Labor Day Nursery Labor!

So we've been easing into setting up the nursery, but now I'm totally motivated.  This weekend (Labor Day weekend), I'm planning on getting A LOT done. Here's where we're @ as of Saturday morning...

B supervising assembly of the changing table.

Can't get enough of Willie's name banner I made. Thanks to laybabylay.com & pinterest.com for inspiration for this idea!

 

The dude is getting in on the supervising, although he mostly prefers the kick ass hiding places in the nursery with all of the boxes.

Love the focus & concentration in this one

She's got it covered! :)

Changing table is complete! Yet another pinterest.com inspired idea!  It's an IKEA Expedit bookcase http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70103085 with some legs http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00054564 for extra height to be sure to be @ the right height for changing poopy diapers. :)

As much as I like to pretend that I've got a plan and got things covered, my hubby's always looking out for me. I was determined to keep the crib on the other wall, but he encouraged me to rearrange and I love the way it looks.

Got lots to do with this, but you get the idea.  

Love our Phil & Ted's nest from Grandma S from Pout in Fargo http://www.poutbabyboutique.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?display=home! 

So love this lamp.  Got an amazing deal on it at one of our favorite shops in Melbourne http://www.manta.com/c/mvrcbn4/patina, had it rewired and it's good to go. It even has a nightlight in the center!

Here is the crib in it's new location with it's fab handmade crib skirt.  

I had planned to tackle making the crib skirt myself. But when I found this lovely lady http://www.etsy.com/people/babycribtoddlersheet and she only charged me $26 (including shipping!) to make this perfectly pleated skirt, I couldn't resist. 

The clock against the wall is another lovely find that my mom & I spotted @ one of her favorite antique store in Melbourne.

These beautiful and unique art prints are going up just as soon as I fancy up some plain white IKEA frames. You must check out Black Baroque's etsy.com site http://www.etsy.com/people/BlackBaroque for more amazing art prints.  Alexandra & her dog Poni have to be the friendliest sellers on etsy.com! I have one more print on the way with seashells.  Totally reminds me of being a kid in Florida!
