It's funny that you posted this question because I was just trying to figure out the same thing. We are in a new house so we actually don't have funiture for the fk's room. We saw a great deal on furniture yesterday and almost bought it but then realized that it was black and very over powering for the room so we didn't get it. I thought white furniture would be great since it could be used for any age/sex. Also the builder of our home painted the room blue, it's a pretty almost sky blue so I think it would be ok for any child. We do have one room that is yellow and I also like that color for either sex...seems like you could do alot more with yellow then with blue. One thing that worries me is what would happen if at the home study there is no furniture or toys or clothes in the room...will that look bad or do they realize that you can only do so much without knowing what kind of child you will be caring for?
I like the idea of the kids helping to figure out what to put in the room. We are probably going to do that for the most part but we obviously need the basics for the first few nights.
Where do you find toys that are in good condition, age appropriate and not too expensive? I have friends and family that have children so I'm sure they would offer some things, but I'd like to have some new things for the fk's to have. Why do you think that the parents wouldn't send the kids toys with them, or at least some of the things? I would imagine that unless they grow out of the toys, they would appreciate bringing the toys with them (almost like a security thing).
