The Nursery!

We have just been busy, busy, busy this summer, hence the total lack of blogging lately but we finally completed the nursery last weekend so I just had to share all the cuteness! :)  I didn't want to totally redo everything but definitely wanted it to be more of a boy room instead of the neutral we've been doing since Maddie was born.  Most everything I did pretty inexpensively and lots of stuff I made myself - lots of fun projects!  So here it is:


Some pretty adorable prints from Etsy - I love how when baby boy outgrows this room, I can put these in his baby book.  There are empty spaces for his birth announcement and handprint.  And seriously, I cannot wait to take some pics of him wearing that little monkey hat! :)



The bear my mom bought for the little guy which will be used for his monthly pictures.


Mobile sewn by me - just some ribbon, an embroidery hoop and scrapbook paper punched in a circle.  We had a mobile with a music box that attached to the crib for Maddie and Isaac but it broke so I decided to just make something fun instead.



Just waiting to fill that blue frame with a picture of our cutie and that little ultrasound frame has now held a picture of each of our children before birth!


My sweet husband helped with this little project by attaching chicken wire to the back of a frame for me.  It gave him an excuse to buy a staple gun :)  I saw this idea somewhere online and thought it was such a cute way to display keepsakes and pictures.


Probably my absolute favorite part of the room is this lantern collage!  This is a super popular idea right now for kids rooms but I just love it!


I will be spending lots of hours in this spot in a couple of months!  We picked this chair and ottoman set up for super cheap at a consignment store when I was pregnant with Isaac and I still love sitting in it!


A couple new blankies for little baby - you can probably guess which one Maddie picked out :)


Changing table - a couple of the baskets now hold the cutest teeny little diapers!  I can't believe our kiddos were ever that small!


A paper banner that I sewed with some scrapbook paper and bias tape - super easy!


The closet is completely ready to go - one of the advantages of knowing the sex ahead of time.  Most of the clothes is Isaac's but baby boy did get a couple of new things to call his own.  I just love little baby clothes!  So cute :)


And finally, the crib!  I fell in love with the crib sheet when I first saw it online and it kind of became the inspiration for the whole room!  I could not find a matching crib skirt anywhere so I decided to make one myself.  It actually came out pretty well, I think!


So that is the grand tour of our little guy's room!  I can't really take credit for most of the ideas since I got lots of inspiration from websites and Pinterest.  Now we just have to wait about 2 months for little baby to make his appearance :)
