More Than Just A Can Of Paint

When we were first told that we were going to be blessed with a girl, I wanted to proceed cautiously. We contemplated painting the room a neutral colour and stick with a neutral theme. When the second ultrasound said the same thing, I started to think, "Well, it can't hurt to have a few pink things on hand...just in case". As time went by, we started collecting more and more pink things. And then we painted the room pink. And bought pink sheets. And pink towels. And a pink chandelier. And a pink mobile. Do you see where this is heading? Originally, I kept telling myself, "If the ultrasounds were wrong, we're only out the cost of a can of paint". It is so much more than that now.

The nursery is close to being finished. There are still more things to put up on the walls (some framed prints and a few small shelves) and we have yet to build the hutch that will sit on the change table. We also have to move my recliner and a night table into the one corner, plus I still want to find a cutesy area rug for the centre of the room. After that, the only thing that will be missing will be the baby. I must say...the nursery has a whole lotta pink going on!


The saying over the crib says, "Angels danced on the day you were born".
















The change table was the most difficult piece of furniture that I have ever put together!

















The drapes still have to be shortened quite a bit.






















The mobile...little butterflies.



















The stuffed kitty that sort of looks like a cross between a cow and a pig.
















Building up the pink clothes!


















I am so looking forward to cuddling with Baby in the middle of the night with only this lamp for light!
