Nursery

Ever since we found out Baby C is a he I've been asked about nursery themes and decore. I had already looked around a little on Pinterest, but hadn't seen anything I just loved. Boy nursery themes are hard, unless you want sports, whales, cars/trucks or basic blue and brown.

After looking and looking, I finally came across this cute modern little nursery, and fell in love! All the bedding is custom made, but I'm super lucky and both my mom and mom-in-law are excellent at sewing.

I ordered swatches last week to make sure I like the colors in person before ordering yards of it and am looking forward to getting them in the mail this week. The fabric is by Premier and I've found it on fabric.com - best prices I've seen so far.

We also ordered the crib last week and are going with this fun modern one, the Babyletto Mercer 3 in 1 Convertible Crib, ordered from Amazon.com. I am a little worried the grey walls wont look right since we'll have brown in the furniture with the two-toned crib. Hummmmm...

We already own the trusty Ikea Expedit bookcase (like the one in the photo below) and use in the current guest room as a faux dresser. I plan on keeping it in there and adding colorful cloth baskets for drawers and putting a changing pad on top so it'll be both a dresser and changing table. The hubby isn't thrilled, he thinks we need a proper dresser, but I think this will work just fine.

Stay tuned, I'll post photos of the progress.
