Nursery is starting to take shape!!

Now that my family room curtain project is finished, we emptied all the sewing equipment out of the nursery. Our glider and ottoman arrived from Babies R Us, so I went ahead and put that together. It's so comfy and cushy - I hope it will be great for those long nights when we have a little one!

I also assembled our changing table. I got a great deal on it at Target ($71.99!), so I was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy it felt once it was assembled. I didn't want to spend too much on something we'd only use for a couple of years. The picture below shows the room with the changer and glider. It's a petite room, but all that's left to add is the crib (on the wall where I'm standing to take the picture) and a small nightstand to the left of the glider. I'm really loving the wall color; it looks so pretty in the afternoon light. Please ignore the large plastic bags on the right of the picture - those hold my family room curtains, which are rolled onto tubes and stored in the bags.

Next up for the nursery: I pick up our crib tomorrow!! It arrived before the dresser and nightstand, but the box is quite large and we would have made two trips to pick up the stuff in our truck no matter what. Hopefully, the other pieces will arrive soon and I can put together the rest of the room. I also have some wall art and cute decals to decorate the walls. And I'm going to add some simple shelves and brackets for storing books.

The family room curtains go in tomorrow - hurray for this project being complete!!!! The handyman will be here at 9 am to help mount the hardware and put up the panels, so I'm looking forward to getting some pics of them when it's all complete.

In closing, I'd like to send out a big congratulations to my fellow blogger, Wendy, and her husband Steve, who's adopted baby daughter was born this morning!! I wish them every blessing and hope they have a smooth transition from the hospital to home.
