Show us your nursery

Hi ladies! I have been looking at this Nursery thread for months now, it has given me great ideas. yesterday was the 1st time I really looked at the baby store. I have a 2 bedroom apartment and for the first 6 months I want to keep the baby in the bedroom with me for health reasons. I was thinking of getting both a cradle (can be used until they are 6 months/35 lbs ish) to put in my bedroom and then a mini crib (which converts to a toddler bed) for the nursery (the door on the nursery is actually 1 wall that slides all the way open so its really like part of the living room if I open it). This way when the baby is napping during the day I don't have to keep running or staying in the bedroom? I can be in the living room. What do you think????

Sounds good to me... sounds a bit like our nursery.
We're having the baby in a moses basket or the family crib/cradle next to our bed first. And then when he's big enough we'll have him in a cot in the nursery, but our nursery is attatched to our bedroom, with double doors which are always open at the moment.... And I can see the cot from our bed. So we can keep an eye on him from our bed :p

How did you manage to stay out the baby store till now????? :shrug: As soon as I found out I was pregnant I just got drawn to the baby shops... I just HAVE to go in there even if I've been in there a week or couple of weeks before..... I can't help it... haha.

ooh, thanks. I did some more research and most cribs only go to 20-25 lbs so hopefully that will last till baby is almost 6 months as a crib will not fit through my bedroom door. It would need to be assembled/disassembled every time. I am dying to do my nursery but my parents won't let me (tradition - not to bring anything home until after birth). But since we don't live in a place that is used to people who do that and cribs take 6-8 weeks I am going to start shopping soon and just ship it to my parents apt (they live in same apt building) and keep it in boxes :cry: If anyone can find a crib (american store) with a weight for a 6 months old let me know.
 
Here is our :yellow: nursery so far

Lovealittle I adore your nursery – absolutely love the tree and monkey on the wall did you paint those on or are they stickers or a stencil?

Nursery is not even close to being done. So far we got the painting done well almost we ran out of tape and still need to paint the frame around the bedroom door. We also got the crib set up and made the bed for now until we buy a bedding set. But here it is so far :D I wanted mint green and chocolate brown paint I figured it was gender neutral and the hubby was so darned excited to paint I had to pick a color lol

It is a vinyl wall decal. I cannot take credit for putting it up DH did all the hard work.
 
I'm having triplets, so our nursery is going to have three cribs in it eventually.

Hubby put two of the three cribs together. We think we're going to put the third crib in our bedroom, but don't want to do that quite yet. We're going to leave it in the box and put it in the basement for now. Won't take hubby long to put it together when we need it.....he's already done two! :haha:

I haven't got any crib sheets yet, so it's just the mattress and mattress cover on it right now. I did buy cute crib skirts on eBay for $8 though! I love that they match each other, plus they match the colours that we're using.

We had painted the walls yellow a couple years ago in preparation for the first baby that we lost, so that part was already done. We had the carpets cleaned yesterday afternoon in the house so that things would be fresh and disinfected for when the babies arrive (plus, we had to get rid of any leftover residue from our cat that we had to put down a couple months ago because it started pooping everywhere!).

In our house, the nursery is right next to the master bedroom so it works out perfectly.

So, here's before shots with the room empty:

I bought the pictures on the wall in the two pictures below at Beall's Outlet stores in Florida a year or two ago when I was visiting my grandparents. I absolutely love them!

The little rocking chair was hubby's from when he was a kid. His Mom was going to get rid of it a couple years ago because it was broken in a couple places. I took it and gave it to my Dad who's awesome with woodworking and he made it as good as new and refinished it. It's perfect now!

The empty space along the wall between the crib and the door will fit the third crib perfectly when we set it up.

You picked a beautiful name for the baby!
 
Beautiful nursery MrsEngland!!!! love the Princess wall, and the name over the crib!!!!
 
Wow, there are lots of gorgeous nurseries in here! Wish we had room for one :mrgreen:
Our baby is going to have to make do with a snug little antique crib next to our bed. I'll probably decorate it with my bridal veil :blush:

This is where the rocking chair will go.

I am still trying to decide if im going to hang frames or one large frame over the changer and on the other wall left of the window.

The wall ledges over the crib look small but it's actually perfect size and larger in person.

The room is pretty small.
