The Golden Nursery Progress

Isla’s room is making progress, but there is still a ton of work to be done! I feel like this is a never-ending project, but I only have 15 more weeks left. We’ve bought or ordered most of the furniture, but are still waiting on the glider and ottoman, curtains, two lamps (here and here), baby mobile, and a ton of prints/frames for our bare walls. I need to pick a wall color (or wall paper!), create a gallery wall, and fill these massive bookshelves with books and baby stuff. The baby registry is almost complete though, thanks to help from Annie Dean’s list and other new mom friends of mine. I have to remind myself not to keep buying things or there won’t be anything left for my upcoming showers!

I’m sharing a few pictures of the nursery (in progress!). The ENTIRE room was once covered with pictures of the items taped to the floors and walls – as more and more items come in, more and more paper comes down! I cannot wait until June 4.

I cannot wait until the curtains arrive! Pictures of the lamps, curtains and wall paper are taped everywhere.

Polka Dot Nursery

I have been browsing through Grey Likes Baby recently (of course), and I found this fun polka dot room, which I love! I saw similar gold dot decals at Land of Nod, and thought about doing a Taylor Sterling-esque room (see first picture below) for our baby girl, but Sasha thinks it’s too grown up for a nursery. I love the bookshelves, the animal hooks, the gold end table, and the gorgeous lamp. Great details! I prefer this golden nursery, but there are a lot of great elements in the room below.

I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the nursery so far – crib is ordered, dresser is built, bar cart (yes, I’m crazy) is filled with baby goodies, the canopy is in! I’ve still got to buy two bookshelves, the rugs, and our chair + ottoman. I’m going to wait until we decide on a wall color before we make rug and bedding decisions. Rifle Paper Co. announced that they’re bringing out a line of wall paper in the Spring – hopefully before June! I’d die for some Rifle floral walls.

Our Baby Girl

DSC_0226

Sasha and I made a big announcement on Instagram yesterday – we’re having a baby girl! She is due on June 4, 2014. I’m 4 months and 2 days along now, and I feel good – I’m definitely glad to be through with the first trimester. All I can think about is baby clothes shopping and decorating the nursery. I’ve been scouring Land of Nod, Baby & Child, Hayneedle, and Pottery Barn Kids for cribs and furniture and being inspired by Taylor Sterling of The Glitter Guide (nursery posted here).

Her little shoes are Freshly Picked Moccasins – the first article of clothing I bought!
