So it's only taken me 2 months to get this post together. We started working on Austin's nursery in January. It still needs a few pictures of him on the wall, but otherwise it is complete. I failed to get a "Before" picture, but here are pictures of just after the "Before" to "After."
Painted! We did not think we would paint it blue, but it matched the bedding so well, we went with it.
First piece of furniture, the dresser
After the St. Louis baby shower
Another piece of furniture, kept from the guest room
Trying to decide: valance only, or valance and curtains?
The crib is assembled! Thank you Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Eric!!
Waiting for a mattress.
Done! (except for the gliding chair) As you can see, we went with valance AND curtain.
Thank you to Grandma Cindy and Aunt Emily for helping Mommy and Daddy put the final touches in the room. That shelf above the dresser was nearly the death of Grandma and I!
Toy bench filled with books and toys, waiting to be read and played with.
A rainbow of cloth diapers waiting to be worn, and a dresser/changing table waiting to be used.
Crib, waiting for a handsome little baby to sleep in it.
The glider is here! Thank you Grandma Ruth and Grandpa John!
We didn't have to wait long after the room was finished to use it. Austin arrived on Grandma Cindy's last full day in town, just 1 day after we finished the room. (Well, except for the shelf above the dresser, Mommy and Daddy had to put that one up after Mommy and Grandma FINALLY figured out how to hang it. Stupid cinder block walls!)
Austin enjoys spending time rocking in the glider and playing on his play mat.
He's now sleeping in his room too!!
