The nursery

The news for the week, until the BIG ultrasound this Thursday, is that we got our crib! Dave and I, with a little help from our furry housemate, cleaned out the nursery and put it together this weekend. I absolutely love it and want to send a special thank you to Bill and Barbara (Dave's parents) for the generous gift.

The crib is gorgeous and I love the way the room is coming together. Here are some pics of "daddy" putting it together and of the final setup:


I am going to take out the top drawer of that dresser and put in some cherry/brown baskets that match the crib. I'm also going to get new lamps with cute lampshades once we find out what we're having. The glider we registered for is the same color wood (a dark cherry) and will have cream colored upholstery to match the dressers.

If it's a girl I also want to put a sheer canopy over the crib like this:
I also really like the dust ruffle that's in that picture... mom, can we make something like that?
I'm also looking at putting this ribbon decal frm Pottery Barn on the wall:

If it's a boy, I really like the paint treatment they did in this room...I'd do it in different colors to match the vintage teddy theme, maybe dark taupe with a hint of rust. We'll be putting up wainscoting and chair rail on the bottom half so the paint will only be on the top half. The bottom will be painted cream.

And I really like this rug....


Goes good with my teddy idea, doesn't it?


I'm sure come Thursday I'll have a lot more ideas... but I wanted to post something fun. :)

Love to all!
