Nursery Reveal!!!

The day has come…the nursery is finished (well, almost).  It’s close enough that I’ll take pictures while it’s clean and neat  

Here are the pics of  my baby girl’s nursery!

First up, the white & yellow damask curtains and the freshly painted grey walls.

The crib, with newly sewn crib rail covers and a crib skirt.  Hoping to get a crib bumper (the breathable kind or I’ll sew something)

The Tree…this took a bit of time.  But using tips from JustaGirl’s blog, and a friend let me borrow her artist paint brushes…it came out pretty good I think.  It was a bit difficult to paint a straight line on a textured wall.

Then we have the dresser, which was a bit time consuming but I’m liking how it fits in the room.  You can also see the beginnings of the photo/picture wall I’ve started.  Can’t wait for my SIL to take my maternity pics and our family/newborn pics so I can get some beautiful photos on this wall.

Rugs were made by Joe’s grandma and they match nicely.

Closer look at the crib…

I lined the dresser drawers with different papers I got from Ink & Paper.  Just followed tips from this site. What’s even more awesome is Ink & Paper took a few days to ship and I just figured it was because of Memorial Day weekend.  They, without me even asking, refunded my money…including shipping.  So I got the paper all free and when it came, it was a lot more paper than I thought it would be.  So awesome!

Butterflies that I purchased when we were in Florida.

So what’s next???  Well, I will be filling up the dresser, organizing the closet (notice I didn’t post that because it’s full of clothes and the baby bouncer, jumperoo, sling, etc, etc.  It’s organized, but looks jumbled because of the big items I stuffed in there to get out of the way.)

I’m also making these fabric poms…just need to find time to cut out hundreds of circles of fabric.  I’ll take this project with me to Indiana and hopefully get it done there.

I’d also LOVE to recover my glider (which is currently in the boys room, but will be moving back into the baby’s room), but not sure I can.  Here is a site I found where a lady did hers and it’s exactly how I’d want mine to be.  The cushions on mine aren’t the most comfortable and the back needs more padding so I always stuff a pillow behind me.  We’ll see. It will have to be done after the baby arrives, so I’m not sure I’ll get it done.  But I can dream can’t I?
