The Nursery Project

We've really slacked on the nursery despite the fact that I really want to start Ollie off right away in his own room and not get into the bed sharing habit like Carson. Nothing wrong with Bedsharing but after sleeping with Cars' for 13 months full time, and now when he crawls in our bed at night and we don't get good sleep; I really can't fathom how we did it for so long with him. But, I'm also thinking realistically and I washed the snuggle nest today, along with the carseat cover! (Holy crap its getting REAL)

Up until last month the nursery room was an office/storage room. But thanks to the kindness of my folks, who are housing our decorations in my dads fishing room (thanks daddy!) I also didn't really know what kind of theme I wanted to go with; Carson's room was space ships and very boy. This go around I wanted to keep the room more boy/girl neutral because I know we want to try for a 3rd, not right away. But we do. And I don't want to repaint for a girl. So we did yellow.

After I picked the yellow I decided lets to a tractor/John Deere theme. Chris painted the nursery for us today while I worked on some crafty projects for his room. I'm pretty happy with how well it turned out.

Enjoy some pictures!

The crib just kind of "floating" in the room white walls behind it

First wall of yellow before I was kicked out so it would be a surprise :) Love my husband

Crazy Big Brother was taking his job of testing out baby gear very seriously. Also this is not a Car Seat. Its a Space Bucket 

Material for a name plaque (I hated all the letters Jo anns was carrying) 

Freshly painted, I put another coat of paint on it again after the first coat dried

The Letters! I free hand cut these from heavy duty felt

"finished" plaque, I want to add a little tractor to the bottom. I just need to spray glue the letters on

I bought flannel for my mom to make Ollie a light weight car seat blanket

REALLY crappy iPhone pic of the finished walls and curtains and rocking chair (next project is redoing the rocker)

Closet changing table

I like having the crib and changer like this the crib is just SO big at first  for a new baby. 

Phase two will start soon. Finishing touches! =)
