The Nursery

Well, I know it's taken some time, but finally, here they are...pictures of the nursery. You've been waiting so long, and surely you are expecting much more than you will find, but remember it's a work in progress!

Ah yes, the beautiful before shots....I know, a blue room, how perfect for a baby boy! But really, everything was blue, the carpet, the walls, even the mini-blinds...it was a bit frightening. I was happy to see it all go...and Eric was happy that he now has a "putting blue" in the basement.

After two paint colors...and Eric almost not speaking to me, we were able to get the new carpet in and the furniture moved in as well. If you can believe it, the first color was even brighter than this color, but after four coats of paint, I felt it would be best to accept the brightest color in our house, and move on, instead of getting the death look from my husband for the next several weeks!

This is actually a pretty interesting piece of furniture, and no, it's not upside down, although it appears it may be. It is a dresser, that when the baby is small, you can flip over and use as a changing table, the drawers flip over and everything!

I know it appears sparsely decorated at this point, but I've got big plans...books, bins, cute pictures, etc...I'll keep you posted as it fills up.

And the crib...because I waited so long, we received the mattress as a gift from my mom who is sad she may not make any of my showers. And this is the bedding that I loved, and why the room ended up such a bright green in the first place! I think I am going to hang the quilt on the wall, but we have to find the little do-hickies that will allow us to do that first!
