I really can't believe how soon I am going to be having this baby!! I am not ready yet! AHHH! But her room is ready (for the most part), so I guess that's all that matters right? Anyway, I have had a lot of fun getting the nursery put together. I have to thank Megan for helping me come up with so many cute ideas and teaching me how to do certain things (antique the furniture, hand-quilt the crib quilt, etc.) It wouldn't be near as cute without her help! Maia has had a lot of fun helping me get the room ready too...she brings all of her dolls in there and puts "baby Elsie" to sleep in her crib, swings her in the swing, wraps her in blankets, snuggles her, and just takes good care of her! She is going to make a great big sister! I've been promising my sister that I would post pictures of the nursery, so these are for you Sienna! The first one is the view from the doorway....We are naming her Elsie Grace--Elsie, after her great-great-grandma....I think it is such a classy, beautiful name. And I've just always loved the name Grace.. I told David it sounded like a very peaceful, calm, content, name...hopefully she lives up to it right?! That's the plan.
This picture doesn't really do justice to what these look like(the flower balls below)...they are really so sweet and add such a nice touch to the nursery! The mirror was free from Salvation Army (long story about that one!), just needed a little paint! I need to put something up on the wall adjacent to the mirror, but I'm just not sure what to do with it yet. Any suggestions?
The crib....we found it on the curb(FREE), I sanded it for HOURS, primed, painted, and antiqued it for several hours more...she better LOVE to sleep in it!! Megan taught me how to antique it and I think it turned out so cute! My mom and I made the bumper pads over Christmas break and I used the leftover fabric from that to piece together a little quilt for the crib. It is not totally finished yet...Megan convinced me to hand-quilt it (something I have never done before) so it is still a work in progress, but I am about 3/4 of the way done with that part and then I just have to add the binding....another thing Megan is going to teach me to do! See what a gal she is??
The dresser...another curbside find....gotta love that free stuff! And it's amazing what a little bit of paint will do for a piece of furniture. That long, brown thing on the dresser is a magnet board, in case you were wondering! I made the little flower magnets on a whim and am now just waiting for pictures, or something like that to put up on the board.
So there you have it! Not a lot to it, but I think it turned out pretty cute, especially considering all of the furniture in there was either from the curb or garage sales!! I seriously don't know what I would do without them! Pay FULL price for something?! Are you crazy?

So cute Crescent! I just love all the projects you and Megan do. You are such great little bargain shoppers. Thanks for all you do for Megan. You're a great friend.
Wow! How amazing! You did a great job. I love how feminine it looks. It just looks like a sweet little baby girl's room. Awwwwww. I think all of the crafts in the room make it SO cute. Can't wait to see it in person!
Crescent -- The room looks awesome! I also love to 'collect' furniture for free or from the thrift stores. It's amazing what a little TLC can do for a discarded piece.
Ok, can you come decorate Eric's nursery? haha..so cute!

I love your nursery! I am seriously going to call on you and Megan to help me out with mine! There is SO much talent between the two of you!
I love the crib and dresser. Great antique color. Wow! I better get to work. Our baby room is still our storage area that I have to clean up. You are very talented! I wish people would put more things on their curb for us. The only thing we have gotten from that deal was a foosball table, but we did pay a little money for that.
That room is amazing. I love everything about it.
Wow, maybe one day I will have a nursery...you guys are too good! Megan needs to start charging to supplement her dental hubby...
