Nursery- part 1

I have been working on the nursery, trying to figure out the color scheme, what furniture we need and how to keep the tiny room organized.  My head hurts from all the thinking and list writing, but I finally have a plan and have started working on the room.  It has been fun getting everything together but there is still a lot to be done.  Here is what I have so far.

This is the book shelf that used to attach to Lee's desk.  I turned it on its side and added wheels.  It will be the changing table and dresser, the room is VERY tiny so we can't have both.

The bins are for her clothes, diapers, swaddlers, etc.
Can you see her tiny shoes in the green box to the left??  so cute:)

This is her crib, not the bedding.

 These are the fabrics for the crib sheets. 


I had family photos printed that I will hang above the changing table but will do that after I paint.  I still need a few more pictures but here is a preview.
Her picture will go in the middle white frame that I have yet to paint, may leave it white.  And the cutest pictures of all that will hang on either side of her.....
Are we ADORABLE or what:)???


I still have to decide on a chair for the room.  Since we are most likely moving in a year and I want to purge most of our furniture when we leave I am hesitant to buy a new rocking chair.  We have a small windsor rocking chair that would work for now but it's not the most comfy for night time feedings.  I may just use one of our wing back chairs.  My mom is coming in February to help accomplish my list below. 
 I will post Nursery part 2 after her visit. 

Still on the to do list:
  1. replace carpet
  2. buy a new ceiling light
  3. paint the walls
  4. hang family pictures and art
(click on the word art to see what I got for Christmas.  Designed and printed by our friend Micah at The Old Try.)

Walk through

We finally added trim to the walk through that divides the kitchen and dining area.  Its also known as the wall I spent hours stenciling.  It looked terrible for so long because the corners were not sealed and you could see the rough dry wall edges.  So here is a before and the afters. 
Nasty Corners

Beautiful Trim!


It is amazing what a little white trim, finishing nails and caulk will do.  Lee had to take the caulk away from me because I couldn't stop.
