Show me the state of your nursery

[hurricanerek]

I'm attempting to liven the board up, and since some of us mentioned the nursery or lack thereof in the weekly check in, show us what you're working with!

I'll go first and admit that I haven't even started yet. Step 1 is to disassemble the bunk beds and transport them to my parents for storage. This is going to be a process. I also need to find a new spot for my crochet stuff.

Thanks for starting this fun thread hurricanerek!

I don't have a photo to share but we literally have a blank room. Nothing has been touched in this room since we bought the house almost 3 years ago. A bad light blue paint job, crown molding that needs spackle and cheap tan uneven curtains. We find out the gender in TWO days and then we are diving in!

Lololololol my nursery won't happen until the baby is around 3 months old unless we get a Murphy bed for the office. MIL will be coming to help with DS around the time of the birth and I think she's planning on staying for about a month. So she will need a room. The new baby will move to DS's room and he will get the guest room. Unless for some reason we don't feel he's ready to move to a toddler bed.

So I guess our nursery situation is either already done or far far away ha ha

Here's the nursery. It's my current office and I work from home. Eventually I'll move my setup downstairs to the great room so I can begin on the nursery. Perhaps once we know what we're having...

[LadyNymeria]

I'll have to take a picture when I go home for lunch but right now it's an office that doesn't get used and it's a disaster. I was studying for the CPA exam when we moved into the house so I used the office daily at the beginning, but it hasn't been used as an office since I passed. There's stuff piled all over the floor, including the pile of unfinished wood flooring that will eventually be the floor in the nursery.

No picture here because we are moving in a few weeks into a new house. So the good news is we will have a fresh slate because the current room that would be our nursery is filled with boxes of stuff that we never found a place for.

Due to a combination of all of our previous losses and DH's Jewish traditions, we won't be setting up the nursery until later this summer. I started a Pinterest board and one of my besties is an interior designer so I know it will be beautiful! I did sneak and buy rainbow crib sheets from pottery barn since this baby is our "rainbow baby" I just couldn't resist!!!

[olive]

This weekend we emptied our office/junk room. My DH's boss is giving us his sons crib that they barley used today for 25 bucks! Couldn't pass up a deal like that! We might even set it up tonight because we are excited to have the empty room and crib. We are painting it a mint green.

Also, new screen name. hurricanerek can confirm for me. Had some issues with being stalked by a family members on here and needed to change for my privacy.

[thekatezombie]

ZombieBaby will be rooming with ZombieBoy whenever he/she stops sleeping in our room. I'm not taking a picture right now because it's a terrible disorganized mess. Before and afters will happen later when I redecorate. I'm kind of convinced ZombieBaby is a girl, so I've tentatively decided on a generic fantasy theme because I think it works well for a shared boy/girl room. No specific characters/movies, just Knights, dragons, castles, princesses, unicorns, etc.

Well that's shitty of them. Would you like to be in the Roster at all? You could always just do screen name, due date, and/or team if you'd like to leave it pretty basic and unidentifying.

Ummmmm, excuse me? That is so incredibly creepy. Glad you figured it out. 

[cassey910]

Ours is a playroom right now and yes that is a 6 foot Mickey Mouse lol

[caz1221]

No photos, but the future nursery is currently the office/guest bedroom/room where the dog hangs out while we're at work. We are in the middle of painting the entire house (interior), so we haven't done much in terms of nursery preparation except buy the crib bedding set (so the new paint color can coordinate with it). We did disassemble the desk and put it in storage (desk chair to follow this weekend), but we aren't planning to store the bed for several more months, as it is the only place for overnight visitors to sleep. We will be moving DD's crib and dresser/changer into the nursery and getting DD a big girl bed with matching dresser, but she is very content in her crib right now, so it's possible #2 will be sleeping in the PNP until DD is ready to give up the crib. I'm not going to complain about having them both fully contained overnight!

[singingsea]

Our spare bedroom.



The crib and glider are already chilling in there. Keeping the bed too for a while. I plan on crashing there a lot since I'm planning to nurse. We're going to paint the walls a light green.

[LadyNymeria]

Yup, totally forgot to take a picture while I was home for lunch. I'll try to remember later.

[cbowl]

cassey910 my LO would absolutely go nuts with excitement if we had that 6 foot mickey in our house. She is obsessed.

[hurricanerek]

cassey910, that mickey is impressive!

[serendipity731]

The boys will share but I'll have new baby in with us for at least 6 mos. don't mind the messy desk, those are DS's clothes that he's grown out of that I haven't put away yet. I plan to move the desk to the garage and put the white crib there and new baby will use it. I'll put DS's new crib where the white one is now. I may switch them later but that's the plan for now. I still need to hang pics/decorate more and get new cushions for the glider.

DH always brings all the kids to see it when they are over. It's always a hit. Our DS loves it too he just gave it hugs today.

[lexisophie55]

Our nursery is complete....the issue is....we have a baby in it already. EEEEKKKK!!

We just need to transition DS2 into DS1's room and then we are good to go. I even left clothes in there. Nice that I don't have to put them away I guess. We might put DS3 into a playpen until DS2 can be trusted in a big boy bed.

[theotherjacobsons]

The plan is to move DD's room into the office and then convert the craft room into an office/guest room. There are a lot of challenges here. First, the office is basically just accumulating baby stuff and laundry for DD. Second, the craft room never was utilized. It turned into a bunch of random projects and then a place to put all the holiday stuff and finally just a place for random stuff. I have to clear out that room before I can move the office. It's going to be a massive undertaking, but at least the weather is nice and we can have a yard sale.

DD's nursery


The office


The crap room

[fem]

Currently it's my husband's messy office. It's a pretty small room but I love the corner windows.

[merryrissmas]

Currently a rarely-used, somewhat dusty guest room. It was the nursery when DS1 was a baby so now we need to switch everything back...we've got some work to do, haha. I love the yellow walls (yellow is my favorite color and perfect for a baby's room!)

[pismoduo]

Ours is mostly blank. There's a mattress on the floor (the guest bed frame broke and we never bothered to replace it), two bookshelves and an electric fireplace on one wall. We'll have to take the fireplace down, but we're also looking at having to put at least one of our current bookshelves in there when we get larger desks for the office. So, we'll see.

Sorry for being a moron, but what was the old SN? Can you post it with periods or PM me? I'm trying to meet all the Ladies on here and I'm already getting people confused.

I'll pm you. If I post with a period they will still be able to see it if they decide to stalk me again.
