The Nursery (for now)

We finally have the nursery in a place that feels semi-complete. The nursery has changed several times from my original vision. You start out envisioning this magnificent room, then your budget cuts it down some, then your available time cuts it down some more, then your energy (or lack thereof) brings it down, and then practicality sets in (as it always does for an accountant). That being said, I am happy with where it is now and am super excited about the small projects I have in store to complete it. One big change is we opted to put the futon in the nursery in light of all the guests we will be having this summer. We decided it would be nice to have the extra bed. Lottie can stay in the pack and play in our room during these visits. Anyways, here is the room so far:

 

In the 3rd picture, you can see that Chris has even mounted the camera to our video monitor. I plan to paint the changing table white and add cute baskets to hold diapers, wipes, etc. The book shelves will eventually be decorated, and the stuff to the right of the crib will be moved. But for now, we feel good about bringing her home to this room.
