Putting together the nursery

3 weeks and the countdown begins!  I cannot believe I am just a few short weeks away from my due date.  We are in a frenzy finishing up last minute projects all around the house and while it's totally fulfilling my nesting habits as of late, I am sooo ready to have things quiet down for a bit so we can settle into being a little family of 3.

The nursery is our major focus right now.  All the big pieces are in place and we are just putting final touches on everything and finishing out the room with artwork and accessories. Our painter is almost finished - the chalkboard wall went up this weekend and the yellow stripes on the ceiling should be done sometime this week.  Here's a little sneak peek...


It was a little daunting seeing that black chalkboard wall go up but the more we go in the room, the more we love it.  The room gets a lot of light and all of the furniture is white so it's a great contrast and I know one day the baby is going to love drawing all over that wall!  This pic shows off the new floors as well.  Here are a few of the things we've collected so far, a couple of which you can see in the photo above...

Wonderful! We also have a baby on the way and I'm really having fun decorating the nursery. It is the room in our new house that got most of my attention nowadays. I like your white rocker, I'll make sure to check EZMod Furniture too.

Since you have a baby coming, it's advisable to add security systems in your home so you can have a peace of mind and feel safer. That's what we did ever since we had kids.
