Nursery in progress part 2

There are few things better in life than having smart and organized women take over for a weekend.

Before Janet's cousin and niece arrived our nursery looked like this:



We would walk in and just stare because we didn't even know where to start.  We had been given so many awesome things by our coworkers- but where do you start organizing?

They got us rolling some basic organizational tips like- lets get all the clothes out of the bags and stack by size, lets group towels and bath stuff here, etc.

By the time they left, everything had a place and even pictures were up.

All we need now is a lamp for the rocker, floating shelfs behind the rocker, floating shelves to the left of the changer, and diaper pails.  We not sure if we are going to leave the bean bag chair in, but if we don't, we have an empty corner.

Nursery in Progress

So we've finally relieved Andrew's room of its previous toilet yellow coloring.  The fresh white walls should do well with the bright art we have in stock.  We're still trying to decide what color to paint the "accent wall".

So, what we have now:


Ikea dresser turned changing table:


Now I'm waiting for these to get here:


Other things we need to do include:
  • Finalize accent wall paint color (some form of green)
  • Get the curtains shortened- we're having about 2 feet taken out of the white part.

  • Put up art/prints
  • Find a mobile- seriously- I never thought mobile finding would be this hard.  If you've seen fabulous and bright mobiles, or black and white mobiles- send me links!!!
  • Find an ottoman- also much harder than I thought- small room means small but functional ottoman.  So far, this one is at the top of the list, primarily just because we haven't found anything else that size.
