Nursery

The nursery - It's been a project!  But, we aren't done yet!  I will update this more once we get everything finished and manage to take some pictures...

This is where we started back in December-ish after I found out I was pregnant... it was the spare furniture and all kinds of junk room (Look at all that stuff!):




 We got rid of a few things, (yay, no extra box spring!) and started testing paint on the wall.  We also took down the shades, because those had to go!  I knew I wanted something neutral, and grey seemed like a great choice for a boy or a girl, and it would be easy to accent.


Next came painting - look no stuff! Recognize my weekly picture spot?


Walls are done and we did the closet and door white...


Ikea crib, I love it :)  We did have to move some furniture back in, just because for now we have nowhere to put it... the rocking chair is staying though, but probably in a different spot, I'm commissioning my dad and Scott to make a cube bench/storage area for under the window.


That's basically where we are at now, with a few additions and decorations.  More updates to come!

Mostly Done now...
