So, I figured I should maybe post some about the nursery we created for Ian, just for anyone who's interested. The house we live in has a pretty decent setup for the nursery because there was a small office, complete with a small bathroom, on the upper level right next to the master bedroom. I think it should be nice, since all the other bedrooms are on the lower level, so there shouldn't be very much noise for guests and such, but we should be able to tend to the small one easily. Of course, we still have a baby monitor anyway, so it really doesn't matter I guess except for the guest-disturbance factor. Anyway, the theme we went with for the nursery bedding was the Jill McDonald "Adorable Dinos collection. The wife didn't really like it at first, but this turned out to be one of the very few battles in which I emerged with the "W". As far as paint scheme, we wanted something pretty simple, not too cluttered. Not too much taping and prep, in other words. We went with a two-tone scheme with a nice light blue on the top and a khaki color on the bottom, with a white chair rail in the middle. We also opted for the Olympic premium paint from Lowes because it contains zero VOC's, which is some compound that is apparently harmful to preggos. There was already a built-in cabinet in the room, which we painted white, and then all the other storage furniture and the changing table are from IKEA. The crib we found new at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for like $50, which was awesome. Other than that, it's pretty straight-forward. There's some random things, like the adorable dinos decals on the walls and a leaf canopy over the crib from IKEA, but other than that it's just full of all the crap we got from various showers and gifts. Hopefully Ian will enjoy spending time in there... asleep.
