Baby Nursery Makeover

okay...i have no clue how to make over this room slightly to make it more feminine and to be honest, i'm kinda pooped from my other nesting and am creatively drained.

I am taking suggestions and otherwise I am TOTALLY open to just accept the fact that mschiefmaker #3, as a baby, won't have any clue that she has a sports and cars themed nursery. :D I'm thinking there is a high probability she may be a tomboy like how I was! notice that there is not one but EIGHT drawer pulls missing. J-boy managed to unscrew every soccer ball, truck and car drawer pull that once were on this Pali dresser we got from Great Beginnings nearly 6 years ago

My mom totally blamed me for encouraging the kids to write on her wall because we chose to paint the bottom half of the boys' room in blackboard paint. HA!! Notice too the books have overflown the bookshelf and we'll probably have to get a bigger bookshelf soon. *sigh*
This Pali crib had to be assembled inside the room cause it is too big to fit thru the tiny doors of the room! eek! It's a great piece of furniture.
No one sleeps in this car bed for too long. They find their way out of it and into our bed without fail each night. Good thing I have this book to make me NOT feel bad about having a Family bed. The Dutailier glider and ottoman is also very very durable. I can't believe how much I paid for nursery furniture, but I sure think they're worth it b/c these are great pieces that I would keep in some capacity even after the kids are big...well not the crib of course. I think I'll give that away or sell it on Ebay.

Behind the door is our excess toy graveyard. I think another trip to Goodwill is in the making. Gotta make room in the closet for Ms. Chiclet's pink, purple and frilly stuff. :)
