This is what the "nursery" looked like when we moved into the house two years ago!
However it quickly turned into this....the catch-everything-hole-we-shut-the-door-and-act-as-though-it-doesnt-exist room
Our first purchase for the room was the dated and ugly dresser I found on Craig's list. Brian & my family looked at me a little crazy when we went to pick it up but it quickly became this...
The boys got into the helping spirit by helping me clear out the room and build the shelving system!
after painting the shelving my parents helped us hang the curtains and finish up the accent wall.
Finally the crib is up! By the way that's Frankie the nightlight dog. Everett and I are beyond obsessed with him!
The room stopped looking alot less naked when Brian hung the 12 pieces of art (I added three more later) whew!
after much debate I decided the white sheets just didn't do it for me but of course baby items come in mint green, baby blue, brown or with a $70 price tag. So I ventured into at home washing machine dyes.
Luckily the sheets and changing pad cover came out this delicious (yes I said delicious) turquoise color! Oh and surprise! There is baby boy#2's name- nickname that is.
We have found ourselves hanging out in the baby's room quite a bit. Everett loves it in there and Daddy loves that comfy chair!
This is the artwork my amazing friend Sara designed for us! They totally make the room. We have gotten a ton of compliments on them :-) She's the best.
So there's a peak into the newest room in our house. Everything is in place for baby's big arrival! I am scheduled for my C-section on February 10th. My last day at work is this Friday then I get an entire week to sleep, clean and maybe even get a haircut. :-) See you when we're parents to two beautiful boys!!
