Now that the crib is ordered and a new month has arrived, I'm getting super excited about planning the nursery. Right now the second bedroom is a storage unit for everything we didn't feel like dealing with after the big move in July, BUT rest assured, this baby is going to have an awesome set up. Mom bought a changing table from a garage sale in her neighborhood a couple months ago, so I'm thinking after a little sanding and a fresh coat of paint, it will be good as new! I decided that I definitely want to go with a tall chest of drawers as opposed to a long dresser, and I want it to be a fixer-upper. After seeing a pine chest with 5 drawers at Ikea for $99, it looked like the perfect choice! But that project is probably weeks away with everything else we need to get done first. I can't wait :)
As for the set up of the nursery, I made a layout to give an idea of what's ahead:
Now there is NOT that much extra space in the middle of the room, and the extra long wall next to the closet is miniscule in comparison, but I did the best I could with the Pages software on my Mac. I'm still crossing my fingers that everything will fit this way!
Matt and I went to Home Depot this morning to look for the "perfect shade of gray" and found our match! It is called Silver Sateen by Behr:
This shows a bit darker than the sample we got today, but it gives you at least an idea of what it will be like! I can't imagine the day I will be putting up photos of the nursery completed, it feels like an eternity away. This weekend we (hopefully) have big plans for the nursery, and getting this mama some fat jeans (outlet shopping, anyone?).
