Nautical Bathroom Decor - Not Always Fishy

A nautical bathroom decor is not always a boat wheel hanging on the wall and a lighthouse nightlight in the corner. The ways of the water have come a long way in decorating the powder room with fresh colors and everything from sandy beaches to beautiful sea birds and shells. There are soap dishes in various shapes, hand towels, toilet seats and matching shower curtains that all represent the ocean in a way that is a bit more modern than traditional lighthouse and ship's wheel.

Beginning with the shower curtain, because that is what people probably notice first when they enter the room, this would set the tone for the rest of the room. There are those people who like their restroom to be more muted, so the sandy colors of a beach and a light colored seagull might be just the thing for their taste. This type of decoration would also work well with tan or brown and pale yellow towels, a light colored fish as a liquid soap dispenser and a tan toilet seat would complete the seascape look.

Whimsical fish are also popular but they do not have to be cartoonish. These are cartoon-like but more fantasy style in colors and textures that are eye-popping. When someone enters a restroom and sees the colorful fish gently gliding across the cream colored shower curtain or the matching towels, they will feel right at home. There are toilet seats that resemble a fish tank in which the seat and lid are clear and within the clear seat is small fish and foliage. Kids will get a big kick out of this type of toilet seat.

Seashells are a big item for a restroom with a seaside or beach theme. The seashells could be cascading down the shower curtain and also as the shower curtain hooks. There are a lot of seashell decorations such as a seashell square tissue holder, seashell cup and seashell framed mirror. Seashells are very vestal items and could be picked up while the family is on vacation and glued on to a picture frame for a unique photo holder or strung on a strong rope and used as a tieback for the shower curtains.

Palm trees are also considered part of the beach themed bathrooms. They could be toothbrush holders, tall towel racks and robe holders as well as several smaller ones decorating a shower curtain. Palm trees could be colorful and fanciful or truer to color with various shades of browns and greens. The truer colors will allow for mixing and matching towels like tans, dark browns or golden yellows.

Rugs are another eye-catching items that people see first when they enter a restroom and a lot of the beach or sea themed decorations have matching bathmats or rugs. These bathmats are specifically designed to soak up the water from someone's feet as they step out of the shower. They could also be designed to look like the rest of the rooms decorations with a large seashell, seagull or fish. Many of the bathmats are a pale white or cream color in order to tie the other colors together.

Some of the bathrooms that have a beach theme are light yellow or bright sunny yellow, sandy beach colors with tan accents, sea foam greens, sky blues and whites to represent the white caps in the water. Mixing and matching these colors is great fun and can have a real impact on a room with the right accessories. Many of the colors will complement each other, just as they do at the shore. For example, sea foam green will look good with sandy brown and sunny yellow goes well with the sky blue.

7 of the Best Baby Shower Games - Sneaky Way You Can Decorate Baby's Nursery at No Cost to You

Best baby shower games and themes. What do you have in mind or already have planned for your forthcoming baby shower party. Many mums to be planning this type of event unintentionally tend to overlook the important things like playing games and putting together a shower theme would you believe. All because they busy themselves with other matters like sending out baby shower invitations, ordering the shower cake and pondering over what gifts to give. I am not saying a gathering of friends with the above named mentioned, cake etc will not enjoy the party but it is after all a celebration to celebrate a new life, so is this not reason enough to include some of the best baby shower games at your shower.

Before we go about finding which are the best baby shower games for you to choose from, let me tell you about a sneaky way to save time and money for your new baby`s arrival.

Unique best baby shower gift you can give or receive.

As a rule folks who have been invited along to a baby shower normally come bearing gifts, well this still stands in your case only in a different way. Instead, ask the people to donate decorating items. Yes you heard right. Items like paint, wall paper, curtains, bed covers, rugs, lampshade and other baby bits and pieces that make up a nursery. These items you should have listed down and when your guest makes their contribution mark it off the list. It does not end here the fun is just about to begin. Each person unbeknown to them will have the task of initiating or adding their own item (gift) themselves to baby`s room. For example: he who brings the paint "paints the wall," and them that bring the drapes should "hang them," and so on. By doing this baby`s nursery will be perfectly decorated in the colours of your choice (which you will have listed at the start) and furnished at no cost to you. I say perfect because these people will most definitely take extra care in assuring you and your baby has the best. It is good for everyone to muck in because not everyone is a master of the paint brush.

