The Nursery

The nursery is just about done. We finished painting tonight. The bottom half is chocolate brown and the top half is a shade of lime green. The two colors are separated with a strip of khaki with brown dashed circles that are similar to those in the bedding.

The green is a bit bright for my taste, but I think it will be toned down once we hang the wood blinds and valances, as well as hang things on the wall.



Here is a close-up of the paint job (sorry about the flash).

I can't wait to fill up the room with more fun things!

A Sneak Peek at the Bedding

The bedding arrived a few weeks ago (compliments of Nini and Pawpaw)! It is chocolate brown, cream and light green. I absolutely adore it! I can't wait to finish the nursery now with all the little accents that match! We still need to paint as well, but I'm keeping my idea for that under wraps until it's done.

Baby Furniture

The baby furniture finally arrived yesterday after the shipment had been delayed three times! Don hauled it into the nursery, and I spent the entire day today putting it together. It. Was. Not. Fun. I am exhausted from it!



By mid-afternoon, this is what the nursery looked like...yikes!

By late afternoon, I had made more progress...

Finally, I was completely done with all three pieces (crib, dresser/changing table and hutch) around 6:30 tonight.

Here's a sneak peek at the nursery (minus all decorative aspects!)...

P.S. I made that plate on the top shelf to match the color scheme of the nursery.

A little birdie told me that the crib bedding is en route to Indianapolis as I type...yay!

I'll be sure to keep you posted as we paint, add bedding and finish off the room! As Don said tonight when he walked in the baby's room, "All we need now is the baby!"
