Finished

The nursery is finished.

I must say I am quite pleased with how it turned out. It is bright and cheerful and fit for a boy without screaming, 'I'm a boys room!' (I don't hear any screaming at least) :)

Here are some other pictures:

Rocking Chair, with blanket crocheted by yours truly.

I also have some of my prints on the wall. The deer pillow comes from Olive's Etsy shop, while the brown dog is a long dog kit from June Craft's etsy shop.

The crib adorned in a hand made quilt by my mom (owner of Pine Hill Forest). Don't you think she should offer up some of these beautiful quilts for sale? I am in love with them!

Close up of the quilt:

Now all we need is the little boy to make his appearance so we can put him in there!

A long long while ago I mentioned that I had decided to knit a mobile for our son's nursery. At the time this seemed like a really creative, inexpensive, and cute idea. Well, it was mostly all of the above (just a serious pain to assemble!) and I finally got put up in his room. What do you think!?

I love the bright happy colors and hope he will too. :)

You can find the pattern here, should you like to knit one of your own!

Nursery Update

Well now that we know it's a boy I decided to add a few boy touches to a room that was looking, frankly, a bit girly.

I hunted all over etsy, and so far this is what we've got:

1. The Hirsute Hedgehog and The Happy Bear prints by John W Golden

2. Another beautiful quilt by my mom, of Pine Hill Forest

3. Cute Deer Pillow by Olive

4. Do it yourself Long Dog in brown by June Craft

5. Helicopter Decals by janeymacpress

6. Not an Etsy purchase, but couldn't resist showing the crochet blanket I made for the room once more!

Well that is what we have so far folks! Not up yet, but will be as soon as I decide where to put them are a retro weiner dog print in orange by June Craft and a light blue hippo print by yours truly!

Jumping The Gun

(dresser/future changing table)

Is 12.5 weeks too early to be doing any sort of nursery decorating?

I sort of couldn't help myself after my parents dropped off the dresser. We even attempted to buy a crib, but it was out of stock in the store AND online. It's going to take over 10 weeks to get so I suppose it was a good thing we attempted to get that early. Once it comes in I'll take more detailed photos of the room.

Things you can't see:

Beautiful handmade quilts made by my mom.

A little white table and rocking chair.

A standing lamp which is essentially a large version of the little yellow lamp on the dresser.

A super cute pillow from Olive, and a cute Long Dog (which was sewn up by my mom) from JuneCraft.

Yeah...I'm just a little excited about the arrival of this baby. : )
