Nursery Update

As I previously mentioned, we decided on a theme for Dane's nursery centered around colors, nature and a more modern style. The colors we (okay I choose them) selected were navy blue, white and grass green with pops of orange, light blue and a lighter grass green. Since we haven't started painting yet, I thought I'd show you the design progress. Here's an inspiration board:



We are using our existing crib and changing table, modeled after the Pottery Barn Kids ones above, lovingly built by Grandpa Lech. We'll also reuse Cade's nursery rocker. The rest of the accents will be new for baby Dane. Jon is making the wall collector book shelves just like the ones at Pottery Barn Kids.

Grandma Lech will be making the quilt with the following fabric:


I even got in on the DIY action and made these alphabet blocks...A, B, C and 1, 2, 3.

And check out this cute little gator...Cade loves his puppy lovey "Ruff" so we knew we had to have a little someone special for baby Dane.

I also made these animal print canvases with 8x8 canvases, scrapbook paper and mod podge.


We aren't making it all...check out this adorable alphabet print we picked up on Etsy. Too cute!


I'll also be making the crib skirt (don't get excited, it's a no sew pattern with fabric and ribbon) as well as adding some ribbon trim to jazz up our white curtains and natural woven roman shade.

Watch for more nursery details coming soon. It's time for us to kick into high gear. Today we tentatively scheduled my c-section. That's right...our sweet baby Dane is set to arrive by July 21st. We can't wait!
