The Nursery so far!

We started with a room that was brown from the ceiling all the way down. We primed it all. Painted the ceiling, doors and trim white. Then painted the walls a lovely gray. Needless to say, we were excited to be done painting, and were even more excited to begin decorating! There are still a few things we want to add (clock, lamp, some cute name decoration above her crib - once she's officially named, etc.), but here's it is so far!

My mom and I made the valence. We didn't have a pattern, but I had an idea of what I wanted in my head, and so we just kind of made it up as we went along!

I got the rug, chair and bookcase from Four Chairs, and I love them all so much. The green chair and the blue rug are the perfect amount of color against the other white furniture.



We love our crib and dresser/changing table. They were super inexpensive, and they are a perfect fit to the nursery.

We love our little nursery. We're excited to add a few more personal touches, but most of all we're excited to add the best addition of all, our baby girl. We're only a few weeks away, maybe even days away. Everyone asks us if we're ready, and of course we have purchased several things to be physically prepared, we've read several books to try and be mentally prepared, but let's be honest...who is ever ready to bring home a newborn. Ryan says it best, "we may not be completely ready, but we're willing"...and sooo excited!
