I'm typing this post from our freshly decorated nursery, finding my inner peace as I relax in the glider with my feet up on the ottoman which finally (!) arrived yesterday. I honestly could not envision a more perfect retreat for our little girl that manages to be both stimulating (hello, orange wall) and soothing at the same time. You can't help but feel the calmness wash over you in this room. It is exactly the right blend of modern, whimsical and rustic and to have it 95% finished is such a huge relief at 31 weeks today. We couldn't have done it alone so a huge thanks to mom and dad for their hours of work installing curtain rods and putting up shelves and helping me cut a thousand tags off of tiny outfits.
Among my favorite features - how to choose? - are the modern spruce tree book shelf, the clean lines of the crib, the plush chevron rug that Oscar has made his new favorite lounging spot, the tree stump table with the owl lamp, the neatly organized cubbies of the the dresser, and naturally the color scheme. With the new hardwood floor and the upgraded ceiling fan, this is easily the nicest room in the house. Even the Diaper Dekor blends in seamlessly. The remaining decisions have to do with where to hang the artwork. All in all, I'd say we're just about ready for go-time so in the remaining weeks, the whole family will be able to relax in comfort knowing that it's all coming together.
Here's a preview:
