Baby Girl's Nursery

Little Sweet Cheeks is now eight months old.  EIGHT MONTHS!  Where has the time gone?  She has gone from a calm, somewhat quiet baby... to full out personality plus!  In just a month and a half she has starting sitting up unassisted, crawling and pulling up in her crib to a standing position.

I told my husband we will be handing her our car keys tomorrow.  WAHHHH

It's going by way too fast. 

She is such a little blessing and it is so fun to watch her learn and grow like a weed.  Big brother adores her and she loves to interact with him.  It will be fun to see how these two act together throughout the years.  I'm sure she will learn tons from him.... the good, the bad and the dirty/ugly/smelly!  HA

Since Lydia was born, we've had to continue with some finishing touches, but nothing major.  There are still some things I would like to do in the nursery as far as decorating... and I'll continue to let that trickle in here and there.  

Here is what it looks like today...

 

 

World's most comfortable recliner/glider... with the world's ugliest fabric.  It will be getting reupholstered!

 

 POM POM's!!

Pottery Barn Kids finials, curtain rods and black out curtains (a MUST for baby!).

An old side table that has been sanded and re-painted.

 

One of the original fixtures in the house.... repaired and painted.

Decoupaged wooden letters.

 Footprints for my baby girl's first year.

Nursery Work

Last year,  while pregnant, we worked on the bedroom that would be the nursery.  We were really down to crunch time and had to work every weekend.  Weekends of the flu hitting our house and the holidays continued to set us back.  We did finish in time though and it was a huge relief. 

Here are some photos of what the nursery looked like before we started the project.

 

We went from the horrible paint color, chipping paint, old windows, nasty closet with old shelving....

To freshly refinished trim throughout the room, repaired walls, new windows, repaired closet with new shelving, and thank goodness.... some new paint on walls and ceiling. 

Stay tuned for the finished room photos!
