This space is the smallest bedroom in our home and for a few years it was my studio, but I knew it would eventually be our nursery. The studio moved to what was the formal living room a year ago, and we moved the twin bed in to accommodate instructors for band camp. Of course, as we started getting things for the baby it turned into a storage place. Also, the Christmas tree likes to live here instead of in the attic like it belongs. The Christmas tree still hasn't made it to the attic, just to another bedroom. This room looks so different now and I can't wait to show it to you!
Here's what's holding up progress on the nursery reveal:
I bought this (awesome!) rocker at the Habitat Restore for $15.00. I'm pretty sure it came out of some granny's attic. Thankfully the granny didn't smoke and there aren't any other weird smells. Mom and I are going to make it our first reupholstering project, but we just haven't found the time to get started on it yet. I'm going to paint the wood bits in Annie Sloan Old White and I found this incredible turquoise zebra print fabric. Turquoise and zebra are both pretty far out of my comfort zone, but they are going to look incredible in the nursery and I can't wait to get this finished.
This is the last project that I'm working on, slowly. We have two full walls of built-ins (I know, be jealous) but the books are sloppy and haphazard. Basically, as I have the energy I'm pulling them off, deep cleaning, and rearranging them. I'm just doing it one shelf at a time until I get it done so I don't get overwhelmed. I can't believe I'm putting up these awful pictures of our house, but this blog is about the journey we're on as we make the space ours. Folded laundry on the coffee table and all.
