The Nursery

When Kris and I moved into our new house we knew which room would be the nursery. The one closest to us and the one that accumulated all of the junk until we were ready to turn it into someone's room. Here are some before pictures.

Kris was mostly excited about getting to try and prime those awesome electric blue walls that the previous owners thought were a winning choice.

I wish I could really capture the fantastic light fixture with the energy saving light bulbs. This combination made every single person who ever saw the room squint, I am NOT kidding.







I think the best part for me was clearing out all of the junk. We got to get rid of things we didn't need. This fact alone gives me chills. I hate clutter. I can't stand having too much stuff. I realize that I need to overcome this because a child will bring more clutter than I can imagine, but as the Mommy, I hope to limit it.



This is the room, empty. The daybed was mine as a child and has been dismantled. Kris was able to get it up into the attic. The trundle bed is now under our guest bed and the dresser is also in the guest room. I won't be posting after pics until the Nursery is completed.

  1. I remember that day bed! I slept many a night on the trundle bed from underneath it. Good memories. I can't wait to see the nursery!
