Braeden's Nursery Tour

Welcome to Braeden's Nursery tour! My cousin just posted a blog about her daughters room and I loved the idea so much that i had to copy her hehe.. Thanks Nichole! Since all of my friends and family are so far away I thought it would be cute to snap some pictures of what we have done so far. 

Since we were unable to paint the walls, Dan and I decided to add some color by doing a few craft projects. Dan actually helped me paint these letters for above his crib. It turned out well, minus the freehand pokadots on the "A".. but I love it regardless because "Daddy" put all his love into it. 

We decided to go with black furniture (I will explain more later). This crib we got a really good deal on. It was very easy to put together. We had a hard time deciding on a theme for the nursery but finally compromised on a baby dinosaur theme. We did not buy a standard crib set but rather just bought a few small blankets with dinosaurs on them. (the white bar will hold the mobile which is currently being worked on).

The dresser was quite the project. We decided on it because it was economical but it was quite the bit of work to put together. I am very glad we did not wait until the end of the pregnancy to put it together. It came with a million parts and even more scews, bolts, etc. At the end of the day (5 hours later), we had it finished... I must say we made quite the team on putting it together! It currently holds diapers, wipes, and a bunch of clothing that doesnt need to be hung up.

These little guys are one of the other simple projects Dan and I made. When I say easy, I mean really easy and cheap. We printed the chevon onto colored paper and then printed the dinos onto blue paper and cut them out. We just put them in simple frames I had laying around. 

This black trunk is the my reason for doing all of the furniture black. This trunk is the most sentimental piece in the nursery. It was my Grandmothers (Kane) and one of my favorite things at her house. I love it! The stuffed animals are all mine, but i figured they fit better in Braeden's room now hehe.  (oh and there is our "Mamaroo" on the left. We are very excited about that little high tech swing/bouncer. 

Here is the corner of the room with the glider. This glider was the most expensive piece of furniture in the nursery but I wanted to find something that was comfortable and cute. The yellow blanket was made by my Aunt Chrisann and I love it so much! I love the thought and love put into gifts like that. The dinosaurs on the wall are decals that we found at target that added some color to the bland wall.  

I decided to take the doors off the closet because they were bothersome to slide open. We were blessed with lots of items from our baby showers. 

and here we have my giraffe that Dan bought me this past valentines day, the sock monkey for my God mother, Diane, and the Lion Pillow from Lola Dometita. I would have loved to do a giraffe theme but we had to compromise somewhere hehe. Now all we need is our little bubsie boy to go in here! We are so excited to meet Braeden in a couple weeks!!!
