Our little girl's nursery

Finally, our nursery is almost finished. (With a lot of help from all of you in the form of baby shower gifts).

The transformation of this room from a spare room/study/music room into a nursery has been an interesting process. Earlier in the pregnancy many tears were shed over the lack of space for our baby. However, some months later, it appears that Dave was correct when he said we would manage to empty the room. Items that left the room (some also left our house) include a desk, computer, piano keyboard, bedside table, a closet full of junk, 3 bookshelves (tall ones!), a filing cabinet, a large electric guitar speaker cabinet, and a hideous desk chair (Dave interjection: It really wasn't so bad). Needless to say, we are delighted to be able to show you these pictures of the transformed room. We didn't include before pictures because they are so frightening (and we couldn't seem to find them).

Some key elements you see below include the pictures on the wall that Dave made (printed on canvas and attached to wood backing). We were also especially pleased with our changing table. It happens to be the one that matches our crib, and we miraculously found it on Craigslist! This nursery has a distinct tendency towards pink, so if this little girl comes out a boy, he'll have an interesting formative environment.

Here is a picture of the beautiful pink pooh quilt that is hanging on the nursery wall next to the crib.

We decided to keep our single guest bed in the room, even though it is now a nursery. The diaper bag you see hanging on the rocker is packed!

Here you can see the piglet rug on the floor, as well as the cute cubes we are using as a mini bookshelf. We really enjoy going into the nursery and dreaming about our little girl being in there.


This final picture is of her closet and the beautiful hair bows that were made for her and given to us by Lisa, Lauren's sister. The hair bows are clipped to a decorative ribbon to display while they are not clipped in her hair (on the wall). In the closet, we organized the clothes according to age group in plastic boxes. We received a lot of clothes from a couple friends who have had little girls, and then we also received clothes from friends and family as gifts, so our little girl will be beautifully dressed.
