We got a bookcase headboard bedframe in white. For bed covers, I bought one that had different colors, kind of purple, blue and some burgandy. The room has burgandy carpet and navy blue blackout curtains (the window faces the street and we didn't want car headlights waking up anyone in the room). It would work for either boy or girl, but we had girl in mind. We bought a large teddy bear and put it on the bed.

Besides a dresser, that was it at 1st. Now, she has posters on the wall, pictures on the headboard, her favorite books of the moment, dolls all over the place. Oh, and when we adopted (or, when we signed placement paperwork rather), grandma bought her a bed set of her choice. The boys too.

OH yeah! I made a welcome poster for each of them, saying welcome to our house and that we were happy they were with us. That stayed up for months and months. I think C still has hers up. The boys ??? well, it's under some other posters I think (they have a corkboard in their room that was there from the room being an office). That's something I would have bought 2 of, had I known when I bought it years ago. It's large...2 1/2 ft by 4 ft or so.
