The Nursery!

We’re into the final stretch and just to prove I’m ready (ha!), here is a shot of our nursery. In the beginning of my pregnancy I somehow felt that the nursery should be as “decorated” as the rest of the house and incorporate lots of cool vintage items which then of course started to feel like too much pressure on me and on the baby.  In the end,  we decided to keep the nursery as simple and low key as possible.  It still looks nice, but isn’t overdecorated.  I’m sure this will evolve over time, as our son develops his own personality and desires (and I find the perfect vintage poster).  We also kept it affordable –  the crib, changing table and flag decals ($10 dollars a set and I used two!) are all from Wal-Mart.  The Anthroplogie rug, trashcan and Oeuf baby lounger were all gifts.  The sheet has sweet clouds (6.99) on it and the crib skirt ($16.99) is striped — both are from Target.  I nearly fainted when I saw how much designer crib skirts cost (seriously, at $250 dollars a skirt, that is a business I should get into).  I used myregistry.com for my baby showers and what is genius about the site that you can add products from ANY website to your registry so I was able to get what I really truly wanted.
