Anna's room and Nursery Help

Hey look! Im posting here! :)

Here is anna's new big girl room. Not decorated, but ya know, Im trying to have a baby here. :)

I sewed ruffle curtains and I really like them. Love the purple. The quilt is from blanchet- matches the color/feel I'm hoping to go for perfectly. The toddler bed is from our friends. It desperately needs to be sanded down and painted. I plan on repainting it white.

The corner just down from the bed we want to do a canopy reading nook like chelsea's.

Now onto the nursery. Little stuck here.

-The pink square. What on earth to do with that spot? Don't have any more green paint and don't remember the color.....

Niche decorating

Okay, here's the blank slate. (The bookshelf has been relocated upstairs, to make room for a canvas photo gallery wall...)

Dan decided, one Saturday morning, to go to Hobby Lobby and "get these niches decorated!"

 I said sure. Go ahead! It's not as easy as you think! Good luck! (as I snickered under my breath...)

30 minutes later....THIRTY. Not THREE hours, but 30 minutes....he comes back, runs around the house for a few things and does this:

 What?! How'd he do that?! 

So much better, but it still seems off. 

For one, we have two completely different color schemes going on. 

On the right, we have the beautiful red/maroon family. I like this color, but not sure I want so much of it. I also like the idea of the lamp, but not this lamp in particular.

Now this picture, I LOVE. I love the shape and size. I think it's perfect. I love the colors of blue and green, as it compliments what we have going on in the front room and the kitchen. 

(the shoe box is just to show you how it would look hanging up...without putting holes in the wall, just in case this is not the final solution. 

So, LONG story short, I went back to the store and got it's matching picture. 

But, is it too much matchy matchy? 

What else could I do? 

Is it both pictures or neither picture? 

What if I did two floating shelves, not, staggered, with items on it, to create a square feel?

Also, any furniture ideas would be appreciated. 

I like the idea of two of these swivel chairs, that could be spun around when watching TV or playing the wii, or back towards the couch for company. 

Thanks for your feedback!

Projects

Okay guys . . .here are your requested pictures!
Of course the coloring is off in all of these . . .

Here's the art niche.  It isn't finished.  We want to add more trim to the columns and it needs baseboard and another coat of paint . . . but the appraiser was coming today so I hurried and accessorized it and snapped a picture for you :) Don't worry, I don't love the accessories.  It was what I could see to grab in the two minutes I had before he arrived:)

 Here are two of the chairs we recovered. I meant to take a picture of the striped fabric and floral.  But somehow got all the way to this point without realizing both of these chairs are the same . . . dope!

 Here are four of the kitchen chairs.  I have one more in the yellow and blue. Again, the colors in this picture are off. They aren't this bright--much more pastel.  But they match the coloring in the fabric and we all love them! The look so much better than it did before. More intentional and less garage sale :) I sanded, TSP, primed them, painted them and then sprayed a high gloss clear coat.  It took forever but worth it.

And there you have it!
