Well, this is my first posting to the blog world. I have been reading and following a few blogs for a while now and have decided that I should go a head and give it a try! The first posting will be about the nursery that we are currently working on. Since we are expecting our first baby in April, we are working hard on the nursery. We will be having a boy and I wanted a very "spa/beachy/calming" feeling in the room.
When we moved into the house, the room looked like this (our house was infested with drug savy teenagers who absolutely destroyed it; but that is another story for another blog posting when I understand this stuff a little better): 
Then we moved in and made this into our office/space for all the other stuff to go and it looked like this:
Not too pretty but it served its purpose. Since we are expecting our baby boy in April, it currently looks like this:
My husband convinced me to paint the trim white which I protested for a while, but I love the way that it looks...he wants to paint the rest of the trim in the house white too, but I am not giving in yet because I think that a lot of the character in our house comes from the wood work! But I love the white trim in the nursery and think that it looks great! We are planning on putting crown up in the room, but am not sure that we will actually get to it. The room has 3 great windows that provide so much light and wonderful views of the front yard. We have ordered the crib and the dresser, but they are not in yet; the only peice of furniture that we have so far is the glider which is extremely comfortable:
The pillow is the same print that we have for the bedding. It is a quilt and I absolutely love it - it is beautiful! The other part of the nursery that we have been working on is the closet. The room and closet are pretty small, so we wanted to optimize our storage potential. Here are my dad and husband working on Baby Jack's closet:
And here is what is looks like now:
Well that is all that we have done so far! I am currently looking for the right curtains and anxiously awaiting the arrival of our furniture!
