Baby Room

Well we basically finished decorating the baby room now that we have a little more time with school out for the summer. I think that it turned out pretty cute. Gary and I go in there all the time and just sit and talk. So we thought we would share some pictures of his room so far. Unfortunately we are not able to paint at all in the place we are renting so we had to make due with the off-white walls.

This is his crib and some really cute bedding that we found at Target a couple months ago. We got the crib from walmart and we really love it. It was actually ranked as the #2 crib by consumer reports (below a $900 crib!).

Both Gary and I made some of the decorations by hand. Gary made this really cute mobile. We saw one that was really similar online but it was really expensive and Gary thought that he could make it himself. I think that it turned out perfect. Maybe our boy will be a scuba diver like his daddy.

I made these vintage looking blocks. They are not completed yet because we are still not 100% sure of his name. Once we know for sure what we want to name him we will put letters on each of the blocks that will spell his name. The empty picture frames will probably have pictures of him once he is born.
This is his changing table and dresser. Most of the pictures on the walls are from Etsy.

I am sure that I will be spending a lot of time on this rocker.
Gary put in these really convenient hooks which are perfect for hanging our diaper bags.

So that is basically our baby room (which was Gary's office). As fun as it was to set this all up we can't wait to actually put it to use!

How fun! I think it looks very cute. We were in our one bedroom apartment when Simeon was born. We set up his crib in our room and I loved just staring at it and imagining him in it :) We are so very excited for you guys :)

everything looks amazing. I love that bedding.
Sorry I didn't make it to your shower! I really wanted to go, but there were like 3 things that morning that I COULDN'T miss, plus Spencer had driving school, and took the car. It was just out of control.
We would love to get together before you have your baby! I will rub your feet for my baby shower gift...I am really good at rubbing prego feet!
