The Nursery: A Work in Progress

My friend Stephanie has requested a post to show what is happening in the nursery so far. Even though I would prefer to wait until everything is perfect, I can't deny my fellow pregnant friend an update.

Most of the big pieces are in place: the crib, changing table, glider. All the decor items are yet to go in though. Oh, and nothing fit into the room according to "planned layout" that I previously posted.

This is the changing table with some of the storage baskets on it. The curtains still have to go up this window, and the fan has to be changed out for a chandelier.
Here is the crib outfitted with the bedding. There will soon be some wall decor above it.
Here is the glider and ottoman. This chest, that I was going to paint white, ended up being too big for the room. We ordered a smaller chest, that should be here in the next two weeks.

These are the rest of my plans for decorating Ellie Kate's nursery:
  • change fan out for a cute chandelier
  • hang curtains
  • move in new chest of drawers
  • hang framed art over chest
  • put up name decal and paper butterflies above crib
  • hang tissue, kissing balls above glider
  • hang book bins on the wall
Hopefully, when my to-do list is complete, the room will be pulled all together.

And I guess I should finally be brave enough to post a fat picture. Here is one of Greg and I before heading down to Music Fest to see Panic ( I'm 24 weeks in it).
I didn't realize that my face looked so puffy until just now. Wow, guess I need to drink more water :).

  1. The nursery is so sweet! I love it and I'm sure Miss Ellie Kate will too!! On another note, did you say "fat picture"?!? Girl, you're a mess, you look tiny and absolutely beautiful. Once you hit 8-1/2 months I dare you to look back at this picture of yourself - you will think you look so good and skinny! :-) Love you and miss you, thanks for the pictures. xoxo!
