the Nursery


Since Nolan and the baby girl will be sharing a room, I've decided to do a Dick and Jane vintage retro theme room, not too much with matchy bedding...just some gingham and dots sheets, ric rac trim added to a solid bedskirt maybe. Nolan loves his crib so I will be on the lookout for a second one. He already has a chenille bumper which will go nicely, but the curtains will be this fabric (above). I am going to paint my changing table green. I have a peg shelf to go above and am wondering what cute things to put on it. I saw a cute little red wagon, any other ideas? I am thinking of painting the walls a buttery creamy color, so do not know if the fabric I get should be the white background or off-white? Also, will order a Dick and Jane calendar for a couple of prints to frame to put over where the glider rocker that is on my wish list. The room is fairly small so I cannot put a bunch of stuff in it.
I finally sewed some curtains for Jakob's closet today (there are no doors). I've had this fabric (9 yds of Waverly Wild West )for about 3 years and now we will make some cornice boards and the room will finally be finished in the cute cowboy theme.
Wish I would have gotten my house all decorated before I had 10 months to enjoy it. Still on the lookout for a shower curtain for the bathroom. If you have any cute ideas, pass them on please!
