Nursery Stuff (some furniture from my Mom -new photos added 03/21 Post 1)

[finn's mom]

I have found the absolute perfect wall decal for the nursery. I originally was really wanting to check out a muralist in the area to paint the entire room like a scene with Dr Seuss characters, but have since changed my mind.

So, I've got a few ideas for the room...but this wall decal will absolutely be the focal point of the wall. I'm so excited, I love when you get that feeling that you have found the PERFECT item for what you want to do!

I really wanted to have the baby's name somewhere in the room (like wooden letters or something) and I also wanted a Dr Seuss quote (either painted or with decals). This combines them both! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!

Of course, the name will change, as well as the color. (and just to clarify, all we're using from this first photo is the lettering, probably in red...we're not using the paint idea from the first photo...although I do like the little stools!)



Added 03/09/09...We're almost 100% sure that we're going to copy this idea from the pottery barn website for our walls. Not necessarily exactly those shades of blue and yellow, but probably pretty close. We won't have the "one fish..." lettering, and the "oh the places..." will probably overlap some of the stripes and be in red lettering, but this gives us something to start with! (And, that is the bedding we got...undecided on the bumper, and not sure if the skirt is even part of the bedding at Pottery Barn.)



Here are a couple pieces of furniture that my parents will be bringing with them when our baby is born. They'll either make it to Texas when I'm nearing my due date or they'll wait til we go into labor. So, the nursery won't be 100% complete when baby arrives, but it will have all the necessities.

I love this bookcase, it's about 40 inches tall, so it's not a huge one, but I like it a lot. Not sure if we'll paint it or leave it white. The furniture will be a natural wood color, so painting it red might be fun. Same with the toybox.



This toybox is really cute! My mom's using it right now to store the baby stuff she's bought for us. It's about 16 inches tall, and it will fit perfectly under our window in the nursery. I plan to use it as a bench as well, so I may make a little cushion for it. It's exciting to start piecing the room together, even if it's only through photos right now!



And, here are some of the little gifts my mother has picked up along the way. Their truck will be loaded down when they head to Texas to welcome our little girl! But, honestly, as long as the truck holds them safely, I'll be grateful.



Here's the crib we're getting...



The dresser...



And, the glider/ottoman...



We decided to go with white, since the toy chest and bookcase my parents are bringing with them are both white.

06/30 Check out posts 29 and 30 for new photos! We opted out of getting the ottoman, I am just going to use a stationary object to elevate my feet. Lack of space and I honestly rock better when my feet have something to push against.
