Nursery Progress...

Weekend Bloggy Reading


I finished the drapes the other night...



and picked up the white bookcases (ikea hensvik) for $25 each on CL.

I picked up the storage bench/trunk (ikea alve) on freecycle.org a few months ago but it was unpainted so I just gave it a couple of coats of paint and recovered the cushion.

The swivel rocker was another CL find a few months ago (it replaced my old creaky glider). It's covered in a pretty diamond matelasse fabric.

And thank you all so much for weighing in on my crib skirt dilemma! Thanks to this stylish lady's comment I decided that another graphic pattern in here would be a bit much. I found a PBK diamond matelasse crib skirt on CL and picked it up the other day and I think it's working.

I still have a bunch of little projects in this room like:
  • Paint and hang chandelier and make cord cover
  • Back the bookcases and arrange them
  • Hang the artwork
  • Use some of my extra fabric (thanks Alicia!) to sew new liners for the changing table baskets
  • and stitch up one of these diy moroccan poufs

Love,

  6. You have SUCH great taste, Pam! And I am continuously envious of your mad CL skills. I swear, I look, but don't ever come up with much. The nursery is coming along so nicely! :) Thanks for linking up with me. :) (PS. I got your comment the other day, and it made my day! I had a rough couple of days, and I do sometimes wish a few of my bloggy friends lived around here b/c it would make things more fun) ;)
