The Nursery

Welcome to Luke's Nursery...

Luke's Nursery is finally finished. If you saw posts from Ben's nursery three years ago, you'll notice a lot of the same things. I'm thankful that we made the investment for the furniture that we really wanted so that it will last for two or (hopefully) three kids. That is also why everything is white - it just made more sense in light of our own style.

We are having to make a huge adjustment in our layout from Ben's nursery. His room was around 14x20, and was the largest room in our former 80 year-old house.

Looking in from the doorway.

The armoire we used for Ben. This is a piece of furniture I got for my bedroom in high school, and I repainted it for Ben and added blue panels and blue to the front drawer. The blue drawer had Ben's initials on it. Now we changed it to green accents and put Luke's name on the drawer.

Same crib that Ben used. We bought it from Bombay Kids when their stores were closing down nationwide. Jenny made the crib bedding. The insides are a yellow chenille, the outsides are polka dot. The skirt is stripe with paisley trim and the bumper ties and trim are paisley as well.

Jenny made matching liners for some of the baskets. The changer is Bratt, and the chair is Best. Both of them were bought for Ben...again, we splurged on things we knew would get years of use. The chair has a few marks on it, but has worn really well for three years. The changing table still looks brand new. The little bunny hat is what he will have his pictures taken in.

Another shot of the armoire.

We have to get blinds up, but other than that, we're finished.

We are so excited to meet him and bring him home this week. I know we have some long nights ahead of us, but we know it will be worth every second.

Stay tuned...we'll be updating as things progress Wednesday.
