Nursery

The nursery is finished!  It's been a work in progress for a while but it all finally came together last week.  I'm happy with how it turned out.  We decided not to paint and instead use other things to add color to the room.  Winnie the Pooh (and a lot of Piglet) is the theme.  I had a general idea about what I wanted the room to look like, but it changed a few times and I think in the end it's what we want.  It's a small room, so it looks pretty crowded right now, but as she gets bigger it'll be better (the crib leaving in a couple years will free up a lot of space).

View from the door into the room.  My Mom made the curtains.  A friend of a family member gave us the shelf (and two others you'll see later) and we spray painted it to fit with the room better.  The twin bed and bedding were mine growing up.  Most of the Pooh characters are represented on the shelf.


Continuing around the room to the crib. The Pooh characters are wall decals (so easy and cute!).  My Mom made the bedskirt. A dear friend made the quilt hanging at the end.

Close up of the crib (Adam put it together . . . I helped a bit).  Most of the Piglets were mine but there are a couple that are new for her (and I realize once she starts sleeping in there they will all come out).

The other two shelves that were spray painted.  The dresser we've had for a while.  It has socks, bibs, hats, blankets, towels and the Ergo carrier (so excited to use that!).

Close up of the first shelf with Piglets (and a few other characters . . . I had a favorite).

Close up of the second shelf.  Again, mostly Piglet.

The top of the dresser.  Her first bank is the bear (already starting on that college fund!).  A basket of shoes and a musical Piglet.

Continuing around to the other side of the door.  The finished dresser from my grandmother's house that Mom and I refinished.  We kept the original porcelain knobs.  The closet is to the side.  We took the doors off to have more room.

Another shot of that side of the room.  Taking the doors off made a huge difference.

This dresser matches the other one.  It is our changing station and storage (books, toys, diapers, changing supplies, feeding supplies and some clothes).

Madeline's sampler made by Mom II and when the sampler for this little girl is finished it will be hung next to it.

So that's the nursery.  I'm happy with how it turned out.  There are still  few things that will be added later (another sampler and family handprints on a canvas) but overall it's done.  I hope she likes it too!  Thank you to all of you who have helped make the nursery as beautiful as it is (painting, putting things together, making things, carrying things, putting the fan in, gifts for the baby to fill it and so much more).  We couldn't have done it without you!
