i went with sort of a woodland animal theme, and my sweet emma spotted these little animals at Michaels and had to have them for the new baby...
i hung a cross that my aunt charlotte gave me as a housewarming gift last year...
and, here's a peek inside...
the walls are palladium blue by benjamin moore. they actually appear a little more aqua in person, which is what i was going for....
inside the crib, i kept pretty simple. the quilt was mine when i was a baby :)
i had the bird mobile from carson's baby room. he gladly gave it up for the new baby, with the promise of an airplane hanging from his ceiling instead...one day :) i made the buntings and plan to make an additional bunting with the baby's name on it. if it's a girl, i want to use some lace, and if it's a boy, i think i'll go with burlap.
the crib was our original crib, but completely beat up by four moves, so i painted it. i think it was color matched at benjamin moore to real red from sherwin williams.
next to the bed is a dresser i found in someone's trash pile. just go ahead and call me a dumpster diver... :)
the shelves above the dresser are photo ledges from ikea, and the books were all emma and carson's. they agreed to share...
the owl bookend was from rob's grandmother and papa's house. they've both passed away in the past year. emma found the little yellow bird at tj maxx for three bucks. yellow is her favorite color, so she picked him out too. the bunny was made by emma & carson at build a bear for the new baby, and mortimer the frog was mine...love him.
this little bunny was mine...i added some gingham ribbon.
and the blocks. one of our favorite toys in the house. they have been loved by two and will be loved again.
the curtain rod was in emma's old room. i painted it the same red as the crib. the curtains are 6X9 foot drop cloths from home depot. they were twelve bucks each. i have black out panels behind the curtains...those are from walmart.com. the rocking chair was a hand me down just before emma was born. it's still here :)
to the right of the nursing station is the changing table. the dresser is ikea. our changing table bit the dust after carson, so we got rid of it. we bought this instead...something that can be used again :)
carson did the abstract painting on the top left. i drew off the family of birds, and miss emma did the rest. each bird represents one of us, she even picked our favorite colors for each of them. the photo with the bird fabric will eventually be replaced with a photo of the new baby, and the rest, i either had or repurposed.
i think that's about it...all we need now is a sweet baby! i'm 39 weeks today and feeling very anxious!
