Nursery Progress

We've come a long way, and we're still not done yet... but it's fun to see the progress. This room was originally our 2nd guest room, our Christmas decoration storage room, and the room where we kept Mia in her crate while we were gone to work. Our first step was to re-organize closets and floor part of the attic to get stuff out of this room.

I found the bedding online first, then my mom found a store in Rockwall that had it in stock. It was on clearance because it was on display, so we got all the pieces for a pretty good price.

One day while Brian was at work, my mom came over and we (let's be honest... mainly she!) painted the wall behind where we were going to put the crib. It was fun to surprise him!

We found our furniture at Lonestar Baby in Frisco and had it delivered and assembled. Definitely worth it! We bought a crib, a dresser, a hutch, and a night stand.

The bedding set came with a valence, but I really wanted to add longer curtains to the window treatment so that we could make it darker in the room... and add a little more color contrast on the wall. My mom added a black out liner to the back of the panels and trimmed/sewed them to the right length. My brother, Jake, and my dad helped put up the curtain hardware.

We found the glider and ottoman at Lonestar Baby too. It took a couple weeks for them to put our fabric choice on it, but it was finally ready to be picked up last week. Love it!

Brian was busy last week sanding, painting, adding the rod, and hanging the shelf that I wanted to display the comforter. He did a great job! I think this corner looks so cozy!

And our little helper, of course. Sweet Girl had to give up her room and everything! She knows something is going on, but she has no idea how her world is about to change.
Can't wait for her and Olivia to meet!
