Or garden (which is more readily available and therefore cheaper to do) with bugs tucked here and there - grass green backgrounds, picket fence border, occasional bug/bird/flower... The thing is not to have it be so overstimulating it feels like you're at toys are us - competing prints and colors and pictures clamoring for a six year old's attention and looking just as important as the work or information on display. I find that finding a theme or color scheme helps me keep my room in check (and I am a big one about visual noise). My school had burgundy/magenta painted trim, so I found a fabric with that color in it to make curtains, that gave me a green color that I used to cover the black chalkboards I wasn't using and the ratty corkboards. http://www.flickr.com/photos/29461358@N03/sets/72157607019011265/ You can't see the printed curtains, but you can see the trim and the colors I pulled from it. (The navy curtains on the shelves were a necessary evil to hide storage - at a dollar a pop, I couldn't be so picky.)
