His

We have recently started piddling, painting, and Pinteresting for BabyB3's nursery. Yes, I believe Pinteresting is a word. And I'm grouchy and pregnant so don't correct me if I'm wrong. ;) I've never really done that whole nesting, up-to-my-ears in pastel colored ruffly shenanigans that kiddo will just poop on anyway. Tirzah slept in the living room until she was almost 2 for goodness sakes and she's fine. Well, she's normal. Ok, nevermind.


We did decorate a bit with Babies R Us paraphernalia that all matched for Merrick, and at the time we loved it. And not to knock nursery decorating (cuz it's fun to dream and set up baby's room) but most of it (safari print diaper holder???) just went unused. So this time around I'm skipping cliche monkeys and sailboats and going for something a little different. (Why would that surprise anyone?)


We are painting BabyB3's room a metallic silver, with bright blue accents (like dresser drawers, frames for the walls, etc). Silver metallic is redundant, yes, but it's shiny paint so I felt the need to use the word metallic, ok? (Like I said...no arguing.) I saw it in someone's dream bathroom on Pinterest and decided that hey, a nursery is pretty much a bathroom for a person in tiny diapers...why not?


I'm pretty excited about how it looks so far. The walls are almost done and we are going to start painting the dresser and getting some stuff on the very bare walls. I'm also excited i haven't had to lift a finger yet (except the one using the mouse finding cool stuff on Pinterest) since Billy said 'no painting, you're pregnant'. For once I said, 'yes sir'. Can't wait till BabyB3 is taking up residence in his nursery instead of my belly.

The first shot is for Texture Thursday, and the second is for Show Off.

Nice! We didn't set up a "nursery" for Callie, either. Seeing as our whole apartment is around 1100 square feet, we figured wherever the Pack n' Play rolled to would be "her room." :)

I look forward to seeing the final product. I watched a design show once that really focused on creating something that a kid could grow up with beyond 2 months old. It looked awesome!

our baby will be roomless and probably end up in our room or the playroom at this point! I refuse to let a newborn wake up my older kids, so they'll be sharing a room much later!

I can't wait to see the finished product! You are so creative! Pinterest has been a dangerous thing for me...so many ideas, not enough house! :)

I created these beautiful nurseries for all my babies - and guess what - none of them (NONE) of them ever slept in their cribs! Not once!

Can't wait to see it down. We did the barn theme from babies r us and like you didn't use most of it. We reused it for Carsyn but when we move I can not wait to take some ideas from pinterest for their rooms.

I really love the perspective of that first shot. Thanks so much for linking up this week! I can't wait to see the finished nursery.
