Baby Room

This past week my parents were out to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. We were definitely thankful for them!!! The baby room was previously storage where we kept boxes and random "treasures". I was feeling really overwhelmed to go through and organize everything, so my parents helped us while they were out. It is amazing what four people can accomplish as compared to two! We were able to clear everything out and get things organized to where we feel like we actually have more room than before.

Jared has been hard at work being Mr. Handyman, putting together the crib, dresser, glider and shelf organizer. We feel really blessed because we have been able to find some really good deals. We even got up at 4:30 am to get a glider/ottoman combo half off at Babies R Us black Friday sale (I realized I'm not a happy camper at 5 in the morning!)

There are some finishing touches we want to add but overall the room is almost done! We are hoping that it looks neutral enough...

We thought this shelving organizer was really cute and we can get more girly box colors if we need to!

View when you walk into the room...we were really excited to find the Chinese lanterns at Zurchers!

Dresser and Glider...we are planning on getting a memory board to put above the dresser.

It feels good to have most of it done and no longer hanging over our heads...kind of crazy that a little one will be the final touch in 3 months!

What a darling baby's room. Dad & I were so happy we could be there to help get it together. Love the other touches you have added. Can't wait for the little one to arrive.
