Mario Brothers / Old Games Nursery

This picture (source) has inspired me to make a Mario/old video game nursery. I was going to go with a classic Winnie the Pooh theme, but I think I’ll save that for when I have a girl. I think we’re going to nerd out on our little boy.

Here are some links to Mario rooms I’ve found on flickr:

• Super Mario Living Room <— A little too busy for me, and too old-old school.
• Baby Room in the works!!! <— So cute! But a little sparse. It is in the works though.
• Super Mario Living Room <— Too old-old school, and I like “mini” Mario better.
• mario room <— Love!
• ChasesRoom <— A nursery!!
• Nintendo Super Mario Bros. <— Good use of the decals.

Some of these look like they’re restickable wall decals, which I’m not opposed to, but I just haven’t found the look I want yet. I like the Super Mario 3 look more than the older, browner ones.

Other games we’re thinking of including: Bubble Bobble, Zelda, the dog from Duck Hunt, and Mega Man. Maybe Ninja Turtles later.

With as much as we might be moving around with the whole army life thing, I don’t really want to paint a mural on the walls. So that means that anything we make would have to be a stand-alone piece OR some kind of wall hanging.

I am also thinking up Nintendo bedding for the daybed that will stay in the room.  Stuff like this pillow and this quilt. And those are my thoughts so far. It’s going to be awesome.
