The Nursery

We finally finished the nursery! I started painting the week before Thanksgiving. That was an almost month long process. We then finished the dresser in the room. We looked and looked for a pre-finished dresser that was not made of cardboard. For $50 more that the ones at the furniture stores, we got an unfinished one that was made of WOOD and only wood! Lindy should find it useful for many years to come! Here are some pictures of our hard work!

A co-worker made Lindy this beautiful quilt. Thanks Heather! As usual, your work is amazing!

The dresser and cozy rocking chair.

Jim spent a couple of hours hanging art and shelves! Those of you who have known me for years, know that I had an entire cabinet full of collectible Pooh items. I was able to display all of my figurines on the shelves that Jim hung. They had been in boxes for over 8 years waiting for a nursery! My sister gave me the art more than 10 years ago. She found a set of lithographs of the original E.H. Shepard water colors and gave them to me for Christmas my senior year of high school. I chose 5 of my favorites and had them framed to go with the bedding. It makes me very happy to have them on display! My mom gave us all of the bedding, curtains, baskets and lamps for the room. They are so beautiful with the yellow paint! Dad built shelves for us in the closet and provided the beautiful replica glass antique drawer pulls for the dresser. The only thing I have left to do is find a crystal chandelier to hang in the middle of the room and have the baby! Both sound like easy tasks...
