didn't hesitate. I knew I loved it. I could see it in our little girls room and every other thing we needed just sort of fell into place in my head. I knew that B wouldn't be too impressed that I went out and bought MORE fabric for the nursery, but I also knew that I couldn't walk away (especially since it was 50% off for members only until the next day), so home it came.

From the moment I left the store I knew this was the right fabric. I was instantly excited to go home and work more on the nursery. I could see the once red dresser, being a fabulous turquoise, and started fantisizing of all of the other beautiful little touches that I could add! There's lots more to do before I share some actual photos, but we're hoping to be ready to share very soon!

So what's the verdict blogger friends!? What fabric would you have gone with? (Not that I'll change my mind... I just love hearing your opinions!)
