Nursery

Here is the nursery for those of you who have been asking to see pictures! I still haven't put much on the walls yet, but everything else is pretty much ready to go! I am having a friend do a monogram to hang over the bed, but it is not finished yet. The room is quite green, but cheery! I am really happy about how it turned out. I designed the bedding from a company called Javis-Davis. They were so helpful! Walker put the baby bed together, assembled the glider, and painted the bookshelves! (They had been in my classroom.) He has become quite the jack of all trades! My mom and the lifeguards at her pool spray painted all of the white baskets, which was quite a task! In order to "save money" I thought it would be a great idea to buy brown baskets and spray paint them white. Well, at least 16 cans of white spray paint later, and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears(I'm sure) the moral of the story is: Suck it up and buy the white baskets!!!! Thanks mom!:)

We were lucky that the bench fit so great in this dormer- there's not much else to do with this space!

Yep! It used to be his office and looked so much smaller then. We are so lucky to have so much space to work with! I kinda had to get creative and the rug really helped things flow! Miller thinks its his rug. I smell trouble there...

It it so cute!!! I blew up all the pics so I could really see it and I love it! I got your message after we left the pool tonight and it was after 9 your time so I hated to call that late. I can't believe the 31st! That's so exciting to know when Murphy will be here!

Ohhh - I love it!! I love that material - Abby has an outfit made out of it, but I've never seen it in bedding!! Too cute! You guys did a great job. I did the same things with the baskets (before Abby) - I would have warned you had I known. I mean, c'mon - why does it take so much spray paint for those things to turn white? Enough already!! Oh - I love the rug - where did that come from?

We got the rug at Babies r Us! I saw it online but wasn't sure if it would work! Turns out, it matched perfectly!

The room is precious! I especially love the chair and ottoman which, according to your mom, glide! Awesome! I have "Murphy arrives!" written on the 31st of my calendar. We can't wait to meet him. Enjoy your last few weeks alone with Walker. Soon your lives will never be the same...it will be better than you ever imagined! Love ya!

I can't believe that I live less than a mile away and this is the first I've seen of the nursery!!! I knew it would look wonderful, but I couldn't be more impressed! It's incredible! No posting of the "before" picture?? I see professional nursery design in your future...
