Last night we made a trip to Ikea to check out a set of nursery furniture we liked online. We loved it! We decided going with something like Ikea rather than Pottery Barn made the most sense in the long run. Children put their bedroom furniture through so much wear & tear. It would break our hearts to see them dent or color on a dresser that cost us thousands of dollars. But if it's Ikea... eh. The set we picked out is still very sturdy and will no doubt stand up through the test of children's toys, makers, and teeth. :-)
The nursery will be what's currently known as Zach's "sports room." I painted & decorated it for him as a gift for his 28th birthday. All of his autographed sports stuff, baseballs, old Wheaties boxes, etc. is displayed in there. Yesterday I began clearing it all out. Today I'll prime over the "blazer blue" to prepare for a color that's more neutral. (Although Zach insists we'll have a boy so the blue should stay!) Not sure what that will be yet.
Last night Zach pulled me out of bed and took me down the hall to what we'll now call the "baby room." We sat in the middle of the floor and looked around, imagining. We talked about where the furniture will go and about all the nights we'll spend in there singing & rocking our baby to sleep.... it doesn't seem real!
