If there is one thing Adam and I have learned in our three years as homeowners, it is that when you do a home improvement project, it will always take longer and cost more than you originally planned. Such was the case with our latest project, our nursery re-do. But I am oh, so happy with the way it turned out!
As I mentioned before, Matt has been occupying this bedroom for the last five or so months. I didn't get any pictures of it while he was still living in there, but these are our "before" shots when we had just completed the prep work prior to painting.

| The Full Finished Project! |
The only other thing that I would really like to do is re-finish the crib in white. I still might do that eventually, but for now I think I am going to leave it alone. The due date is tomorrow and I am tired! But in all, I am so, so happy with the way things look. We have never brought a baby home to a house before; both boys were born while we lived in an apartment. So this was the first time we really got to create a nursery, and it was so fun! We are ready for you, Baby Annie! Hurry up and get here now, would you?!

Stop it!!!! That's too ridiculously cute! (and I kinda love that it's green and pink-- so is Lex's room! They're destined to be BFF's!!!) Did you end up making or buying bedding? It's stinkin cute! I'm dying that it's a matter of days (or even hours?!?!?! eeeeek!) til Annie gets here and I'm stuck in Utah! I need to snuggle her!!!
WOW!! This turned out just super! I am very impressed. The pink and green looks great together. The little touches like the tie-backs and the decor and the throw pillow are great. And a while a white crib would look good, the wood still looks really great!
Abby was the first baby we brought home to a house, too, and yes, she got more of a nursery than either of the boys, as well! (Logan's room doubled as a storage room -- one side was filled with boxes -- and Josh never did and never has had a room to himself!)
Looks so good Meggin! I'm so excited for your baby girl to get here and start enjoying that room. I hope she comes soon soon soon!
Adorable!! You guys really did a great job. I've said it a few times before and may continue to say it...so wonderful and so crazy to have a little girl in your house! All those sweet outfits lined up in the closet are fantastic. How will she ever wear it all?! :)
