Nursery: FINAL!

37 weeks, 5 days

It seems like I'm always saying that things are not complete and this is no exception. I guess that's life, huh? BUT, I'm calling it complete because really it's about as close as it's gonna get.

For a refresher, we have the before & after prior to furniture and decor.




This was the room that we painted, cleaned and moved in first. It was partly because all the pieces were taking up space and completely unusable in our old place but also because I needed to have it done and ready just in case. I would have slept on a mattress on the floor for weeks, but if this kid came and didn't have an organized closet or dresser, the world would have imploded. I admit to the craziness, no question there. I did feel a little bad (just a little), however, when Joe was disassembling all the pieces that I had forced him to assemble a mere weeks prior.

Instead of me rambling more, I'll just get to the pictures.


The glider we ordered wasn't supposed to arrive until the week before my due date but luckily, it arrived the same week that we were moving.


The swing is not staying here (it will go in the family room once he arrives) but for now, it's out of the way.


I decided pretty early on to not get an actual bedding set. Two reasons: 1. Those things are damn expensive and 2. we wouldn't use half the pieces. The comforter could possibly be used with a toddler bed in the future but we all know, I would get sick of it before that time came. Bumpers are a no-no due to the increased risk of SIDS so it just wasn't worth it to get a full set for the sheet and crib skirt.






As you can see, one of my last To-Do's is to sew up the curtains...but you get the idea.


The dresser is already pretty well full. The very last item to purchase for the room is a bin to go next to the changing pad to hold diapers and wipes and things.








Now all that's missing is the little dude. I can't wait to see him in here!
