The Nursery

Decorating and organizing the babies' nursery has begun! Just this past weekend we painted the walls a lovely shade of butter yellow and are anticipating the arrival of our new cribs any day now. We are excited that the room will house two dressers that at one time belonged to my dad and his siblings when they were kids. They also resided in my sister and I's room when we were growing up. However, they have gone from a walnut stain to a more nautical looking treatment of blue and white, and are now going back to a dark stain. Morgan has been working diligently to strip them of their paint so we can stain them a dark espresso color. It should look stunning against the butter colored walls. Over our Christmas break Morgan and I are going to battle it out and see who can create and sew the best bedding for the cribs. We have picked out an array of coordinating fabrics that include colors such as slate, cream, brown, and even some lighter blue and tan. There are some darker patterns and of course, some lighter ones too. It seems like the boys bedding (which Morgan is sewing) will be on the darker side, whereas the girls (which I will be sewing) will be on the lighter. Here's a peak at our progress!
