Nursery Progress

 The Nursery is pretty much done I'm just waiting on one more thing to hang and then I can do the big reveal. But before I show it in all it's glory I thought I would share the long road it took to get there.

^^ At first it was just the crib and Mr. Owl we bought for him at Ikea. 

We had to re-assemble the crib from the move and Coco Helped once again.^^  

 ^^ The green chair lived in here for awhile. Mostly because I didn't know where else to put it.^^

^^ The closet was such a mess for a long time.^^

^^Then it came time to choose a rug. I looked for months for a rug just like the blue one on the right, but could never find one for a reasonable price.  But one day while purusing Target I saw that blue out of the corner of my eye and guess what it was on sale! The only one! So I bought it and immeditaly put it in his room. But when I got it in there I wasn't sure it looked right. So we tested out the one on the left, switching both of them out until we finally decided^^

^^ We finally got some art work in there, with a little more furniture.^^ 

^^ Then we found the perfect crib sheet, bumper pad, and bunny. For the most part when it came to choosing decorations for the nursery, I would find something I like and if David liked it too we got it but he wasn't too picky except for a couple things. This bunny and this crib sheet. 

We originally saw this bunny at Anthropologie and David wanted it so bad but we decided to see if we could find it cheaper else where. This was a mistake because we never found the bunny again and Anthro stopped carrying it. Randomly we found it at Pottery Barn kids for their Easter collection months later and we ended up spending more money on him than we would have at Anthro. But that's ok it was worth it to have, and it's seriously the softest bunny. The crib sheet we found at Target for so cheap but it was sold out and David hunted down the nearest one, and we drove 20 minutes across town that same night to get it.^^

^^ David hanging up the art work. I struggled to find a rocker that wasn't $500 and wasn't extremely ugly. David suggested this one from Ikea and I really wasn't sure about it, but after a couple visits to test it out I decided it was the best option and now I really love it in the room. The pillow was from the living room just as a filler and the banner is from my Mom that we will probably hang downstairs when he finally comes.^^

 ^^We looked around for a dresser for a long time as well and could never decide, we finally decided on this one, and I love it! We went on a Monday night to get it and I was so excited to see it in the room David kindly put it together for me that night. Little did I know it would take 3 hours to do, whoops! And of course Coco just has to be right in the middle of everything. I honestly think that she believes this room is hers and the crib is her bed.^^


After all this work the nursery still had a long way to go but I don't want to share too much without giving it all away, hopefully later this week It will be totally done!

*please note I do not let Coco sleep in the crib and immediately move her from it once she jumps in, and now that its all clean and ready to go she is not allowed in there. I'm not that crazy of a cat lady :)
