Baby's Room

Well, the other side of 40 weeks is a strange place.  I have been trying to keep myself busy so that I will not just pace around and wonder when she will come.  Today Brad and I took a little day trip up to Park City and it was perfect.  This morning I finally got around to taking some pictures of our baby room so I can show you all.  I must admit that I love changing spaces in my house.  So this one was really fun.   I'd say her room is 1/3 Ikea, 1/3 Urban Outfitters (I know, not the first place you'd think of for baby decor right?), and 1/3 random baby shops around our area.

This chiffarobe is actually from the 1950's. It was a piece of furniture that my grandmother bought for one of her babies, and it has been in the family ever since. I am thrilled to have it. It's a perfect place to store baby clothes, especially since we are short on storage here! And that is my blessing gown hanging on it, so there is a little old in with the new. And I liked the fabric that I used for the crib skirt (even though you can hardly see it!) so much that I decided to frame it and put it on the wall. I am going to make a quilt with what I have left too, so I'll show you that when I'm done.

And this is the feeding station. I hear that I might be spending a little time here:)  Having a 6'7 husband, you don't exactly get to just buy any furniture that catches your fancy, you have to go by what he will actually fit into, so we finally settled on this chair. Even though it's not a glider, it still swivels and rocks, and it even reclines.

Um, are you sure those pictures didn't come from a magazine?!? Wow, I am so impressed! I'm kind of embarrassed to put my nursery pictures up now, our baby's room is NOTHING compared to the fabulous job you have done to yours! I love it!
