Nursery Progress: Part 5

The changing table is here!  Thanks Kristy!!  A major fun project is planned for the wall space above the changing table!  Stay tuned!

I've had this since high school and it always seems to come in handy.  The Black Rock-n-Roll Piggy Bank is from Aunt Kristy.  The teal piggy bank is from the other Aunt Christie (my BFF who is a bank manager).   The picture frame is of me, my mom, my grandmother and great-grandmother.  I hope I get to get a similar picture once Owen is here!  The lamp was from my office desk and works perfect in the room.  The baskets are already filled with soft books, and baby toys all hand-me-downs (of course they have been through the washing machine or dishwasher and are clean ready for fresh baby drool!).

Here is Chris' childhood dresser and the letters we need to hang on the wall.  I was thinking of painting them, but I am kinda thinking the white is so fresh and bright.

Think this boy has enough clothes?  These are all hand-me-down clothes that are washed, sized and ready to wear!

This side may not seem organized but it is.  There is a container of blankets, one with Chris' old onsies, and more clothes that need to be sized and hung up.  Oh and check out the breast pump in the corner with bottles and accessories!! Yippee!!  (is it weird that I am excited about a breast pump?)  I guess I am more excited about having other items checked of my list!!!

You have to see these cute pieces!  My great aunts on my dad's side of our family hand made this little vest.  Years ago I rescued it from the trash pile and have been waiting for a little boy to put in it.  Next is Chris' sweatshirt from his first day of 1st Grade. I mean he was already rocking some awesome clothes (remember this was 1986ish); don't worry there is a matching pair of pants!  Lastly, is a hand made overalls from Grandmommy Holmes, Chris wore these when he was little too!

  Check out the valance!  It is up! Thanks to Daddy Chris!

Bedding is complete except for the bumper and sheet that are on our registry.

Nursery To Do List:

• organize changing table and station
• put away baby clothes (this is a never ending project!)
• put liner in drawers of the chest of drawers (awkward sentence!)
• sew seat cover for rocking chair (pick up rocking chair from mama holmes after Christmas!)
• need little table for under window for next to rocking chair (might be painting one that is in the basement)
• artwork for the walls
• hang the "OWEN" letters on the wall

Seems like a lot left to be done and I feel like I have done a TON already!


So excited that this little boy is on his way to my arms!!!!!!!!
