His Room

The guest room is now officially a nursery!  We purchased the crib and dresser when we were expecting Owen, and it was one of the very few items we kept in the house, intending at some point to give it away.  The dresser had been in the basement and the convertible crib was serving as the bed in the guest room since we moved back.

Shockingly, after moving across the country, I located 6 of the 8 supplied fasteners to assemble the bed back into a crib! The remaining two were standard 1/4-20 screws, so a quick trip to Lowe's solved that issue.

I put up a new curtain rod and some darkening navy curtains to match and help block light.  We reused some stuff from Owen and Molly's nursery rooms as well.  The quilt rack holder that Ken Wolfskill gave me before we had Owen, and a shelf to put over the changing table.  I painted them to match the curtains so it all works.  Allison found a lamp shade and base at Pottery barn outlet, and a matching wall art set from home-goods with the Alligator theme from the bedding we built the room around.

Molly has had a pink version of this sea pony, and this was a gift that she really wanted to give her little brother... the boy version though.

One very excited little sister....

It's December 4th as I'm writing this post, and we really waited until the last minute to pull this all together... I think we're both playing equal nesting roles trying to get everything organized before the boy arrives.
