Emerson's Room

Here is the room mostly finished!!

Sorry this one is dark, but wanted you to see the window coverings with tie backs I made:)
The dresser and changing station. Need the custom frame, hair bow holder and piggy bank.



Her growth chart, closet, and wall quote!

Her crib (with beautiful custom quilt done by my best friend Katy's mother Diana. It is stunning!!) and rocker (with pillow and burp rags made by moi and not as stunning) and the painting done by Courtney

A closer look at the quilt and painting!

Nursery Progress

I am currently getting internation requests to see the nursery. It isn't done, but here is what we have so far:
This is the best "true to life" picture of the colors, it is still washed out, thanks to the beautiful sunshine we are having today!!

Her dresser and shelves. On the selves will be her piggy bank (pink) and a gaint letter 'E' (painted polka dot maybe?), under the higher one, will be a frame with all her birth stats (dark pink). The outfit hanging is what we are bringing her home in, it is like this one only a different pattern. On the dresser will be a changing pad and a to be determinded basket with baby things and diaper items:)

The rocker still works with the new bedding!! I also have an ottoman but it is in the closet to stay out of the way for now.

Again, this is super washed out, but you get the idea. Can't quite decided what to put over her bed... Pictures of her? A custom painted piece by TT like the boys have? Another kind of art? Suggestions welcome!!!

I will take better pictures once we have more done, but for now this is it:)

Still need to:

Fix a window covering

Do something to the shears

Letter 'E'

Above crib "art"

Hang Bunny picture

Make piggy bank

Basket for dresser

Clean rocker (old milk, yuck!)

Insert baby:)

T minus 12 weeks!! EEEKK

Big Boy Room

We've decided to put the boys together so that we can keep our toy room until the toy room is no longer needed. So for a long time!
The furniture is all new from JC Penny's of all places! The Aiden Group on super sale made perfect sense and fit in the room like a glove! It fit all of our bed requirements which were dark wood, a bed that could be trundled, and it couldn't break the bank. It allowed us to get the night stands, which the boys love having a drawer all to themselves and underneath I put baskets to hold books.
I love John's bedding (Christopher Construction by Pottery Barn) and both boys LOVE construction, however, it's no longer made and PB can't find any quilts anywhere. So, I'm searching ebay. I've founds the sheets and the sham, but am still waiting on the quilt. So for now Colin is using a gray or blue blanket, which he doesn't mind at all.

I painted the pin board using colors from the quilt, and added trim to bulk it up a bit. Now they have pictures of their friends and family to look at all the time! Above their beds are their custom frames with their names and birth stats on them, with pictures from their first year. The Go Diego Go stickers on the wall are a much loved (by the boys) Christmas present from Aunt Christine. If they come down they won't go back up, but until then the boys love looking for animals before bed.

The pictures above the dresser we painted by Aunt Courtney and match the bedding perfectly!

We also added a lower closet rod so that they can reach their own shirts and have room to store all of their things! The hamper in the closet is holding all of their stuffed buddies that never really had a home before and now are much happier!

The boys are starting to go to bed quickly (usually) and have nights where they sleep all the way through. They don't wake each other up as much as I thought they would, and I can see it will get better! We are very happy with how the room turned out and once I find the navy Roman shades I'm looking for (and the quilt) the room will be complete!! Now on to the baby girl nursery!!!
