nursery

[sara76]

I wouldn't pay this much for crib bedding, but IF I would, would this go with a cherry crib?  I swear, I'm nursery challenged.

I feel like if there was more yellow, yes. There is too much white, imo.

That is definitely cute, though!!

I have gray, white and orange with a cherry type color furniture and I think it looks good - I think the bedding you linked to would look similarly nice!

That's really cute & different. Love it.

Alligators are better than the gray and yellow with cherry wood. And you would think I'm nuts for what I paid on etsy for our nursery stuff. Lol

Don't forget I'm also shopping for queen size bedding to go with it, which I also ordered today from Macys. Blue sheets, red comforter. I would have loved solid alligator green to make the alligator in the quilt pop but I can only find pastelly greens and I'm tired of looking so red it is. Hopefully it all goes together or the queen bedding goes back and I start over, but I don't wanna! I'm ready to get this room finished. I am now on to stalking Homegoods and TJMaxx for a rug and stuff for the acres of wall space I never realized we had in that room.

Have you looked at BBB.

No I walk past that store all the time and never go in too. Weird. I'll check it out next time I'm over there!

I didn't - because it's not finished  I started artwork for the walls and haven't completed it.  I just need to do it!

Here's some crappy cell phone pics of his room as it stands today ... 

My husband picked this out for his door


His crib.  I spray painted paper mache letters with a hammered metal spray paint.  Still need to mount the camera.



Bedskirt my mom sewed.  I hate the bumper, but he sticks his arms and legs through the slat if it's not there.



A close-up of the sheets (and his favorite sleeping companion


Our snuggle corner (there's an ottoman not in the pic - and I need to hem the curatains)


Toys and books.  I've started painting bead for an abacus to put over it.  Since his dad and grandad are accountants, it's supposed to be a link to mathematical type stuff.



And last but not least ... I've started a "green monster" replica scoreboard to hang over it - with the score being his date and time of birth.  I should just finish it up for crying out loud!

[sara76]

Aegis I LOVE the Green Monster idea, hurry and finish it and post pics! The rest if the nursery looks great too

Baby bed is set up! I'm really happy with it. You can see the queen bed sheet and comforter still in the packaging on the floor next to it until I manage to get the queen bed cleared off of the stuff from the closet and dresser we let go. The queen bed sheets are lighter blue (lake) and the queen comforter is red (crimson). The beds should go well together. I love the crib bedding from PBK. The service wasn't perfect, in that regard I prefer Land of Nod, but LON didn't have anything that I liked, nor did the other 100000 places I looked.
Here is a closer look at the sheets and comforter too!
And since the app lets you attach 3 pics, here's my girl at the Rays games last night with her rally scarf on her head.
ETA I can't believe I'm really having a boy!

Whut? When I edited it my attachments disappeared.
