The Big Nursery Post

Well, it's finally done! I'm posting a zillion pictures - hope you enjoy! A lot of the things in the room are DIY projects - I will do another post with all the details on those projects. I'd love to know what you think :)

Walking into the room

Changing table (a.k.a. our old dresser). I made the mobile, the changing pad cover, and the lampshade.

Our old couch - the price was right! I made the pillows, curtains, and the birdhouse lamp (Kyle helped). Quilt on back of the couch is handmade by my friend Steph!

Detail of the prints - all 3 are from etsy.

I made the sunshine print, and had it printed at our campus copy shop for 54 cents. When we were arriving at  the 20-week appointment when we found out she is a girl, "My Girl" came on the radio as we were pulling into the parking lot. 

I made this basket. Check out the purple Converse!

Birds in the window - from London!

Mobile above the crib

This is hilarious: that thing attached to the corner of the crib is a video monitor that Casey and Justin lent us. I went into the nursery one day and found the owl sitting there just like this. I think Kyle had been practicing . . . 

That's about it! I'll do another post about all the DIY projects. It has been so much fun putting everything together. There's only one more thing that will go in the room (well, besides a baby): Her name will go above the sofa after she's born. I'm really happy with how everything turns out, and our kid will have no problems being stimulated with colors!
