First Nursery

One of the first projects we did in the new house was create a room for our new baby!  This was pre-pinterest, which is kind of funny to think about!  I used HGTV's rate my space for some design ideas and did lots of googling for other ideas.  I had my own "pinterest board" in my head and used bookmarks (I know, right?) to keep track of the things I loved and wanted to use.  I love how the before and after pictures turned out!

Here is the room before:

Not too bad to start with, but it didn't really look like a boy's room.
















Here are the after pics taken by Jessi Taylor Photo during our maternity session:

 The wall color is Benjamin Moore Spring Sky (it's actually Behr paint that we color matched).  I made the curtains and crib bedding. 

 The dresser was an antique mall find in Chattanooga.  The orange rocking chair was my husband's grandmother's. 

 Wall hook from Hobby Lobby.  We have since added a clock above the light switch for the nights when I was up late nursing and trying to time how long he had been eating. 

I really do love the way it turned out!  Of course it doesn't look this good anymore because my 13 month old is a mini-tornado!  Most of his diapering materials are spread out on the floor because he will not sit still!  Potty training really can't come soon enough!
