Nursery Updates

The nursery is just about finished now, which makes this whole pregnancy seem a lot more real! Here is what the room is looking like now.


We purchased the Ikea Expedit bookcase for the side table by the glider, it gives us great storage for toys and random things like that, and room for extra books on the top shelves.


We also added some artwork above the crib, the alphabet print I found on Etsy, and the circles one I made from colored card stock paper circles I made with a giant whole punch.


I initially was going to make a mobile out of the card stock circles, but when I found a white paper lantern at Goodwill for 99 cents, I made this beauty instead!


I had seen something similar on Etsy before, and it was soooo easy to make. I just glued the circles on to the lantern with Elmer's glue, staggering the colors as best I could. I love how it turned out! 


So things are really coming together now! I am waiting for my dear Mommy to make me the bunting to hang above his crib, since I am too scared to put anything heaving directly over the crib. I also ordered this cute little letters in baby's initials, to hang above the dresser, and this cute orange clock to put above his door. Accessories are the best part!
