Nursery Updates!

So I have been a fairly bad mommy-blogger lately. I have so many topics I need to update about, but we have just been busy, busy, busy lately! Not that that is a bad thing necessarily since it means that we have been getting things accomplished, but I have definitely been slacking on my blog.

We finally got the carpet cleaned to my satisfaction over last weekend. It looks a million times better! I love MIL's spot bot. It is amazing. I may hoard it for a little while & do some other spots on the carpet upstairs before we have to return it. =)

Also, we got the dresser/changer unpacked & all set-up last weekend. It's beautiful & I am very happy with it. I didn't know if I would love the dark cherry because I am usually not a big cherry person, but it looks great in the room. The changing pad that came with it was very thin so we went out and got a thicker contoured one on Saturday. I think it should work out MUCH better.

We finally got the crib out of the box & put together on Saturday morning. It went together SUPER easy & only took us about half an hour. Again, very pleased with how it looks! 

And I am even more thrilled that the furniture matches. They were made by the same company, but are NOT part of the same set. The dresser is from the Abbey collection & the crib the Tori so thank god there is not a major color difference.

We picked up BB's mattress yesterday at BRU & it was NOT my first choice, but I guess it will do. I am not sure if it's quite as snug as I would like, but I guess we will see once sheets & mattress pads & such are put on. I took BB's bedding out of the bag to try it out & I am second guessing my choice. I am thinking that all together it may just be TOO much for the room. I am thinking I might take it back for some solid colored separates instead. I decided to sit on it a little longer & see if I change my mind, but for now I am really thinking it's going back. We'll see.

  1. The furniture is beautiful! Does it feel weird to have furniture in there now? Like, holy crap this kid is actually going to be in that crib soon!

  2. Thanks ladies! =)

    Definitely not freaking out yet about him getting here. I'm finally more comfortable again with the progress we are making in getting things accomplished. That's really the only thing that scares me at this point--that we might not be ready when he gets here.

  4. I did take some pics of the bedding when I first found it which should be back in a February post somewhere, but I am taking it back today. It just doesn't go as well as I thought it would. I think I am going to end up just getting some single pieces & meshing them together. =)
