Nursery Projects

It recently hit me that I have less than three months until the baby will be here... yikes! What about all the DIY projects I had planned for the nursery!? Well I got my butt in gear today and I'm almost done with the two biggest decor items. Here's a sneak peek at the chalkboard and scrap wood sign.

Nursery Progress

I've been busy, busy with the nursery decorating lately. Last weekend, I painted in there, and this week that furniture was delivered. Here are some pictures of the progress.

With the crib and changing table set up:



As you can see, Diesel has a new favorite spot to lay. As soon as I rolled out that rug he laid down.

This weekend, I got a small side table to sit next to the glider and hung the curtains. My mom is coming for a quick visit next weekend and will be delivering the glider. It still needs new covers on the cushions, but all of the furniture will be in place! Next up, shelves and other wall décor.

Nursery decor plans

When I first found out I was pregnant, I started seeing "Woodland Nursery" themes on pinterest. I got Jake on board right away with the theme and started saving ideas. Jake seems to think woodland means hunting...no...it means forest animals...like foxes and owls and deer...cute ones not dead mounted ones.

The room that will be the nursery has hardwood floors, so it really needs a big room size rug. Before Jake left for his deployment, he bought a great outdoorsy rug at Shopko. As you will see in the collage, it has maroon, brown, and tan, so that set my color scheme for me. I think I will go with tan paint on the walls.

I find out the gender on May 8th, so after that I'll know if I need to make it a bit more masculine or feminine. I think it can go either way.

Here's my current vision:

 

This weekend I found this cute box sign, so now I think I'll need to incorporate a little of the sage green color.
