Nursery In The Making

We currently live in a two bedroom apartment and the second bedroom had been used for an office, but once we found out were were pregnant, it was time for some CHANGES!

Here's the office as it used to be...

Before we could even begin transforming the room into a nursery, we found out that our two precious adorable and loving cats, had missed their litterboxes and peed on the carpet. Lovely. After lots of carpet cleaning it was discovered that not only did the room need all new furniture, it  now needed all new carpet! Sheesh. Here we go...

Carpet Cleaning - Fail.

Out with the old, in with the new!

Voila! Fancy new carpet! Even matches the old stuff!

Time to fill this room up with baby stuff!!! And yes, my giant pregnant self made Joe do about 99% of the work. But I made his baby, so there.

Gotta love Ikea - New dresser/changing table plus cubby storage center!

We figured a dim-able light would be great so I could turn it on super low during the night time changing/feedings without blinding or waking up the baby too much, so the light switch needed to be tweaked just a tad.

And what' a nursery without adorable curtains???

Curtain hanging!

Beautious

Then came the glider, some assembly required...

I guess he was tired? Well, at least we know the glider's comfy!

Can't forget the crib!

Now time for some decoration!  I had my heart set on a fun tree design to go up behind the crib so I found one I loved on Etsy and we started putting it up the second it arrived...

One piece at a time!

After an hour or two of branch, leaf, bird, butterfly placement we were done!

Tree's Up!

We still have a some prints to put up on the walls but here's the comparison for now after the transformation:

Special thanks to my incredible husband for working so hard to make this nursery. We LOVE it! And it certainly makes those 3am feedings a little less painful ;-)
