Nursery Update

 Okay with only about a month left of this pregnancy- it is time to get down to business on this nursery!  It started as just an empty unused room in our home.  I really wanted to give it a little character with built-ins and a cute window seat (something I always wanted as a little girl).  So we found a local handyman to do custom built in shelves with connected window seat that opens for storage.  I LOVE the way they turned out!

The room starting out.

Each side has about 4 shelves that can all be adjustable.

Next, it was time to put the boys to work!  Well Aaron really changed the light out, while Ian tried to be helpful, and  John supervised from the comfort of the glider.  Practicing his baby hold with the monkey in hand!

Out with the builder grade, white ceiling fan and in with the adorable golden,  with a touch of bling chandelier. 

Here are the built-ins and painted.  Next step- we are going to wallpaper the back of the shelves for an extra pop of color and pattern.  Ahh- can't wait to see that finished, then it will be time to stage the shelves.

Then, we needed to finally select a paint color.  With about 7 different options we settled on a calm color called ''sea foam'.

Here is where we are currently:  Built-ins-check, walls painted-check, light changed-check, crib put in-check, glider  delivered-check!! Progress makes me happy- I can start to picture this as an actual nursery- and filling it with a little precious girl!!!

 Now even after all the progress, my to do list is still rather long...

Need to finish the picture gallery for above the changing table

I am excited to get the dresser delivered and change out the basic knobs with these cute ones!

On a side note- this little gal has quite the closet started all ready!

So as you can see, things are happening around here- slowly but surely!  We have a about 4 weeks left and hopefully all these projects will come together within that time.  I am excited to share the final product!!
