More Nursery photos!

We've continued working on the nursery over the past few weekends.  Last weekend we installed the custom Elfa closets where we will soon hang cute little baby clothes! 

Currently, Mommy is still hogging Tray's closet! (see clothing on far left)

We're still working on a solution for the big window in Tray's room.  We would like to buy an affordable shade (maybe a black-out shade since this room gets full Western exposure in the summer months) as well as some nice curtains.  I've tried about 3 different curtains on the window so far and I don't love any of the options.   I may end up making the curtains for this window...

Last Thursday, we made an after-work run to Ikea.  We came home with the perfect fabric to cover the doorway that leads into the closet. 



I love the flag pattern.  It's so perfect for a gender-neutral baby's room!  The artwork is from an online sample sale.  The colors work perfectly with the curtain and the simple lines of the trees in the painting look great against our robin's egg blue walls! 



The lamp used to be in my office and was never used so I brought it upstairs and started brainstorming how I could fill the clear glass base.  The little stuffed animals were a perfect fit!  The lion is actually a mini version of one of the first gifts we gave my niece, Danica, when she was still a baby.  The elephant is the lion's perfect companion and matches the dancing elephant fabric I finally got around to framing:



On the wall adjacent to where the elephants currently hang, we will be hanging another piece of artwork.  Matt's parents are generously giving us a beautiful elephant print that has been hanging in Matt's childhood room for the past 25+ years.  It is going to fit in perfectly and we're looking forward to its arrival!! 

Hopefully the next time I post about the nursery, we will have found the perfect pendant lamps to hang from the ugly can lights that are currently in Tray's room.  We have a couple options in mind but haven't yet been able to borrow a ladder from our neighbor to test things out.  Stay tuned!!
