The Baby Nursery

We've been working on the nursery ever since we got back from Utah this summer & have just done a little at a time. I'm still waiting on a few things to make it complete, but I figure I better post pics now cuz once the little one arrives that is all people will want to see. :) We had a lot of fun putting everything together.


I really wanted the nursery to have striped walls, but was very nervous because I didn't want it to make the room feel/look smaller. I just have to say that Doug & I make a great team! I picked out the colors & he executed the plan. (as always) He spent a long time measuring out the stripes & painting the room. It couldn't have turned out more perfect!


My mom & I made the crib bedding while I was in Utah. It was so much fun working side by side with her as she taught me a lot about sewing! I think it all turned out perfect!



She sent me home with the extra fabric & I decided to make a valence for each of the windows. It took me a while to get them done, but I didn't give up & I just love how they turned out!


I also used some of the fabric to make a cover for his mobile. This mobile was actually Dougs when he was a baby! So fun!

Now the only thing missing from this room besides a few decorations is our litte one! I hope he arrives sometime soon. I simply can't wait to meet him!
