The {almost} Finished Nursery

All we have left to do is hang some things on the wall and line the inside of his dresser drawers!  I'm so happy with how it's turned out and I love how simple and open it is.  I already love spending time in the nursery!

Nursery Update #6

Custom bench cushion.

The basket underneath will hold Maxwell's book collection.

The glider that we'll soon be rocking him to sleep in.

Nursery Update #5

So upon ordering our crib, James and I thought that it was going to be the hardest part of setting up the nursery because everyone always talks about what a pain in the ass building the crib is.  Yea, not so.  See we also decided that Maxwell's room needed some kind of wall art, and we thought that a decal would be cool.  That thing was the biggest PAIN IN THE ASS to put up!  First of all, it came in 4 different sections and it does NOT peel easily from the backing as the instructions would have you believe.  All in all, it looks awesome and I'm so glad we did it.  But how funny is this?  We're putting this thing up and about 3/4 of the way through James stops and goes "You know this thing is not salvageable and we're going not going to be able to pack it when we move right?".  Haha.  Clearly, I know that, but I just thought it was hilarious that he was already thinking to the pain in the ass it would be to take this thing off the wall and then re-apply to our next place.  LOL.

Nursery Update #4

Paint is finished and the dressers are built!

Nursery Update #3

We started painting today, and after about 3 hours, we're almost done!  We just have to wait for the paint to dry for a day or two so we can tape off the orange and finish the blue in the two corners where the colors meet.  We chose Valspar's "Tangerine" for the orange and "Pool Party" for the blue.  Next on the list is building the dressers and hopefully the crib and glider will have arrived in the next week or so.

We bought a glider!

Nursery Update #2

I posted the other day that we bought little man's dressers from Target.  That was our first real nursery shopping day.  I figured James would want to spread out all of this baby shopping, but I was wrong!  Yesterday evening I came home to him with the crib pulled up and goes, are you ready to order this?  haha.

So the crib is officially on the way!

Nursery Update

James and I completed the very first nursery shopping trip!  We decided on a dresser/changing table and went ahead and bought it today.  We ended up choosing two 4 drawer dressers from Target that match really well with the crib we've chosen.  They will sit side by side to create the appearance of one large dresser.

7 Days and counting...

...til we find out what our little nugget is!  I'm so excited, so I thought I would start posting some previews of some nursery inspirations!  Today I'll start with baby boy ideas and tomorrow I'll do a post of baby girl ideas.

Surfer Boy Nursery

I love the colors in this room...the brown, orange and pop of blue.  Although I think we would use a brighter blue.

And I love the modern feel of this one, although it's a little minimalist for my taste.
