It's the Wedding Cake all over again

Nursery decorations are already proving to be a pain in the butt.  Do we do a theme?  Do we go more traditional?  Non-traditional?  Bold colors?  Pastels?  Skulls and cherries?  Tropical?  An Elvis theme?  So the answers boil down to "We don't know."  I know it's early, but it's not like we just started looking last week.  We pretty much hate all nursery themes/sheet sets we see in the stores.  We aren't huge fans of pastels.  If we venture out on our own we need to figure out how to make everything or find someone to make the crib set for us.  (If you or someone you know can do this for us (and it's not too expensive), CALL ME!!!)  Also, nothing store bought will match any fabric we plan on using.  Not that being matchy matchy matters too much to us.  Currently, if it's a girl we want to do a general bird theme with these fabrics we got at JoAnns a while ago.    (I just tried finding them on the JoAnn website and they are gone.  So that's great.)
And if it's a boy, we want rocket ships and robots.  Just not pastel rocket ships.  (We had found a very vintagey looking print online and, again, now I can't find it.)  But we still aren't sure.  And we won't be until we know if it's a boy or a girl. 
On the off chance that it's twins we are doing a Dr. Seuss room with Thing 1 and Thing 2.  That one is easy.
We did this with the wedding cake.  There are too many choices, too many colors, too many combinations that we LOVE.  How can we decide on one?   So here's to another 4 months of cake shopping.
*UPDATE:  Forget rocket ships and robots.  We found this:

I really, really want to do a monster room for a little boy!!
