decorating baby's nursery....
well the time is upon me (bout 6 weeks left) until jnr joins this world...
and i'm doing up his bedroom / nursery.
what i'm looking for is wall decorations in the form of maybe stickers or wooden wall stickers that make up maybe the alphabet or numbers rather than the average winnie the pooh wallpaper, or anything else slightly different....
any help appreciated!!!

Slightly different to stickers, but JoJo Maman Bebe do a great material caterpiller (about 1m long) with animal finger puppets for every letter of the alphabet. My son loves it (well, he tries to eat them anyway!).
We've also got his name in little mirrored letters on his door.

Got a friend to paint some of the Jungle Book characters for us, he's done a fantastic job, I now have a 6 1/2 foot bear on one of our bedroom walls a 3 foot tiger and a tree that goes to the roof with a monkey sitting on one of the branches

Miserable gets that we are we never bothered ... his *nursery* doubles as the guest room. He hasn't complained yet ... (7 months ..). When he's old enough to have his own bed he'll get the double that's in that room. Just be a little more problamatic with stay-over guests ... but he'll be the only kid at nursery with a double bed ... definitely help with the *chicks* ... :-)

Going through the same thing myself (10 weeks to go! 
)
Anyway, room is pale yellow anyway.
Found a jungle animal self adhesive border from B&Q (brightly coloured, rather than the usual pastel colours!!) which cost £7.47 per roll.
Fitted a dimmer switch to go with the jungle theme uplighter lampshade (to give a more gentle light)
The curtains are already blackout ones, so no problem them, but I might fit a blind as well.
Converted an old office cabinet into a wardrobe with shelf storage. We're using an old bookcase to give toy and book storage.
We bought a Tassa set of drawers (£70) from Ikea, with a changing table add on (£15), as well as a changing mat (£3.50).
We are getting a hand me down cot (so more pennies saved)
All I've got left to do is change the carpet once we fine what we want.
