Baby Room Show

[catherineoctober]

When my Mom was here We worked on Jane's room. I've also gotten some decals of aspen and put them up, but don't have the pics of those. It was so much fun and I'm so glad I got it done earlier because I thought my back hurt then! I was around 20 weeks.

Cute! I need to get the nursery in a little better shape before I share....

[mrsp121308]

I've got a few things to finish up (her mobile) and a picture to hang still, and my friend that made the curtains made the valance to narrow so she's making a new one for me, but otherwise all done!

[Winnifred]

catherineoctober & mrsp121308, your nurseries are looking awesome!

We still need to figure out where to hang pictures in her room and have made zero headway on that over the last month. Otherwise, I'm supposed to put blackout material on the curtains and make a crib skirt this weekend with my mom. I am so tired this week that I really can't imagine doing those things, though. Boooooo....

[hmr11913]

I'm so jealous your rooms are done! We're hoping to make some headway on it over the next week or two... DH has been busy trying to finish siding our house before it gets too cold, and staining all the trim for the interior.

mrsp121308, That is so cute! I love the colors with the dark wood.

Winnifred, I totally understand not feeling like doing it. I have GOT to finish the cross stitch blanket this weekend and all I have left is the bordering of the stitches, but NO MOTIVATION whatsoever. I just want to lay down all the time because that's the only place I can find a comfortable spot the last couple of days.

I have to admit, our nursery was done WAY too early. I think it was my way of saying this baby is going to be here (because we lost our last one) But now I'm just happy it's there and I'm just gathering things for her.

We still have a lot to do, and we need to get the rocker. I'm also waiting to get the rest of our stuff from this weekend's shower before we unpack. But my dad did finish the mural! Everything else will be neutrals. Excuse all of the crap in the crib please.

[achromia]

lola, I love the mural! It looks amazing.

Our kiddo's room isn't quite ready to share yet either, but I have high hopes to get it done in the next two weeks before the housewarming/shower we're having at my house. The room is painted and the furniture is all there at least, but we've got to hang curtains and artwork and put up a bunch of floor-to-ceiling tree decals, and I'd love to get the bathroom that's attached done up too. So many little projects!

[lola]

achromia Thank you!

[requiressnacks]

lola, love that! I'm so jealous of your high ceilings.

[Deleted]

lola, that mural is amazing. I'm so jealous of people with artistic talent. I can barely do stick figures!

[lola]

requiressnacks! Thanks! The tall ceilings help the room feel not so tiny.

@cahistoryteacher Thank you! I know, right!? Why didn't I get those artistic genes?

[legalbeagle]

Yay loving the nurseries!

Wallpaper should be done sometime next week. Lots of accessories ordered and then my friend is going to hang/install things right before Thanksgiving so I'll post pictures then.

[Winnifred]

OK, we've finally made some progress in the nursery! I still need to add a couple of items to the walls, and better organize how we're going to be using the cube storage, but otherwise.... I think we may be done!

Winnifred , OMG you did such a good job on the DRAPES!!! I love them. I remember you mentioning getting them made or I should say making them! I am sending out the fabric this week for LO crib bumpers and such.


I haven't really done so much cause we are waiting for DDs room construction to finish. But I can post a pic of the dresser painted when I get home. It is such a pretty cobalt blue. I am super excited about it. I just have to order another cover for the rocker chair and paint the wardrobe (my DH). All other lil stuff I have to order I will closer to the time we know we are moving DD.

[legalbeagle]

Winnifred, so super cute!! Seconding WineNChocolate, drapes especially are amazing!

[Winnifred]

Aww thank you WineNChocolate and legalbeagle! I didn't actually make them, I just painted the glittery champagne/gold circles on them. I'm still waiting on my mom to visit and we'll add the blackout backing and grommets then.

We really didn't want her room to be super girly but it ended up that way! Oh well, I love it.

[littlelion]

Winnifred very lovely! What are those balls on the cube storage?

[Winnifred]

Thanks, littlelion ! They are felt balls on a string that's maybe 5 feet long. I'm still trying to figure out the best place to put them. I may hang them on the wall above the closet doors (not pictured). I love them, but just not sure where they fit!

They look like this when displayed.

[lola]

Winnifred, I don't think it's super girly! It's feminine but not over the top. And definitely a room she can grow with!

[lastnamewithheld]

I love all these nurseries!! You all are so creative! Here's Tommy's room:



Kitty photobomb.



Bookcase, nightlight, sound machine. Those fabric totes are filled with misc things and little toys.



Changing station (still might take off the mirror off if I can't get it AND the changing pad secured to my liking. I've got my NB disposables and all the misc stuff that we can use with disposables.



Last but not least, my cloth stash for when he's big enough to fit into them and/or his circ is healed up and we don't need Vaseline.

I hope these aren't huge! Sorry if they are--it didn't give me size options! :-p happy Sunday!

I keep thinking about prepping diapers too, then I forget when I'm actually doing laundry.

Thank you! I don't know how long this stuff will stay organized once he's here and I'm actually using the stuff! but for now, everything is so neat and tidy! LOL. I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts!!

I started prepping mine over the summer over two weekends. I did a load of everything (pockets, prefolds, inserts) hung them out to dry and did the rest of my laundry. Then I washed the prefolds and inserts again, hung them out again, and then brought everything in, then repeated it again the next weekend. I figured I would not feel like doing it now (TRUE) so I'm glad I did.

We finished up Amelia's room this weekend.  I'm calling it Amelia and Ava's room, we put our daughter's bed in there with some of her stuffed animals so she can always watch over her little sister.

Next on my list is sorting and washing the clothes. I may save some of the bigger sizes for later.

mommytoava What a lovely way to include Ava in the nursery. So sweet.
