When we went to Lullaby Lane in San Bruno we were in for some schooling. I learned that about 80% of their cribs are conversion beds, so that the crib can be used for a newborn, then convert to a toddler size (with a guard rail), and then later into a twin sized bed (with headboard). We were quite overwhelmed by the options and prices, in addition to the commitment of knowing our child would be stuck with the same Sea Mist colored bed that mom picked out one crazy day in July 2010.
We decided to keep our eyes peeled for these cribs online.
Until we were walking out the store and discovered the Stokke Sleepi crib system:
This is a crib that grows with the baby as well: adjustable from bassinet size to crib size, is compact, durable, minimalist, and has wheels to cart around! Luckily when I got home I found a Stokke Crib system sold with a matching Changing station/ shelving unit on Craigslist for a very reasonable price! So I'm real 'Stoked' to be bringing home baby girl's first Nursery crib & changing station tomorrow!
As for the walls, we would like our baby to slumber in an ocean-like room. I was really in love with the title/opening art in the Animation Ponyo. I'm going to paint a mural inspired by scenes from Ponyo's title art for our girl's room, hopefully making it agreeable for a boy's room as well if we ever have future boys down the road. I've got a few art projects lined up in addition to the mural, including painting some ocean animals to hang on the wall in frames or plaques.
In fact, I drew this out before so the mural will look a little like this:

can't wait to get started on painting the room when you get home! (and set up the Stokke too)
