Before and After: Nursery

So this is the room we decided would be our nursery. I was a little worried that we wouldn’t have enough room for all the baby stuff. But it turns out the previous owners just had TONS of stuff. Even after Regan was born I had plenty of room for both of the children and ALL their stuff.

I prefer not to have toys IN the Children’s room. I liked keeping their room a quiet room for reading/boring room for timeouts. 🙂

SO this is how our nursery looked up until we got rid of the guestroom. We painted and put up curtains over the blinds. There was a subtle turtle/ocean theme going on.

So just a side note. I for some reason brought that little space heater to AZ. Ya. Don’t think it will EVER be used here……..

So this is how their room looked with no crib and the full size bed crammed in. I knew that we were moving so I was o.k. with the temporary cramped bedding situation.

I had to repeatedly tell Kaylee that her “really big” bed was temporary. They LOVED running back and forth and jumping around on the beds. Oh, and the little chairs were to help Regan out with getting into/out of bed.

Making room for two

So here’s what I’ve been VERY slowly up to with Jon’s help. We rearranged the nursery for two little ones. The before pictures are from a few weeks before Kaylee was born. We added more stuff like crib bedding and some pink and purple touches. For the kids sharing the room I gave each their own window shelf. And added a twin size bed for little miss. The crib is all ready for Regan. I’ve got his blankies all washed and ready for his use. Kaylee’s bed is very special. I made the quilt, the bed and box spring are borrowed from Grandma and Grandpa, all her sheets are from Yaya (2 sets, 1 is my old strawberry short cake set!), and of course her blankies from Great Grandma Sapp and Angie. She loves her big girl bed so very much. I love just how special it is all full of love.
