PW #2: Nursery & Gear

Clerk9 · May 2011

The baby's room is *finally* cleared out & we have some actual baby stuff in there!!!

Here's a pic of the crib & stroller (the quilt was made by DH's grandmother & may or may not stay in the room):

The paint color we're going to use on the walls ("Aqua Chiffon", the bottom color; trim will stay off-white):

And the goal is to coordinate it with this bedding:

I plan on doing red accents (curtains, rug) & pink accessories to bring in more of the bedding color. I feel like there is SO much to do & we're running out of time...I'm always so impressed with you ladies who are more on the ball & already have everything done by now!!! And I will definitely post more pics when we're done.

Ahhhhh I love!!! I can't wait to see the finished product. Don't worry I am just as far behind as you. All we have done is the wall painted, the furniture assembled, and the shower gifts piled in the corner. DH has to finish some dry wall in the closet and then I can clean and start decorating.

Okay, I love all of these....I like that chair I see in the background, it looks like a pretty neat rocker. What kind of stroller is that, it also looks awesome!

Your pink, red, aqua chiffon theme sounds very fun and bright, I love it!

:::Hurries to look at the next set of pictures:::

ETA: How sweet that your DH's grandmother made the quilt! Yeah, it might not go with your other colors, but you will still get plenty of good use out of it even if you don't want it displayed in the room. You could have it out in the living room for your LO to lay on.

The rocking chair is something we picked up a few years ago at an antique mall for under $50! (And I've seen several at antique malls since...if you look around, you might be able to find one.) ETA: Try googling "bentwood rocking chair"!

The stroller is a Bumbleride Flite: https://www.bumbleride.com/strollers/flite-home.php DH & I didn't want to do a travel system, so I did a TON of research to find a good stroller that could be used from infancy on. It's really light (13 lb.!), comes with lots of accessories (rain cover, cup holder, shoulder strap, infant seat adapter bar) & I think it looks pretty sweet, too. We obviously haven't used it yet, but I LOVE it & so does DH!

And the quilt wasn't made specifically for us...it's a pretty old one (in fact, it may have been made by his great-grandmother) & DH had just moved it into the room to get it out of the way elsewhere. It's pretty big (queen sized?), but we certainly could use it for LO!

You sound like you're doing pretty darn well with your nursery progress to me!!! (But that drywall does seem like it could be a PITA.) GL finishing up!

How exciting! I think it will turn out great!

I cannot wait to see the end result of your painted room and bedding - the colors are amazing. Don't fret, I'm coming up on 35 weeks and have a completely empty room with primed walls. Not sure when we'll get the painting done and be able to move furniture in yet.....maybe after this weekend??

Thank you & GL getting your nursery done, too! It can be so overwhelming, but having the crib in there has helped me to get motivated to keep on going. And even if it's not done before LO gets here, she won't need it right away anyway, right? (Maybe that last bit doesn't exactly help with the motivation.)
