annarose that is a beautiful, calm looking nursery! I love it!
Thank you westiemom I have really been enjoying putting this nursery together. I'm surprised H hasn't said much about all the packages showing up on our door step lol I'm about to order a few more items - can't stop!
No pics yet, but MH and BIL built a California style closet system today for our boy. I LOVE it. There's a strip of shelves in the center for baskets then we will do high and low rods on either side of the shelf. We picked out baskets and bins to fit on the top shelf then custom designed the closet to fit the pieces. So excited and proud of MH. #shamelessbrag

Target has a new Pillowfort collection of nursery/kid decor and they have a space collection. I thought of you gahorseygal, although I think you probably have everything you need already.
fishbulb how old is J? We're going to be making the transition to big boy bed here in a few weeks and I'm kind of nervous!
Butting in here. We moved DD to a toddler bed in December right before she turned 2 and the transition went great! There were zero issues moving her and she stays in her bed all night. She actually treats it like a crib and will not get out of it in the morning - she calls for us and we get her. It's perfect.
I'm probably a lucky one and going to enjoy it while she lasts. Good luck with your transition! I was really nervous but didn't need to be!
Thanks mrsw062610! A is just over a year and a half but the pedi recommended we do it sooner rather than later. He's super tall and climbs a ton and she said he's probably going to be climbing out well before he's 2.

He turns 2 in a month. He did really well last night! We cuddled to sleep (our normal method) and he slept in his bed until 4:45 when he heard me get up to pee. After that he crawled into bed with us until 7.

gahorseygal Do you mind sharing where you find those curtains or that fabric? Those would be perfect in our nursery too.
The fabric is from fabric.com - we ordered a few different fabrics from them and it was my first time using them. They are actually part of Amazon so we got our order super fast! I was very pleased with them and the quality of the fabric is awesome.

We just did the big boy bed switch too and I was prepping myself for a month of awful misery, but it was actually so ridiculously easy. He loves his truck sheets so much, we tuck in all of his stuffed friends at night, then tuck him in, and tadaa.
He also doesn't wake up from his naps angry anymore, and doesn't cry in the mornings either.
We are moving at the end of the month, so I can't decorate yet. I've bought a couple of things that might not be available after we move, but I'm trying not to buy too much since it would be more stuff haul. We are using DS' old crib. We need a new dresser to use as a changing table, a glider w/ottoman, curtains, artwork and accessories.
Have any Pictures to AW? I can't seem to upload any pictures using any method, not even what worked yesterday for the funny memes.
I'm doing an arctic nautical theme, but very modern and not too cute/themey. There will be arctic stuffed animals and artwork, including narwhals! This rug is the color inspiration.
Need help finding decor? I would love links or suggestions to add to my pinterest board. I have a good idea of what I want to do. The room was recently painted an off white and we are not going to paint, but I may want to do a removable wall paper accent or decals. I also want to find a gold metallic mobile and lots of gold accents.
So excited we were given some $$ for more paint so H is finishing painting the ceiling and closet door right now!! Then we are asking MIL to contribute $$ to purchase the rest of the trim and baseboard. We are going to measure and quote it out tonight. We are crazy busy tomorrow but I bet he would be able to at least buy the materials tomorrow if not cut them too. FX MIL is able to help. Right now all of our shower gifts are piled in the living room so it doesn't absorb the paint fumes. I can't wait to put it in the nursery and touch all the baby things
Not a nursery update....but we did to to container store today to design and schedule the re-make of our bedroom closet with Elfa system! This is the bedroom that was, once upon a time, the nursery. I can't wait for the closet re-make so that I don't have piles of clothing.
This is the closet system I designed and MH built. I just filled the baskets and hung up the clothes this morning.. it was really fun haha.
I just had the CRAAAAZY idea to design a murphy changing table on the side wall of the closet. It could double as a laundry folding table later? It would cover just the bottom left area of hanging clothes leaving the baskets open and free to grab stuff quickly. Does this sound crazy? I'll have to run it by MH.
snoris, I think it would work, as long as you have a place for the actual diapers and wipes! LOVE the closet design! The type of door you have might dictate the murphy idea!
k3am and babycaps it's actually a sliding pocket door which I love! MH thought it was weird to have it actually in the closet. I think he put it low on the priority list in the "lets wait and see if we need it" category. We can't even afford to trim the rest of the room so an elaborate Murphy changer is laughable. A girl can dream
I was off this afternoon so I finally finished painting the trim in the nursery. It took me 2 1/2 hours including taping. I am sore but it is done! Now we can start moving the old furniture out and the new stuff in.
