This past weekend Rob was hunting up north.
I wanted to surprise him with a completed nursery when he got home!
Here are the results (Just note: I personally don't think the pictures do it justice, I think it looks so much better in person, but here you go)...
This is the look when you walk in the nursery.
The first thing you see is the changing table that I put together by myself (can't you tell I am a little proud).
I am so happy that it is actually still standing and safe for our baby.
Here is the quilt that came with the crib set that we had picked out.
I decided to use it as a wall hanging because we can't really use it in the crib.
Here is the crib that my Mom, and sisters Neala and Andrea bought for us!
We absolutely LOVE the crib. It looks so good in the nursery.
These are some framed art that I put together to match the rest of the room. These came from the bumper pads from the crib set. I didn't want to use the bumper pads because of some incidents that have occured from the use of them, but I knew that I could come up with something to use them for. (See picture at end of post for picture of original bumper pads).
Here is a close-up of the other two pieces of art that came from the bumper pads. The monkey one is my favorite!
Here is a rocker that my Mom has had for a long time that she brought up for us to use.
The blanket on the back is made by my cousins Bridget and Bethann. It really means a lot to me because they made it to honor my Dad. Before he passed away I told him to send me yellow butterflies and I would know that he is around me. Having this in the baby's room reminds me that he will always be watching over and protecting her. I absolutely love it!
These are the original bumper pads that I used for the framed art. The monkey one is already split from the lion one. It took me a long time to actually get up the nerve to cut it apart, but I am so glad that I did.
When Rob came home he was pleasantly surprised and happy with all I had accomplished.