Now back to choosing the best baby shower games for you and your guests. Games have always been the most memorable part of any baby shower so all the more the reason to select the best fun ones to make this an occasion even more memorable. Choosing games to play can be irritating because of the vast choices to pick from. You need to be selecting games that your guests will not lose interest easily. Whether you`re looking for an activity to allow your guests to get to know each other or just wanting to have a fantastic time then not to worry because what you desire is out there.

1. Guess the Mother`s Tummy Size - One of the best baby shower games is to ask the guests to guess the size of the expectant mummy`s tummy. Items needed for play are yarn/wool and a pair of scissors. Each party guest snips off a piece of yarn that she thinks will fit around the mother`s waist. Rule: No cheating by tying the wool around you to help with estimation. Once everyone has had their turn, the mother-to-be sizes up each piece of string around her tummy and the closest to her waist size wins the game.

2. Baby Food Guessing Game - Remove the labels of jars of baby food after numbering the lids. Make a list of the contents of each jar. All participants are asked to taste the food and guess what is contained in the jars. Players have to write down the number from the jar and what they think is in it. If you do not want to taste the food then guess what is in each jar by looking or sniffing it. The person with the most correct guesses wins the game.

3. Baby Sketch Game - Give a pen and paper to each guest. Have them draw a picture of a baby. Mom-to-be will judge which picture she likes best resulting in the winner.

4. Funny Mommy Quiz - Is one of the most popular of all best baby shower games which includes compiling a list of 20 or less questions about the future mum, of which guests will have to answer to see who knows her the most. The guest with the most correct answers wins.

Sample questions:

Does she want a boy or girl?

What is her eye color?

Which nursery did she attend?

Has she had any food cravings, if so what?

What is her favorite movie?

What was her favorite cartoon character as a child?

Did she have any unusual pets and what were their names this will get you extra points?

5. Not To Utter The Word Baby - Give everyone in attendance of the baby shower a diaper pin and ask them to pin it on their blouse/dress. Tell them they must not utter the word "baby" for the length of time the shower lasts. It is better to set a time limit for this game so that people can relax afterwards. If at any time in-between the allotted time, if a person mentions the word "baby" the first guest who catches them saying it gets to have their diaper pin. Whoever has the most pins at the end of the "not to utter" game wins.

6. The Baby Name Game - Is another all time favorite baby shower game. It`s fun, it`s exciting and most definitely very interesting. It can also be helpful for mom to be in naming her new born baby. Simply gather together paper, writing tools, and your friends. Set a timer for a minute or two and see who can come up with the most names in that specific time limit. Whoever has the most complete names when the timer goes off wins? Perhaps the mother would like the name to start with a certain letter of the alphabet (or maybe of the baby`s name she already has in mind for her baby daughter or baby son.) It's your baby shower so it`s also your choice in what games you play.

7. Baby Handbag Rummage - Lastly, we have the shower game that all your guests can join in with. Ask everyone to look through their handbag and make a list of the entire baby or child related items she finds inside. Remember that some adult products in your purse can relate to babies and children. Tell the guest to be clever in their way of connecting their personal items to youngsters. Other moms and single friends will have a great time seeing the items pulled out of each other`s bag. Each one must give an explanation of why they have those items! Once all of the lists have been tallied and items have been checked, award the winning baby shower guest with a door prize or shower favor.

Best baby shower games come in abundance. If the above are not the type or sort of games you have in mind then not to panic because below you will find a much varied list of fun time humor and shower games for your occasion. Be happy, have fun and laugh because when baby arrives there won`t be much time for you to do these things. Nevertheless this is all compensated when you have a healthy bouncing baby in your arms.

And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker." So God made a farmer. God said, "I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the field, milk cows again, eat supper, then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board." So God made a farmer. God said, "I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt and watch it die, then dry his eyes and say,'Maybe next year,' I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from an ash tree, shoe a horse with hunk of car tire, who can make a harness out hay wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. Who, during planting time and harvest season will finish his 40-hour week by Tuesday noon and then, paining from tractor back, put in another 72 hours." So God made the farmer. God said, "I need somebody strong enough to clear trees and heave bales, yet gentle enough to yean lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-comb pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the leg of a meadowlark." It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed, and brake, and disk, and plow, and plant, and tie the fleece and strain the milk, . Somebody who'd bale a family together with the soft, strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh, and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says that he wants to spend his life doing what Dad does. "So God made a farmer."
