First of all congratulations :)

Now for the room, my first thought is to paint it a lighter colour ,the room seems to be a bit dark , the flower shaped rug is very pretty for a little girl and offers you many colours to work with .

Thank you, we are excited! So thexcited paint color actually is a light yellow...its just the time of day that I took these photos that makes it look dark (right before sunset). I ordered these two rugs...not sure what shape I'll like best (I'll attach a photo of baby girl's bedding too).

Any other feedback? Was thinking of maybe switching location of dresser and crib?

I like to be able to pass by the door and glance in to see the crib and how things are going. I don't like the tall shelves cornered. That eats up floor space in an already small room. I would put the shelves right of the crib and flat against the wall instead of the chair there. Put the chair in place of the shelves so you can easily see the door from it. Leave the dresser where it is. Replace brother's nautical themed items with something girly (no chevron, as it is already dated) and I'd get a more girly white mirror for the dresser. Paint the walls a very very light green from that portion of the medallion in the center of the rug. Take it with you to the paint store and have them custom blend a paler version of it for the walls. I think you should find white curtains in a blackout version and paint or change the rod to a white one.

Thanks for the feedback! So to the right of the current bookcase is a door that's a bathroom. Do you think putting the recliner there will stick out too far and block the door? It has a depth of 40"

You can scoot it more in front of the window and it should be OK.

I love the rug that you moved from downstairs. I'd consider keeping it in the nursery. Is the layout below correct? If so, can you post the dimensions?

Er612, I've attached a pic of the dimensions:)

I found some curtains over the weekend that I love! Im not doing girly colors as I personally hate them..her room will have a bohemian vibe to it. I made this mobile that I want to hang in the corner above the rocking chair:)

We plan to move my son to the next room in April/May so I have a little while to figure it all out. :)

Another vote for the round rug -- it fits the space better and doesn't emphasize the angles.

As for "play space," I'm not sure tiny kids are in their rooms much, other than at night, and are likely to come downstairs to play when they reach that point, given a sibling in the house. So it's mostly about the look of the room and the comfort of your feet in the middle of the night...

Oh, arrangement: I think I'd like the crib in the corner, myself, both for the coziness and so that you don't have to squeeze past it to come in and out. You could ditch the curtains in favor of a light-blocking blind until the baby is older. Then I'd switch the chair to the next corner, and just move the bookcase to the other side of the bathroom door. (Probably time to put the wall chart somewhere where it's reachable by the kid who can actually stand, and then by both...)

If you get a round rug, I would get an 8' rug. 6' seems too small (at least from an aerial view).

So I played around with some different layouts today that Er612 posted....the recliner needs to be in the corner that it is (super bulky and deep). So with saying that, what is everyone's thoughts on this layout? I've swapped the dresser and crib...and this is the rug we are going with. Love it, totally compliments the sheets :)

Love, love the rug and linens. I liked the above posters comment about having the crib where you can see it from door....if you put changing table on the angle wall its very handy if you *ahem* discover that you need to wash baby off before a fresh diaper. However, when she is a toddler and you are trying to stretch nap time you might want the crib on the angle wall........you know what yr rhythms were w yr son
