Two Steps Forward ...

... one step back. :P

Lost our camera this weekend. HUGE bummer. We've had it a couple years and loved it. Never had any issues with it and it did the trick. Now we have to get a new one stat - before the baby gets here.

Buuuut ... My wonderful husband did get the room all finished & it was ready for me to decorate this morning. These pics are a little premature but Im too excited over all of this progress to not share.

Before:

When we bought the house this room was humongous - David decided to split it into 2 separate rooms so each kid could have their own space.

This is the half of the room before the renovation:

After:

Here is what my husband has finished up so far! **Notice the chair I couldn't say no too. Check it out:

I will post more pics when we finish up and once we have a camera (other than my cell phone).

Nursery Inspiration ... ?

Team Green: Nursery Inspiration

We have been thinking we will wait to find out the sex until the delivery. Im really looking forward to waiting. Since we wont know the gender Ive been looking for some gender neutral nursery ideas. So far Im in love with all whites & creams -OR- lots of primary color! 

These are a few of my favorites:

Best Thing I Did Postpartum

... was set up a bed in the nursery.

I'm exclusively breastfeeding, want my baby to sleep in her crib and need my husband to get good sleep. So - a twin bed in the baby's room, no matter how squished, was the perfect solution. My sister suggested it a long time ago but I thought it was a luxury that I really didnt have room for. Turns out that if I scoot things around it does fit - might not look 'pretty' but it fits!

I highly recommend it to all new moms.

Coming Together ...or a Hot Mess?

So interior decorating isnt one of my strong points ... and I'm struggling trying to pull all the peices together for this baby's room.

Yes - its not a live or die sort of situation but its bugging me none the less.

Im going to drop in the pics of all the stuff I already have or that I want and you tell me if youre able to see my vision ... or if it just looks like a HOT MESS (as my 'girl' Chelsea Handler would say ;)

I think I went wrong on the wall color - prob shouldve done a white, dark cream or oyester color ... Oh well, we'll see once I get it all in the room & set up.

The Shabby Chic Sort-of Feel that I'm going for:
