The Nursery

I feel silly that it has taken me this long to do the nursery post.  I kept thinking I had a bunch of stuff left to do, but then I sat down this morning and realized that all I had to do was hang the pictures and gather some other stuff into the room.  So I did just that and then took pictures.  I've had this room 98% done for like two months now.  Oh well.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.   I wouldn't mind getting a cute rug to go in here eventually but we'll see. Almost all of the stuff in here I made myself.  My first project was this cute butterfly chandelier. 

I can post more details on that later.  It was pretty easy to make, although it did take quite a bit of time to cut out the butterfly shapes and glue everything together.  It was really inexpensive, though.

My next big project for the room was to make the curtains.

They are pretty simple, but I added a cute ruffle at the bottom to make them more girly.

I also made the quilt for the crib.  I did that quite a while ago but it's still one of my favorite parts of the room.

And now onto the room pictures.

Lucas wanted to help show off the room.

That picture doesn't actually say "Baby's Name".  I just wanted to illustrate what it will look like after she's born.  Right now it's just a boring empty frame.  Don't you love that cute little elephant?

And here is another one of my favorite parts of the room.

I'm so excited to finally have a fancy chair to rock the baby in.  Lucas had to make due with the crappy furniture we had as poor college students, but not this little girl.  I'm afraid she will be spoiled.

And of course the baby swing.  Lucas loves to come in and turn on the swing and the music.  He's really excited to put baby sister in there and then play around with it.

I still have to finish up a few things after she's born like put up her name, and maybe do a few pictures of her on some of the walls, but this is pretty much it for now.  I love to come in here and pull out her cute little newborn sized clothes and dream about how adorable and tiny she's going to be.  5 more weeks...
