Well hello there, if anyone still reads this silly old blog, I am making good on a promise I made to you finally!
As promised, uh something like 8 months ago, here is our little bird's nursery!
The bedding is an old Wendy Belissimo argyle design I got off Ebay for a steal. The sheets went with the set and I got a few extra on Ebay as well. The colors are perfect for his room, so I was quite pleased when the whole set and the extra sheets only cost me $75.oo!
I didn't have a lot of money to put into his room, the walls stayed the same color, chocolate brown, the wainscoting was already there in a crisp white, and the crib is a hammie down from his older brother complete with teeth marks along the top railing!
As I am typing this I have a sleeping sugar beat in my lap....the sound of his heavy breathing soothes my soul...but makes typing a bit of a challenge!
The only new large piece I purchased was the changing table which we also use as a dresser for his clothes...the window was given to me and the banner is from vintage maps found off Etsy.
I used a lot of old locker baskets to hold diapers, burp cloths and uh.... more diapers!
I got all 5 baskets off Ebay as well.
We re-did his closet by taking the ugly mirrored 1980's doors off and my handy pool man created a built in for all the baby's goodies! I have to say his closet looks bigger and more organized now!
However, don't ask me how long it took us to finish this closet or about my lack in judgement when I painted the wood built- ins tangerine orange while the pool man stood there watching as I painted knowing I was having a very manic pregnant moment {please tell me you all had one of these?}. After all was said and done the built- in are now white the color it should have been to begin with!
The globe is from Etsy, and the little doggie was a thrift store find...
More hammy down shirts from my punk...
And little airplanes made by a friend for my shower, I loved them so much I used painted clothes pins from Etsy to attach them to the hangers...
The dresser in the closet is vintage and holds his bedding and uh, more diapers! I got it at a local resale shoppe for a steal and painted it primer white! Yes, Primer White in the spray can!
The suitcase is from Ebay...
His room is a bit more modern and clean then how I usually decorate, which really means there isn't a whole lot of crap laying around like in the rest of my house! {she grins}
I tried to make his room have a different feel then his brothers, so they each had their own indivdual space.
The wood rocking horse is very old and was my grandmother's....
And the sea grass rug sits in front of his crib for some texture in the room...the pool man hates the feel of it on his feet, but I am smitten with sea grass!
Sweet embroidered hoop from here!
His name starts with a "G" if you hadn't figured that out yet... we now have three G's in our home! My two boys along with the dog who happens to be named Greg!
There are small touches from Etsy here and there as well, and personalized signs with his name that hang in the closet and in the jack and jill bathroom the boys will share....but my favorite piece in the whole room is his mobile!
I hope once he is sleeping in his room he will find it just as amazing as I do!
Airplanes and floating clouds...
Simple and Sweet...and all creatively made out of paper!
Mobile can be found here...
Well that is all folks, thanks for coming along for the tour!
Hope you all had a great Memorial Weekend, with lots of sunshine and celebrations...
'til we meet again, may your paths be sprinkled with happiness and your feet never bare of a good pair of flippy flops!
Cheers!
P.S. My computer is a complete piece of _____ lately, you fill in the blank, anyway, it would take me a whole day to add links to this post, so if anyone has any questions or wants to know where I got something just leave it in the comments, and I will get back to you!
P.s.s. I don't care for ironing, so please don't judge me..the bedskirt is hideously wrinkled, but it gives the room character and an imperfectness I kinda like!
ok, just had to get that out of the way! ta ta!
