I would pick the pink curtains for the room. In my opinion, the gold curtains has large patterns and will "fight" against the gold wallpaper visually (which also has a large floral pattern). When you are in doubt, you can always put the two curtain panels alongside the wallpaper to see which one looks better.<br /><br />As for the baby mobile, I would pick #5 for its minimalist good looks since you already have the bold and fabulous wallpaper as the focal point, just my 2 cents.<br /><br />P/S: Come by and enter my current giveaway for a chance to win a BISSELL carpet cleaner (worth $260) if you like!

I appreciate your grace and ability to sail through. I like drapery panel #2, but, #1 is so cheery and I'm really drawn it, especially for a little one! Looking forward to seeing your reveal!

Since you asked for our votes on the mobile and curtains, thought I'd chime in.

Your plans seem so well thought! Over the grib I would choose 1 or 3 and I like the pink curtains better. The bigger pattern in the other curtains would work better in larger windows.

However, this room is so glam and burst color and fun that the carpet want even matter! I said it once and I'll say it again, that gold floral wallpaper is stunning and so glam! I love your choices for over the crib 1 & 3 are my favorite because they are different, girly, and full of color and glam! I also like #2 in the curtains because it ties in the glam gold factor. However, you might decide you need more color against the gold wallpaper. Keep up the hard work, you're almost there!
