from dungeon to nursery Part IV

I have been working on getting the last minute details together. Here are a few pictures... still tons more to come, but I thought I give you a little taste on how things are going.


Scot bought me this lamp at a Garage Sale and I think it goes perfectly in the room... it gives a real nice glow and sits on my breastfeeding nightstand. The little chain next to it was a present from a great friend.


here is a close up shot of this chain... it suppose to bring good luck and keep evil spirits away!


This is my favorite present from Scot ever... a handmade, wooden German mobile. He found it again at a Garage Sale and bought it for only $5. What a great find!


Here is another detail shot of the mobile.



This quilt Scot's grandmother made for him when he was a baby... it is now hanging over the crib and we will later use it as a playmat. I love the details of it. In the background you see the mobile again and a few framed art projects...




Here are these art projects Jakey and I made... he finger painted them and I used a template (which I found here) to cut them out and frame them. The frames are from Ikea... and this whole project was under $5.



This little guy I found at a bookstore... probably THE softest elephant I have ever felt... what totally sold me was that his tag reads "I am a bashful elephant"... Jakey & I named him Olli.




This is my birth announcement plate. I have been looking for a good place to hang it and the nursery is just the perfect spot. If you look closely you can see the time, date and how much I weighed when I was born. Need, huh?



These are from the Martha Stewart Craft Collection at Walmart. Jake, Scot and I as small children. Very inexpensive and a cute little personal touch to the nursery.



As a child I loved Humpty Dumpty and you know I had to put this up when I found this in a box of vintage toys Scot had in the basement!



Crib skirt and sheet are both handmade and I bought them for $2 at a local rummage sale. Gotta love a deal!!!

More pictures to come... Next up will be the closet, which is now packed with baby clothes!
