The Nursery is Ready!






















So after a lot of hard work and time, Jackson's nursery is finally ready! I have to say I am really pleased with the outcome of it, and if you know me, I am really hard to please sometimes! When I found out I was having a boy, the search began for the perfect bedding. Girl stuff was so easy (I liked everything), but for some reason, I did not like most of the boy "themes" or it was really expensive. I really wanted to do baby blue and brown, but when I found the green and brown online, I loved it (and it was in my price range.) I decided to go with some rather expensive furniture, so I decided I couldn't spend a fortune on the bedding. Anyway, I love the varied prints in the bedding, paisely, polka dots and stripes. Then I found a boutique downtown that had adorable artwork, and I fell in love with a piece that has his name, and I got to custom order the colors. I have to say it has been harder finidng decor since I chose a color other than baby blue, but I love it! It has just "a touch of monkey's" which I think is so adorable for a baby boy. Patrick did a phenominal job of taping off the stripes and getting it just right. Although I helped some, I am giving him most of the credit for the awesome paint job.....he's the best and didn't complain once! When he has a project, he likes it to be perfect, and will spend however long it takes. Now all we need is our precious baby boy, and the room will feel complete!
