Derek commented a few days about that the nursery isn’t very nursery-ish. The bright colors, the black…I suppose he is right. But they are only little for a bit, and I guess I was just in the mood for bright and fun when I planned this out! I can’t wait to see it all put together with bedding and everything!

From the doorway, looking into the room.

From the corner where the window is. It’s the junk corner right now, so no pictures yet.

I saw these in a catalog and loved them! But not for $40 each. I spent $10 on the two canvases, and I love how they turned out.

I hung the fabric swatches up just so I could remember there would be other colors besides pink in the room.

I got crafty with the lamp shade. A little ribbon and hot glue, and voila! Cute, coordinating lamp shade! The shelves are a work in progress.

The dresser will double as a changing table once I get one of those contoured pads. I’ve got a few ideas for pictures and wall decorations for the two walls in this picture.

So that’s it so far!  Despite the cankles and the aching feet, it really is fun to decorate a nursery.
