Baby's Room Phase 2

We are finally "done" (it will always be a work in progress) with baby's room. I've been nesting like crazy because everyone keeps telling me "any day now..." and I don't want to leave for the hospital in the middle of the night and have to come home to a messy house. I think Ryan likes this part of pregnancy... besides the chores he has to do.

Here is baby's crib... the quilt on the end was made by Ryan's mom (more on that in a future post)

The changing table... Ryan made the shelves and I'm currently trying to make baskets for the cubbies, but a horrible tutorial has gotten the best of me and I had to take a break.
The view from the doorway.Baby's bed in our room sitting on the dresser. Our room is too small for a bassinet so I found this awesome bed. I'm in LOVE with it. Serene on the inside, fun and funky on the outside. It is really soft and cozy too. When I opened the box everyone said "oh Lula is going to love that". I haven't given her the opportunity to try it out, but if I leave it lying around I know she will cozy up in it.
OK baby, were ready... you can come out now.

Baby's room phase 1

The baby's room is almost ready! I had good intentions of taking a before picture, but forgot. I was going to take pictures of us working away... but I forgot. I was also going to take pictures without the furniture...but I forgot to do that too. OOPS

Well here is the nursery phase one, kind of. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Ryan (Mr. I don't care) had to have a chair rail so we compromised on the paint and I gave into the chair rail. I must say that it looks much better than I expected. Our brother-in-law John helped with the painting and turned a three day job into a 5 hour job, and made it look much better than we could have. It is hard to tell in the pictures but the bottom color is a light sage and the top is a mint green. I love that its gender neutral but doesn't say "baby's room".

Here is the view from the doorway.

And the view from the closet.


The crib & changing table are from Ikea and a gift from my parents. We got a lot of accessories from Ikea as well like the blue blanket, white fur, curtains and more. The glider was a steal of a deal and only cost me a few hours of babysitting. The curtain rod is from Land of Nod clearance for $10 for the whole set with shipping!

I have a things that are going on the walls, but I haven't decided if the furniture will stay in its present location so I don't want to put up the wall stuff just yet.

Thanks for visiting! only 9 more weeks!
