The nursery

Finally finished with the nursery. Well except a bookshelf that my brother is building me. Once that's done, all her books will be on display and ready for night time reads <3

My dad built this shelving unit for our old house and it used to have the TV in the middle and dvd player below and we filled the shelves with DVDs. Once we moved, we knew there was nowhere that this piece would work, but I wanted to use it for something else. So I painted it from black to dusty rose/lavender and used it as her "dresser". We have a tension rod in the middle to hold some of her clothes that don't fit in the closet. 

My friend Sheri gave me this little vanity years ago and I had been saving it for a future girl's nursery. Decided to chalk paint it and distress it. So in love!

So much awesome art giving to us from friends for her room. The book print is by Black Apple from my friend Sarah and my friend Melissa had the bunny watercolor made by a friend of hers. Oh and those bibs on the vanity that I couldn't bear to put away because they are too pretty are from my friends Tina and Lexi. Both from the etsy shop Arrow & Muse. My friends know me too well. 

Lexi went overboard with gifts and got me all the cute things I could dream of including that bunny plushie and mushroom rattle both from Anthropologie. Can't handle. The blue plushie is by Bebito.

She has a little cabinet of all her blankies including that lemon muslin swaddler from Little Unicorn that my friend Lindsay got. Obsessed! I also got a muslin swaddler that has a print of the capital of Iceland all over it. What?!? <3

Diaper changing table from Ikea that's filled with my cloth diaper collection. Got my cloth diaper pail on the right and trash can on the left! Looks like we have two trash cans :P

This mobile was lovingly handmade by my friend/family Rene. I couldn't have dreamt of a more perfect addition to the nursery. A Nessie mobile?!? Doesn't get better.

My sister-in-law Brittany made this beautiful blanket and I knew it had to be hanging over the crib.

Our Bathroom Before & After

So this is technically Grant's bathroom. There are two bathrooms in the house, both on the main level and since neither are double vanities, we decided to just separate out our things into the two spaces so we would each have our "getting ready" areas. Grant's was the first to get finished with mine being done besides needing a new light fixture above the mirror. With the exception of wanting to paint the door to this bathroom the same color blue as the cabinet and all the trim and window frame white, it is finished. So yeah, I guess it's not really finished, but it's in a good enough state ;) We painted the walls from blue to gray, had hexagon tile put down to replace the linoleum flooring, painted the cabinets blue, removed the assist bars on the walls and in the shower, and then put up new curtains, shower curtain, etc.

Really loving all the updates we have made to this house and even though it's taken a while to get everything done, it is such an overwhelmingly satisfying feeling seeing all our ideas come to fruition. At this point, with exception of tiny fixes needed here and there, our house updates are all finished. Our goal was to have everything done before Christmas and we did it! I will be sharing the rest of the house this month now that everything is order and looking great. So happy to have a home that feels and looks just as we wanted it to. We could not be more happy here!
