1. My mom and I still need to make the crib skirt
2. My mom and I made a hamper liner but sadly, we made it a bit too small so we need to fix it to fit and
3. We're hoping to switch out the small bookshelf in the corner with one that matches the dresser and nightstand
oh, yeah and mostly we need a baby!
Since Matt and I have been going through the "I want a baby NOW" feeling for years, we've had a lot of time to think about the nursery. Ok, honestly, I'm sure Matt didn't think about it too much but I sure did! I have a board on pinterest for nurseries and every free minute I had I would be scouring the internet for ideas. I came across another blog one day and I fell in LOVE with the color scheme. I was torn between this color scheme (a bright, vibrant series of colors), and a more relaxed calming color scheme. We went with the vibrant one!
Thankfully Matt allowed me to basically do whatever I wanted in the nursery. He of course helped choose the rocker, the crib, the pictures etc. but it was mostly my design/vision. In the end, he loves it just as much as I do. It truly is my new favorite room in the house.
Now, we've been so blessed with time to be able to do this, but now that it's done. We're ready and so very excited to fill it with a wonderful little baby.
Without further ado... here is our nursery!!!
(and yes, there are multiple images of the same view but the room is VERY small and the spot from the door is really the best spot to show mostly everything).
The original room was a very pale blue. Blech. Just not a great color in my opinion.
Matt working VERY hard painting!
These are just cute blocks that I saw on etsy and had to have. We got them from this seller.
The prints were the one thing that Matt and I fought over the most (no surprise there since we're both artists and designers and we both have different design tastes). I only bought one of the prints. The other 4 we created ourselves. I went onto etsy and found some that I liked and then just created ones like it, while adding our own little touches.
This is really only because I LOVE dinosaurs. :D
This is one of the scenes from Dumbo and the words are from the song that Dumbo's mom sings to him.
The saying on this one is from the movie Bambi II
This is the one print that we bought. We got it from this etsy seller
And of course we have to finish it off with a picture of our current baby. Teddy LOVES the nursery. He's always going in there and he loves jumping on our laps when one of us is sitting in the glider or sliding himself under the crib.
Well, that's it. Was it worth the wait? What do you think of it?
