Nursery Sneak Peek

The nursery is finally baby-ready! I sort of feel like we cheated since we didn't do much to the room, and we most definitely didn't go overboard with the painting and decorating like we did with our other two boys' nurseries - they both had decorative chair rail moulding and two tone paint schemes. This time around I haven't had the energy to do very much at all, so we decided to keep the room the neutral tan color that it was already painted, and we chose to save ourselves some money by reusing all of the bedding and decor that was in Sawyer's baby room. Part of me is sort of bummed that we didn't go all out and create the rocket ship themed room that I had envisioned, but honestly I'm really grateful that it was so much easier and cheaper to put this all together. I can always save the rockets for his "big boy" room :)


I used scrapbook paper and WallPops! wallpaper dots to personalize his space.


Mitch built this new oversized bookcase to hold all the baby toys and a few of our favorite baby books. We reused the beach wall art and the surfboard that we made for his big brother's room. The only misfit piece is our totally out-of-place striped rocker - it matched our old living room perfectly!

Mitch also built this blue diaper storage cabinet a few years ago, and I painted on the palm trees and surfboards to match the rest of the theme.

One of my most favorite things of all is this gorgeous crocheted blankie that Holly made for Simon. ♥

So, now all we have to do is sit back and wait for the new addition to make his arrival...five and a half weeks at most!
