Liam's Nursery and Nursery Projects

Seeing that right now I am currently living in Atlanta, and when Josh comes home August 15 we will be moving back to DC to a new home August 25, it has been somewhat difficult to piece together what I want for Liam's nursery. I am very much a visual person so not being able to set up my crib and dresser/changing table has been tough. I have worked through it because I have no choice (obviously) and hopefully I will not be disappointed once it is all put together.

For Liam's bedding I went simple thinking I could do more things to the room to spice things up. I got his Harper navy blue and white bedding from Pottery barn but I mismatched the skirt so it wouldn't be SO blah.

Navy blue bedding and some sheets

I picked out (the bedding allows for

pretty much any kind of sheets you

want, which I love)

I also found this nice chair (with an ottoman) which looks white, but is light blue and white striped. I can throw a red throw or or maybe yellow throw over it to spice it up a bit and tie it into my bedding.

I have been looking for a bookshelf for Liam's room--I love books and I definitely wanted him to have a bookshelf. Josh's mom said I could have Josh's old yellow book case so I was thrilled. Then, I saw this little stool in the attic that was yellow and had Raggedy Anne on it and I wanted that too. (Of course I wanted to sand and re-paint them both so that is what I have been working on. I think it is so neat that Liam will have something that Josh had in his baby room.

Stool (yet to be refinished

but I will post when done).

(I love it!)

My mother--in-law knew I wanted to hang planes from the ceiling and I saw these at Pottery Barn kids and she bought these for his room (which was very generous).

I also saw a pic of this alphabet collage online and fell in love. My sister Leigh Anne and I spend this almost an entire day looking for all 26 letters (or what could resemble or be made into a letter). We could not believe we found all 26. She and I painted about 3/4 of them but I think they turned out super cute!

Finally, my sister painted this cute sign for Liam's room (maybe over his bookshelf or over his closet...we shall see. I think it's fun and again, I love books and reading. Leigh Anne still has to do one more coat but I still think it looks adorable.

Well, that is all for now folks. Geeze, long post. I can't wait to see what his room will look like. I hope it is what I am picturing in my head. :-) Oh well, Liam won't know the difference. Ha!

*Once I finish the stool I will post those pics! :-)
