Nursery Progress. Dos.

This past weekend we spent some time getting the nursery together.  I assembled the crib with a little help from Jake and got my crib skirt, sheet, and breathable bumper (good lord that was a difficult little bugger to get installed!!) all put on it.

The crib and mattress were both shower gifts from Liam's wonderful Granny (Jake's mom.)

Jake (an expert at piecing together all things IKEA, I swear) assembled little man's "changing table" which is actually an IKEA Expedit bookcase with a changing pad attached to the top.  My plan was to buy as much versatile stuff for his nursery as possible so it's able to be used even after he's older

We also bought a yellow Lack side table from IKEA to go beside our glider/chair/recliner that I have yet to pick out.



That's it for now, but we'll be taking/posting more pics once it's completed!

Also, a bonus: belly pic!

35 Weeks on the nose...

Our nursery is officially painted!

I'm a few days late in posting this, I apologize! We finally got little Liam's nursery painted this past weekend! It turned out beautifully. I initially wanted to paint the top half of the walls aqua, the molding around the middle of it white, and the bottom pale grey, but after painting a small section of the wall the aqua I had chosen, I hated it! The grey was gorgeous, though, so that was a keeper. I remembered we had some pale yellow paint left over from our old place, and it was perfect!

I've finally decided on the wall colors for the nursery.  The colors in the nursery are going to be light yellow, light grey, and aqua.  Here's the current room:

Initially I was planning to paint the top half aqua, the middle molding white and the bottom light grey, but I had such a difficult time finding a shade of aqua I liked, so I decided to paint the top light yellow instead.  I wanted to see how it'd look but didn't have time to paint the entire room, so I just painted that spot in between the closets in the first picture.   Here is how it turned out:

In the photo you can't really tell the top is yellow, but I promise, it is!!  I also bought some fabric from tonicliving.com, I ordered it Thursday, so I'm hoping I'll get it by the end of this week, even though it is being shipped from Canada.  I'm still up in the air about whether or not I'm going to actually use the first print, but it was all only $1 per swatch and a $2 swatch surcharge, so the total was $6, and then I found a 10% off code, so it cost me $5.40, shipping was free!  Anyways, here's what I'm getting.

I still haven't quite decided what I want to do with them.  I'm thinking either framing them in white with cream mats or using embroidery hoops and hanging them like that.  What do you think?
