nursery—phase two
The walls and trim have been painted, the plethora of old paint on the hardwood floors (which we discovered when we pulled up the carpet after we moved in) has been meticulously scraped and scrubbed away, and we assembled all the furniture we have except for the baby papasan. Although we are far from finished—especially since we have no bedding, dresser/changing table, or accesories yet—the room is starting to finally look like a nursery. Frankly, we love it. Josh and I can't help but walk into the room when we pass by the door and stare longingly at an area that will soon be filled with baby love.
The ultra-comfortable glider and ottoman that my Grandma got us for Chirstmas. I predict many a late night feeding happening here as well as lots of bedtime stories.
The tiny bookshelf Josh and I bought that will soon be filled with books and toys.
A Lane chest that was given to me years ago. This will probably end up in the basement and this spot will be replaced with a changing table/dresser combo.
Until then, it's working out great as a storage area for all the goodies we've been given so far.
A shot of the room entrance from the point of view of the glider. So far we've moved around the room in a clockwise manner—just to give you some perspective.
I really wish that the crib matched the rest of the furniture, but it was given to us and is a really nice piece. It also saves us lots of money since we won't have to buy one now. I think I'll get over it. That blanket doesn't belong there (I just forgot to move it when I took the picture) and we bought a crib mattress today. I shot these pictures yesterday so you don't get to see it in the crib. It's just a mattress though so you aren't missing anything.

Isn't it the most exciting thing? I loved doing ours. Yours is turning out really well. I can't wait to see it with the bedding. LOVE the floors!
How sweet, you guys!
It all looks great!
My sister had two of those gliders, but I think my folks ended up selling them, because they have so much furniture, and they never used them for Calem.
The best investment was the swing, though, according to my sister. Calem loved his swing.
Chardy May—We have that flooring throughout the entire main floor (except the bath and the kitchen). You should have seen what it looked like before all the paint was scraped and scrubbed off—a real travesty.
Jen—We try!
Lynda—Thanks. We love the glider even now, we sit in it all the time already just daydreaming about the baby.
It looks great. I love the paint color. And don't worry that your crib doesn't match. Saving money is what it's all about!
