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.

nurserylamp
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.

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

nurserymobile
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!

nursery mobiledetail
Here is another detail shot of the mobile.


nurseryquilt
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...



nurseryframes
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.


nurseryteddy
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.



nurseryplate
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?


nurserypics
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.


nurseryhumptydumpty
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!


nuserybedding
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!

from dungeon to nursery PART II

Progress!


nursery progress



The demolition went good... except that we saw how much real work we are going to have... and it was a lot more than we thought.

The cabinets have been painted and I am in the progress of painting the drawers and installing the hardware.

The closet turned out awesome. The doors are off. The inside and the frame are painted and we installed some shelving.



I bought some fabric from Ikea today for some closet curtains. I (we) didn't want to go with something baby-ish and decided on this one. I LOVE IT and can't wait to see them hanging.






nursery progress
The beam/ ceiling is painted white and one coat of wall color has been applied.


nursery progress
some more drawers are waiting to be done.


There was so so much more work to do... trimming, cutting, sanding, glazing, coating, etc, etc...

It seems like every time we start a new job, five other things need to be done.

But we are getting there!

The only thing that is still missing is ELECTRICITY!

Told you it was a dungeon...
