Re: The Big Nursery Thread
ive started trying to organize my dresser as well...any STMs or FTMs that have some good ideas on folding things for the best fit? I bought these drawer organizers at Walmart and thought each drawer would be a size (ie 0-3,3-6,etc) with overflow going to the closet. I was going to make 4 rows (onesie, sleepers, tops and bottoms) but I feel that there's not enough space for that... So I'm thinking sleepers will go in the closet since they take up so much room when folded..here's what I have done so far!

Paint color
Our our crib is similar to this one but its older from when my sons used it
Mobile
Sheets and rug
Prints from Minted.com
Prints I bought off etsy and printed and old frames that I painted
For dd1 I had 2 big drawers for clothes and basically only had the right size in there. Same concept: daytime clothes and pajamas. Now that she's 2 it's pretty much the same except the pajama drawer also has swimsuits.
For each kid, fancy clothes are hanging in the closet. And I have way too many clothes! We were given so many hand me downs with dd1 I gave half away and still had too many. I've bought a few newborn and 0-3 mo for this kid because mismatched seasons (dd1 was born in may).

The curtains I made!
This tree branch with woodland animals is also going to act as a sort of underline to our LO's name, cut out of wooden letters and stained.
Sorry for all the pictures. I'm just really excited!
It's still "getting there". I need to finish my sewing projects and get that stuff out of here. Also still need to get the carpets cleaned but we need to wait until the master bathroom is done so we can get the whole house done at the same time.
All the foxes!!
I've limited my fox obsession to some clothing for the baby....of course NOW dh mentions that he wouldn't mind if the nursery was fox themed...you know, after I'm basically finished! Love yours!
@thedaint87 I love the constellation wall! So much detail. I can't imagine all the time it took you!
I made the curtains and decorated the lampshade. And we have a black and white print of the front of a Corsair that will go above the crib.
A butterfly picture I made from all the cards we've received for the baby.
The floor lamp I ordered.
Just need the changing pad! There were actually two drawers in the bottom and FI pulled them out, took out the drawer rolling mechanisms and put down contact paper. And I got all our cloth diapers prepped and the clothes we have so far folded and put away. Love it!
I'm super late to the thread, to be honest, our nursery won't be done until mid-November... At the earliest. I'm good at not going into labor. Lucas will really be in a bassinet in our room for the first few months, but I have started his room. It was our guest bedroom, I'm hoping to be done with guests as of today though. There is a nightstand and tall dresser that I've officially cleaned out and stocked with baby items. Unfortunately, the closet still has non-baby items in it. I'm planning on working on that next. We are also getting rid of 1 of the 2 full size beds, I'm keeping one in there so that I can sleep in there if I need to instead of taking him into bed with DH also. Or I can just take a nap in there when he does!
I have a big question, and I'd like honest opinions (I don't take easy offense). The wall color is like a warm-tan color. We just painted them about 2 years ago, and like the color because the room is kind of dark/colder than the rest in the house. But I can't think of a way that the color would work with a boy theme. DH wants to do navy blue and bright green, with white and grey. Would those go with the dark wood and color of the walls? I'm wondering if I should start looking at paint or if I can work with it.
Awe these are so cute! MAN I am WAY behind. I'm such a lazy mom this time around. We still have yet to do anything to DD's room to make space for the baby. Poor DD's closet isn't even hers because I've been keeping my wedding dress in there along with a huge box of books.
So far my nursery accomplishments involves making DH put *some* of DD's old toys in the attic, going through the box of books this weekend to sort the ones that can go in the attic too, pulling out the bassinet, and telling DH we need to sell one of the bookshelves in the room. I at least have grand plans of how things should be arranged, but we haven't bought a thing...not even a crib.
I figure DD2 will be sleeping in the bassinet in our room for a few months, so I am not rushing at all this time. Hopefully she'll have a space in the room by the time she's a teenager or something...

I have posted this before in this same thread, but I am the same as @linziloo09 at this point and haven't done anything. I went through a couple totes in the babies closet yesterday to downsize that... and get rid of old shoes and some old décor that I had from previous places I've lived (donations!). That was about it. It freed up some space on the floor! The upper shelves still have stuff on them, and the hanging bars still have coats and sweatshirts that don't fit anywhere else. Hopefully we'll be able to use dresser drawers for awhile, and move by the time he'll need the bars to hang stuff, ha, so we have more room somewhere else for those things.
I do love seeing these ideas though! We're not painting the walls (they're white right now), and the color scheme will be a navy, white and some other colors (maybe orange, browns - woodland/adventure theme) room. I'd like to start shopping for décor, but don't know where everything will be going so that's tough. What stinks is that 2 of the walls have a ledge, so there is only one wall that is just the wall and I am not sure what we'll have go by the ledge walls. They should have only done that on the wall where the window is, like the other room in the basement, but I guess that wasn't the design.

@linziloo09 I actually have at least one day off from work each week from now until I go on leave (minus the last week in October), due to having to use all of my remaining vacation days for the year - last day of work should be the Friday before Thanksgiving if I can get the whole week of Thanksgiving off (and then start my 2 weeks covered by FMLA before EDD). But anyway... I am hoping with all of those days off, and how busy our weekends are until baby is due, I can "nest" and get things together a little better than they are now. Time will tell, and FTM here... so who knows.
We also need SIL to take the bed that's in that room for their oldest, and then move a dresser and night stand to a storage room above my FIL's office (it matches the stuff in our master, which is older than old and I'd like to just replace it all some day). Once those big items are out, that will help some. But, I think that will happen later than sooner... as DH's family is not the best at getting to things and DH doesn't seem concerned.
My goal is end of October to have that stuff out and more of the baby stuff in, so I can focus on that in November on days off. I also have 2 showers in October, and not sure where any bought items will go...

A warm tan could work for a sunset sky over the desert and if you wanted to be literary you could do The Little Prince? If not, you could add camels, an oasis, etc.
