It has been a very, very busy week around the Pailes' house! Needless to say, we just might need a vacation from this "week of vacation!"
Since Monday there have been many changes to the nursery! Let's first review the completed items from the "to-do" list:
Paint the room...it will be a light green to coordinate with the fabrics we've selected. - Find a
book case. Ikea was a bust for the book case, but a win for the floating shelf...except the size we need was out of stock! Target proved the best, most cost effective choice for the book case!
Install a dimmer switch on the overhead light to help for future middle of the night feedings and changings. Organize the closet...enough said! We started this process by first emptying it of all the items waiting to be donated! We donated it all today! Register!!! Amazon.com and Buy, Buy, Baby....there are still a few things for us (mainly me) to decide on...but it's mostly finished!!
Some pictures of the nursery changes:
 |
| The book case; the door on the left is the closet, the door on the right goes to the hallway. |
 |
| The dresser, side table (for me!), and lamp! We absolutely love the paint, Sienna Laurel by Benjamin Moore!! |
 |
| The crib and side table! |
 |
| The dimmer switch!! I know that this feature will be sooooo helpful!! |
 |
| View from the doorway into the nursery! |
We still have some work to do...but it feels like the 'big' stuff is getting there!
Still to do:
- Order/buy the floating shelf from Ikea. The floating shelf will go above the dresser to display various items.
- Purchase the crib mattress from Amazon, it's currently on our registry...but needs to be bought sooner than later!
- I want to find some sort of wall art, perhaps a wall decal customized with her name from Etsy or something to go above her crib. Maybe frame some of my future maternity pictures to go above her book case...we'll have to wait and see what we come up with! :)
- Come up with window treatments! Especially for the eye brow window. The eye brow window provides great natural light...however, it could bring in too much light...all of the photos above were taken with only natural light! So some sort of solution must be found!
- Finalize the registry with the last odds and ends....baby showers are coming soon!! :)
- Put the glider/rocker into place once it arrives! (Only 5 to 6 weeks to wait!)
Annelisa has received quite the collection of clothing, books, and stuffed animals thus far! Lots of people already love our little girl! I can't wait to introduce her to her family and many admirers! :)
