Nursery - Phase 1

Nursery, Phase 1 has been a long process. Once we found out we were pregnant, I knew we had to turn our storage / weight room / sewing room / and whatever else our 3rd room has been and was becoming into an empty room for baby!

So I started purging. And cleaning. And organizing. Basically after a few months of on / off again work - the room was cleaned out and everything that was in it had a place elsewhere. It feels good to do that!

Through that process, we laid new flooring. And baseboards and quarter round. Then we painted. Although we have changed our mind on some ideas for the Nursery over time - we have stuck with the thought of going with 'vintage sports'. We like the look, we like the colors and one of us actually likes sports! Really, both of us do, just one of us is coordinated enough to play...I won't tell you who that one is!

Here is the nursery 'before' pic. (I say 'before' loosely because really the before pictures should show a storage room, with carpet). So this is after the storage was moved out, and new floors were laid:

Pretty much a blank slate.

Here is what the nursery looks like now:

Minus furniture and wall hangings and curtains.

The closet - and all the wonderful gifts we have been given!

Some of the knick-knacks we have purchased to decorate the room.

One of three different sport outlet covers (and a fun red stool).

We still have a bit to do and buy - but hopefully Phase 2 will come soon!
