From Blue to New

We wanted to show some pics of of how the nursery is coming along. Before this, we used the room as a workout room and it was painted BLUE!!!! After two coats of primer and 2 coats of paint-the nursery is now a tan-cream color (and of course Michael doesn't like it) :) We bought the crib and the dresser/changing table and then found the bookcase at a place in Austin. Originally it was an oak color, but Michael painted it black to match the furniture and I think it looks great!!!! We have lots of room for books!!!!!!

(Notice the stroller in the corner-this is not a permanent fixture :) ) The mirror below will eventually be hung up.

This last picture is one of my favorite purchases for the nursery-it's a LARGE painting by Oopsie Daisy-called Animal Alphabet and we want to hang this above his bed. Michael isn't too crazy about it-don't think it's masculine enough for him-but I think it's adorable.

My wonderfully talented and generous Aunt is making the crib bedding and is a mixture of blue, brown, khaki/ivory stripes, dots and checks (it will be adorable-pics to follow). I still need to get a glider & ottoman to go by the window, a lamp, a rug (a debatable topic between the husband and I) and a few more wall decor items-but haven't found what I am looking for just yet. We also have the vintage planes to hang up. We're not finished by far-but I just wanted to give a sneek peak...
