[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my god, people, it's a child's room -- it's going to be tacky in a year or two anyway! You can try to make it "classy" and then your kid gets some Elmo poster in a coloring book someone gives her as a gift, and before you know it, that's up on the wall. [/quote]

I have always considered the nursery decorations for me. The baby doesn't care. So I do what I find appealing, not thinking about it as something that will look different when they are older. We also moved the kids out of the nursery and reused it for the next baby, so it stayed pretty much the same.

as for the person that says Pottery Barn does it... when I have seen it as part of a professionally decorated room, it looks ok. But I have never seen one in real life that looks well done. Usually the parents don't get the spacing on the letters right, not totally level, on some ugly curve, and/or the letters they pick out from some craft store just aren't nice looking.

There's  a lot of things like that, aren't there? A professional decorator can make them look nice but when average Joe tries to replicate it, they just don't have the same attention to detail and/or access to the same quality products to make it look nice.

This is the theory:

This is the reality for most people who aren't decorators - if you look at pro pics vs real pics, you can tell most people don't have access to the nice font letters or don't think to go custom order them. OP, if you do it, get a modern font off Etsy, not what the craft store Sells.
