Nursery!


The nursery is ready and waiting!

The crib will eventually have his name on the wall above it, but we're waiting until after he's born to do that part.

I love the chair we got! It's super comfortable and just the right size for me. His bookshelf is overflowing! We have more books stashed in the den, even.

This part of the room is more interesting.
For one, that's not the dresser we'll have forever. It's on loan to us from the company because they messed up our order and our real dresser won't be in until mid April. We're borrowing this one for the time being so we would have a place to put the changing pad.

The pictures above the dresser were made by Trey and me! We took old books and cut a page out of them, then mounted the pictures in frame mats, and attached ribbon on them for hanging. We think they came out super cute! It adds a nice punch of color, and we thought adventure stories fit with the alphabet bedding and was good for a boy's room. Plus, this was much more inexpensive than other wall decor we'd been finding. The Dick Tracy sign is a tin sign we found at an antiques store, and we thought it fit the adventure story theme, so we decided to add it to the wall.

Here's a closer pic that shows which books each picture is from:
And here are the books we got them from:

I love how everything's turned out. We just did what we like and it all came together just fine! I think our adventure story wall is great, too! We'll be able to use those pictures for a while, and it adds a personal touch.

We're very ready for him- whenever he decides to come!
