the nursery

ok ya'll. i did it. i woke up at 5 45 this morning and just couldn't get back to sleep. SO, i thought of you! of course i didn't roll out of bed immediately to take the 'promised pictures' i gave it a good heartfelt hr of trying to doze back off. but my brain was too busy with things i could be doing. so i got up at 6 20.and took these pictures for you.

remember the ugly dresser? this is it before i painted it.


front and inside.
i didn't paint the inside
but it was a mess and i just
had to share.



the top. bleck.




TADAH! the finished project!
ain't it pretty?














there's a swing in the corner i didn't take a picture of. and there's also going to be -eventually- a changing pad on the dresser (it's big enough to dbl as a changing table.) with some white wicker baskets that have black/white gingham liners to put diapers and ointments and lotions in. there will also be a ceiling sculpture eventually. i have it, but i'm not allowed to stand on a ladder, so my dad is coming to hang it up for me. i wanted that rather than a mobile for the crib. it's just butterflies and dragon flies suspended at different lengths from what looks like fishing line and it hangs from a hook in the ceiling. figured we'd get about as much use out of that as a mobile -which wouldn't be much - and it was WAY prettier. i can always buy something to hang on the side of the crib that plays music and makes lights that she would like better anyway. it's not something that would be used til she's more in the like 4 month mark anyway.

and there you have it.
it's pretty much all done! the dresser drawers do need to be lined. so i can't wash any clothes and put them away til that is done.but that's really the only major pressing thing left to get done.

hope it was worth the wait.
sorry it took me so long to get them up!
