    @laurenmdrn16 Have you tried beer? I can usually bribe mine with cold beer and doing the dirty. Haha. Just a thought!

  • Thanks, @doozer1345 & @bookelf221!  She is such a sweet and affectionate dog (also, a very large lap dog).  Definitely my princess!
  • We just have a few things to add, then will be all done! The room is a bit more blue in real life. It's looking so green in these photos!
    So cute! It's very "farmhouse nursery"! Where did you get your changing table pad?
    Thanks! It's from a store in Canada called Hello Baby, but it's by Keekaroo. It's called the "peanut". They are AMAZING because they are antibacterial and liquid can't penetrate through... So they are super soft and don't need a change pad! Just wipe them clean with wipes and you're good to go!
  • I am so jealous of all of you  :p.  We are so behind too!  I put the grandmas to work today!  (Honestly though, they are painting perfections and gave me menial tasks..."can you go wash these rags?". They even redid my taping!  ). They just did the priming

    I had that bouncer with DD1!

  • I shouldn't have opened this thread. I will have this baby in about 3.5 weeks and we're still doing renovations. I probably won't do her nursery until after she's born. Ugh but it's out of my control at this point. I do have everything ready to go when the time comes. Here is some decor for the collage on the wall. Her colors are mint and peach with gold accents. I can't wait to do the room! (The blank frame will have a picture of DD#1 with her new sister after she arrives. Per DD#1's request)

    Love your color scheme @cortney626! I just did DD's big girl room (she's almost 2.5) with coral, navy, and gold accents. Your LO's nursery will be worth the wait :) 
  • Feels like negative progress ... So many things. No place to put them.
  • @ncm0328: weird question but do you remember where you got your curtain rod? 
  • so jealous of all these beautiful rooms that are done! we are behind schedule too, well, as far as I'm concerned, my hb, however, thinks he's making great progress. it was a complete gut though, tore everything out down to the studs, and I did insist on custom planked ceiling and wainscotting, but he has a ways to go still. at least the baby cam is operational.. and now I can check on progress from the couch! in the meantime my dining room looks like a nursery explosion...

  • @ncm0328: weird question but do you remember where you got your curtain rod? 
    Haha yes, I do, and it's not a weird question, but I've got a weird answer lol. I hate spending money on curtain rods, and I hate vertical blinds but can't do much about them since we rent....so I got a white closet rod from Home Depot and cut it at the store with the measurements for the window. I got the brackets, painted them white, and had DH cut out little divets for the rod to fit into. I did see that they had some brackets that would fit the size of the white curtain rod, but they didn't come out far enough from the wall for our purpose. We actually used curtain rods and brackets throughout the whole house, cost us about $50 in all lol. So anyway, to answer your question, I got it at Home Depot in the lumber department lol.

    Looks like I won't be posting our finished nursery until the May thread. I just got an email that the light fixture we ordered is even further backordered than they previously said - May 5th. Ugh.

    Anyone know of any good alternatives to this? I don't want a traditional princess looking chandelier. The white shabby-chic look of this fits what I'm going for in the nursery.




  • @Charla1224 love the library!!

  • Almost finished!! Last touches are a glider/recliner and some books for her shelves.
  • I'm almost ready to take some pictures and share! Wondering if anyone has suggestions for table top type nursery decor that is/will be useful, like toys for future. I just got the Haba Bonita garden stacking peg you which is perfect but need a few more things!

  • I have to vent my frustrations!! The nursery has been ALMOST done for several weeks... everything except the wall decor. I was going to get things going about two weeks ago on 4/11 and DH was being cryptic and said "let's just wait a few days"... That Friday 4/15 his coworkers threw us a baby shower and one of his coworkers said she'd be making us decor for the nursery (which she had told DH, which is why he was being cryptic). Of course I was super excited and grateful in person, and I still am - it really is a wonderful gesture and thought, but I am also a little skeptical because literally the first time I met her was that day, DH doesn't know her that well either. BUT she says this is a like a thing she's done for a lot of people, and DH even showed her the items from Pottery Barn Kids I had been interested in, and our nursery pics and etc. So I figured I would give it a go, and if it was amazing then AMAZING, and if not, we'd probably put them up... take a pic to show her... and then take it all down and put up the real decorations LOL. Now you would THINK she would have had them ready for the baby shower on 4/15 but she didn't... but she said she'd finish working on them that weekend. Well the next week she told DH she was still working... now it's another week later. I told DH that I'm giving until the end of this week to have the decorations in my hands or I'm going forward with decorating myself. I am only 36 weeks but JEESH what if I go into labor tomorrow!! And all the intense hard work to get that nursery done well ahead of time for my sanity would be for naught. 

    Ok. Vent done. :):):) 
  • @cortney626 looks gorgeous! impressive that you did all of that in one day!
