117. Nursery Snapshots

After spending many hours on Houzz.com and various other design sites, I started planning the nursery. First step... convince husband to paint stripes on the wall. Not as simple as you would think (the stripes that is).

I had the boring task of taping all the stripes, which is why we only did one wall. After hours of bending down with a fat pregnant belly, I didn't want stripes any more. Nonetheless, I think they turned out just fine.

These are a few snapshots of the work-in-progress nursery. I should be finished by the time Jack is walking, then I'm sure I will have changed my mind and be ready for an update... just kidding, love you husband! he he

I walked past this moose at Ikea for years and always thought he was so cute, but a little weird if I purchased it with no children. So he was the first nursery purchase! I'm not sure he'll ever be used, but he looks good.

I borrowed this Moses basket from a friend... as a sucker for cute baby things, at first I only wanted to set it up because it looked pretty in the nursery. Yes I know that is lame... but baby Jack is sleeping in it now. The jury is still out on whether he should go straight in the cot.

This is Ewan the Dream Sheep. He's a white noise toy and is the best $40 I have ever spent... Washing machine & Vacuum swishing noises are one of those things you only need to know about when you have a newborn baby.

Now I better get this room finished before my child goes to school!
