As I mentioned in my last post, Jim worked hard to hang things in the nursery last night. I'm so grateful! The room isn't done (you know how I am about calling a room "done"), but I'm excited to share what it looks like right now!
Here is the crib with the picture frames on the wall. Those frames will eventually hold beautiful black and white photos of the baby taken by our talented friend and family photographer, Christy Johnson.
Here you can see the crib with the finished curtains, lined in blackout fabric. That room will be plenty dark for baby girl when we need it to be!
One of the projects I still want to tackle is a custom lamp shade for that tall lamp. We really can't afford a new lamp, but it really isn't quite right for the room. I'm going to see what I can do about that.
I also have plans to hang something on the blank wood above the changing table. After all, the baby will need something interesting to look at while she is getting her diaper changed!
This corner might be my favorite part of the room. I'm crazy about the window, the chair, the table...
I bought the window for $5 at an antique store down the street from our house, and I loved that the paint was chipping and imperfect. I just cleaned up the glass, inserted some black and white scrapbook papers, and, voila! Beautiful art for just a few dollars! And of course, the picture frame on the table is a Lissalaneous original!
It would be fun if the walls didn't have to be white, and I still have a few details up my sleeve for this room, but now you've seen the starting point! I hope you like it!
In a completely rational society, the best of us would aspire to be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have.
