The Nursery

The nursery has come a long way. It used to be a place where we put our dogs when we’d leave the house. Then the room was rented out for about six months to a friend from college. After that, the room became Andy’s workshop. Now it is definitely a baby’s room!

The dresser was mine when I was a baby and possibly my mom’s as well. It has had several coats of paint. Andy painted it white and we replaced the knobs to match the room. The twin bed is mine from when I first moved out of my parents’ house. The headboard was from my first twin bed as a child. We picked up the glider off of craigslist. The nightstand was something I had that Andy painted to match the dresser. The crib came from ebay and Andy fixed it up with some new bolts and some sanding and painting for cosmetic repair. It turned out great! The closet system and the changing table are also craigslist finds. All we need is a baby now!

    So I just realized. We’re both doing jungle theme I think. Lol … but you know mine has to have some leopard in it somewhere. :) It’s cool to see things are moving along for you guys, I think I’m going to have to do all my stuff end of July once I get out of school. Sad.

    Dear Andy and Jocey,

    You have been working so hard on your nursery. It is adorable! I love what you have done. Am inspired by your resourcefulness to find lovely things on craigslist and ebay and to use sentimental pieces. Looks like you have really enjoyed the process.

    Getting excited for Baby Z to arrive! =)
