Nursery Pictures

As of yesterday, the nursery is DONE!  I seriously love it, it is my favorite room in the house!  It's also the only room I've been able to completely design from scratch, and it was SO fun to do.  I go in there and just sit and look around. I wanted it to be calming and sweet but also fun and playful with pops of color, and I think it turned out just perfectly. I poured my heart and love into this room, and I can't wait for Xander to occupy it!  

Here is the 'before' picture.  We were using it as a catch-all junk room after we moved in.

And here it is now!

There is no overhead light in the room, so we had to bring in a lamp

I love the meaning of his name and I hope he grows up to fulfill it.

This is James' child, superheroes are a given :-)

Most of you probably don't care, but for my records, and for the select few who might, here is a breakdown of the items in the room.

Crib - Craigslist, $40

Dresser - Babies R Us, a gift from James' grandma

Glider chair - Babies R Us, a gift from my parents

Storage ottoman - Kohls, $24

Accent table - already owned, free

Lamps - Target, $60

Curtains - DIY using plain white panels from Target and green paint, $45

Bookshelves - Ikea, $30

All art - frames from Ikea and Target, $45, all the art was DIY that I printed from home for free

Changing pad cover - Etsy, $23, a bit of a splurge but it was too perfect to pass up

Xander letters - DIY using wood letters, scrapbook paper, and Mod Podge, ~$45

Pom pom mobile - DIY using yarn I already had, a crosstitch hoop, and ribbon, $8

The little superhero toys, the wooden miniature rocking horse, the blue teddy bear, most of the books, and the ABC blocks were gifts.
