Another busy weekend preparing for little Zach's arrival. A couple of shout outs to mom and dad and Becky for their help this weekend! Dad helped up clear out the nursery of the old bedroom furniture and load up the storage room, pick up the crib, return a bunch of lumber from the door installation (we got $125 back!!), and today hang blinds with Matt! Mom was my partner for the crib set-up, we work well together and got it done without any major hiccups! And Becky met me today to register. Wow, what a great help! There is so much to chose from, it's overwhelming so it was wonderful to have an experienced mommy with me guiding me on the way!
So, what I KNOW you all have been waiting for...pics of the room! I'll do a before too. Things are moving along now. Walking up the stairs and seeing the crib in that room, it makes my heart swell with joy! I just cannot wait until our little man is in there waiting for us to hold him!
BEFORE
That's my Grammy in the background, she was supervising and doesn't remember cribs being this elaborate in her day! ;-)
All together, we did it!! (Pardon my appearence, long day!)
With bedding!
So there it is! What do you think? Overrall I love it! Mom and I are unsure of the gingham sheet and dust ruffle. Is it too ginghamy?? Perhaps a solid sheet or a different color or pattern would break it up some.
One side note, in the before pic you will see Max cat walking out of the room. He is totally unsure of all this as that was basically his room before (best hiding spots, littler box, and food in there). Now his stuff will be in the other room. Poor guy, I think he feels very displaced right now!!

I LOVE the new room!!! I think the gingham looks good. :)
ReplyDeletelove you!
I love it! It looks great in the picture, but if you think it's too much a solid sheet is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI think the room looks great, My mom and I were both perfectionists when it came to Jacob and Mia's room so my opinion is that a solid blue dust ruffle would bring out the rug and the colors in quilt. Give it that little extra punch :) :) You look amazing too, glowing with excitement and joy!
ReplyDeleteyou look amazing! can't wait for my bump to grow too!
ReplyDeletei am with de-ginghaming some. maybe a solid or strips something? it looks wonderful otherwise and i know baby zach will love his new room!
you'll need a few more sheets, go with some solids and then you can change it out a bit. The crib looks great though!! If you are like me, you will prefer the plain white ultimate crib sheet anyways because it is so darn easy to change without taking the bumper pad all apart! at 3 am, how the sheet looks loses some priority :).
