“Sugarpuff’s” Nursery
Well….here I am. unable to nap while my big little man is napping, and 2 days past Sugarpuff’s due date. Yep. “Baby Watch 2010″ is still ON! I’m fine, I really feel great, but I’m getting antsy to meet my little little man. Until then, here are a few pictures of his nursery. A new ceiling fan has been installed since these were taken, but otherwise, this is the finished project, and I’m quite tickled with how well everything turned out.
I painted the wall canvases myself using the crib bedding as inspiration. And the GORGEOUS curtains were a custom design collaboration between myself and my dear & talented friend and interior designer, Amy Christie, out of Chattanooga, TN.
Generally I’m not a huge fan of dark/earthy colors, but the espresso wood finish just lent itself so perfectly to the safari animal theme. I’m very pleased with the choice. Plus it allows the vivid colors of the bedding, curtains & walls to really pop, which I wanted, as this room is a smaller space. I just wanted it to be a bright and happy place for us and for a little boy.
Also, the good thing about the wall canvases, is that whenever kiddo decides he’s not into jungle animals anymore, I can just take the paintings down and we are still left with an awesome room that could pair well with trucks, trains, dinosaurs, monsters, whatever his imagination leads him to!
This is one of my favorite maternity photos that my sister, Elizabeth, so graciously took for me. She is quite the skilled photographer and has been “booked” (by us) at numerous family affairs – holidays, birthdays, baptisms, etc. I am proud to be her first paying client with this particular set of photos, but cannot post more right now as quite a few of them contain baby’s name spelled out in blocks. We are keeping his name to ourselves until he gets here, which we did with our first son as well. Then we can introduce him to his waiting brother, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends! Any day now….any time….tonight…..right now….we’re ready to meet you, honey! Come on out!
