I wonder if tiny newborns and toddlers remember how their rooms were decorated after they are all grown up? I certainly hope so although I doubt it. I can state unequivocably that if you give a teenager a room decorated for an infant, that teen will remember that room for the rest of their lives. Here is what my room looked like when I was twelve … and thirteen … and fourteen … and fifteen. We finally moved a few months before I turned sixteen. Then (in 1964)In my family it did not matter what you did my parents would not re-decorate my room unless it was their idea.

The room I lived in for three years and seven months had been lovingly decorated for a little baby boy who was probably born right after the Second World War or thereabouts. Just like hospital rooms, green paint was used. Down one wall (I always imagined that is more than likely where the babies crib was located), was a flaking wall-paper border depicting a faded locomotive motif. The train conductor’s cap had annoying French words on it that I knew by heart. I always thought of them during my French classes. I put the desk in this corner of the room because of the room layout. (about the size of an average baby cirb, that was what my desk was). The wallpaper with the smiling conductor and brown train lasted far beyond my childhood into my young adult life. The uniform he wore was blue and striped and a red kerchief was tied around his throat. Do you think the little brat for whom the room was decorated remembers it as clearly as I do? I really don’t think so. Baby Room Decorations

The frames on the two big windows in the room had a horrible orange-red paint on, which was clashed badly with the already sick green walls. But they did match the curtains. I will always be thankful that those curtains were so faded, and even ripped in a couple of places, that I didn’t have to live with them for very long. I am not sure of the name of the game the boy on the fabric was playing, he was wearing blue sailor suits, knee-high socks and running behind a wheel while holding a stick. Both the train conductor and the boys were smiling and I hope it was enough to make the infant boy in his crib do the same or at least fall asleep quickly. They made ME want to slap them. Themed Baby Rooms

I came home one afternoon and the curtains were gone. Surprisingly they were thrown out by my mother. She replaced the curtains with new ones that hadn’t been faded or torn. I believe the material consisted of green and white stripes I remember the firsts set of curtains in the baby room better than I remember their replacements. Baby Room Ideas

When I had my own children years ago, I did not decorate their rooms. I waited until they were old enough to tell me how they would like the room to look, which didn’t work out too well either because my two sons shared a room. But I did listen to them. The Year Six decided that they wanted to have bright red walls. (the colors associated with his favorite soccer team). Near his bed he had a large red wall. A wall full of NBA players and painted orange was at the top of the eleven year olds list. (Utah Jazz, I think). He has an orange wall decorated with various posters. White was the original color of the two walls that remain. My sons were pleased that they were not embarrassed when their friends came over, however I felt as if it were the worst room I had ever seen in my life.
