Baby's Nursery :-)

Since I'm hoping to someday get around to printing this blog into a book, I wanted to post some pictures of the nursery. I had such a fun time picking everything out and putting it together, and I love how it turned out! 

Originally, I had planned to put the old white book shelf (that my grandma made and was in Brett's nursery) against this wall, but quickly realized the room was just too small to have another piece of furniture.  So instead, I found this awesome antique looking hanging shelf at World Market. It takes up just enough space on the wall, and is perfect for displaying books and little woodland animals :-)

I chose Beatrix Potter/Woodland animals as the theme, and had fun picking out these pictures for above the changing table that fit. The first thing I bought was the Beatrix Potter alphabet print from Etsy, and then I added to that. The squirrel picture on the left started out as a small page in a book from when I was little, and then I took it in to Staples and they blew it up for only a couple bucks! The ABC picture on the right and "baby asleep' sign on top are from my dear friend Zuzana. She made the sign when her kids were babies to place on the front door during nap time, and I loved it so much she loaned it to me for our baby :-) And lastly,my mom made the cross stitch little bunny for my nursery years ago. I love how this is a little collection of old, new, and borrowed :-)

We ended up having to put the crib against the window because it was the only place that it fit without looking awkward and taking up the whole room! I'm not too worried about the draft because this is the warmest room in the house....plus, we can cover the window with curtains and even plastic if we need to. And thank goodness for sleep sacks!

Another view :-) Eventually, I'll probably add something to the blank wall on the right :-)

One of my favorite parts of the nursery is the hedgehog mobile hanging above the crib :-) Love it!

I still want to add a valence or curtains to the window, as well as a lamp in the back right corner....but other than that, it's done and ready for Baby Bingham #2 to arrive! I'll be 37 weeks on Saturday, and Brett came at 38, so I'm hoping it won't be long before I get to hold my sweet baby boy in my arms :-) Oh, I just can't wait!!!
