Nursery Decorating Ideas

Question by Mommy of 5 littlies!:
Ideas for redecorating my childrens’ bedrooms and my baby’s nursery?
Ok, I live in a five bedroom house. One bedroom is used for my husband’s study and a spareroom for visitors. My twin 6 year old girls have their own rooms, and my three year old son has his own room. My three week old baby is sleeping in mine and my husband’s room.

We want to move our newborn into her own room, so we’re moving the twins in together into the biggest room on the middle floor (we are on the third floor). Since this is currently my son’s room, we need to redecorate it. We also need to redecorate one room for my newborn girl (it hasn’t been decorated for six years) and a room for my three year old son.

I need ideas! We need one room for a baby girl, one room for a boy to last roughly from age 3 – 10. And a room to last for two girls roughly from age 6 – 12.

I was thinking for my son to have a pirate theme? Two white walls, one blue wall and one blue and white striped wall. All the floors are wooden so we could put a red rug in, then put signs like ‘walk the plank’ up around the room and I even found a pirate duvet cover to buy here:

I need ideas for girls’ rooms. I DONT want typical a pretty pink, princess room for my six year olds. I do not mind doing that for the baby nursery though.
Sorry – what is a comforter?
