@Stankonia2014 yeah, thanks. I guess as a FTM I am just super paranoid about it being over the crib, but I can hang the heck out of a canvas and it shouldn't move an inch.
@mamaelle27 Just wanted to give you a shout out for recommending those butterfly wall hangings at target. I got one pink and one purple and ended up repainting the purple one gold... they turned out amazing and were only $3 like you said!! Thanks again!
Our crib bedding, linens, and area rug came in so today was a big day for nursery set up! Of course the pillows won't be in the crib when the baby is, but they're really cute for right now lol. I'll probably stick one on the glider when that finally comes in. Once we get our final pieces of furniture in we'll start decorating the walls. This is slowly turning into my favorite room in the house...
@Mother0fDragons I love seeing people's different takes on the same thing! I'm sure it will turn out great! Don't forget to post pictures!!
we got our nursery furniture in last night, hubby will be putting it together some time this week and then I can post pics! So excited to finally make some more progress in her room!
Nice job @BellaO21! We have a lot of items in our nursery now that won't remain in there too, haha. It's become our baby storage room until we decide to sprawl it out around the house

@wifeinraleigh28 Thank you!! I won't even show you the disaster of a walk in closet that she has... lmao I am in LOVE with your chandelier!! Her nursery is turning out beautifully!!
My post comes with an apology to @awoodruff27. I had a completely different theme choosen. Then, I saw the pink and navy nautical theme you were doing and fell in love. Sorry awoodruff I hope it doesn't bother you too much.
Lucy's name came today from Etsy. The letters will hang from an oar. It was impossible to get the picture without my bump.

@mombod That may be the best mountain mural I've ever seen! Bravo!! Can't wait to see the room when it's all finished and set up!
@kahlan82 Those letters! Do you mind sharing the etsy shop you ordered from? We want to do letters too, though I haven't decided if I want to do wooden or a decal... so many options!

I'm bummed, just found out our carpet install that was scheduled for Saturday got pushed two weeks. Its for good reason (the installers mom passed away), but i'm irrationally frustrated. Mostly because I thrive off of progress and getting things done. Secondly, because the entire guest room furniture is in our master bedroom and the entire upstairs is in chaos while we wait. In the grand scheme of things, it's fine. But
They were awesome. It comes with an oar to hang them on.

I finally settled on a theme! I bought a fun and funky rug on a whim and I was struggling on what to do with it. My MIL has been buying DS some Dr. Suess books with stuffed characters from Kohl's and with it being Dr.Suess Week, it hit me that the rug looks like it came from one of his books. So, here I am, adding some really fun Suess things to my registry and buying decals off of amazon. Here's some of my inspo:
I'm basically done now. I want to make a mobile and I'll probably make or get a quilt or blanky, but this is it. I was on bed rest at this point in my last pregnancy, so that's why I'm getting it done early. The little reading tent is for my 3-year-old to share.
@LAMCH1980 What a calming, beautiful space for your baby (and 3 year old to come play in)! I love that tent, and just the overall feel/colors of the room. I could see myself relaxing in there for hours! I'm definitely on team get it done early as well. This is my first pregnancy so I have nothing to compare it to, but from everything I hear, the 3rd trimester is not a fun time to be doing work. DH and I are adding wall decor to our nursery now and just waiting on the two final furniture pieces to arrive (one arrives today, the other - our glider - is delayed so who knows when).

@LAMCH1980 may I ask where you found your window treatments?! That whole room is great. Good job!
Thank you so much! I made them out of some foam board I found at Lowe's for $8 and Fabric. I didn't use straight pins like in the tutorial, because I was afraid they could fall out. I just used a heavy-duty stapler. Here's the tutorial. https://www.downhomeinspiration.com/10-10-minute-diy-window-valance/
@MotherofDragons , I hung up an L shaped shelf bracket (about $1.50 at Lowe's) and then hung one sheer and two regular curtain panels on it that I had laying around. There are some Christmas lights behind the sheer and the solid panels are the walls. I just draped those over the bracket too. To weigh down the bottoms, I wrapped the excess fabric around some scrap 2x4's. Fill with a blanket and pillows and there you have it. I saw it on pinterest and on there they used a cloth dropcloth for the fabric. I decided to cheap out and return the dropcloth when I saw it was the same color as some curtains I had in my closet!
I'm by no means an artist, but I had some fun tonight painting for the Dr. Suess theme. The lighting isn't the best, but im pretty happy with how they turned out.

There's a standing closet next to the crib and the glider is in a nook opposite the window. Just need to get wall decor up.
