Head Start on the Nursery

Over the last month or so I've been keeping my eye out for nursery ideas and good deals on stuff. My first "big" purchase was 9 piece nursery set that I found at Babies R Us for just $50! Someone had bought it online and returned it in the store so they automatically clearance it. I wasn't dead set on any sort of theme, so I figured if it's cute and only $50 then why not! Plus, it works JUST in case we hear the words, "actually...looks like you're really having a girl!" :-P
After that, I started piecing together ideas and made mental notes for crafts I could do for decorations. I found an idea online for wall decor so my mom and I made it a reality this weekend. But before I could enjoy either the bedding set or the wall decor, I felt like I needed to transform our current office into a nursery by replacing the big table/desk with a crib. So that I did!
Del and I hit up Target on our way home from Olympia last night and both really liked this crib so we figured why not! We also found a good mattress that was on sale :)

Today after work I took on the task of moving out the table/desk to further the transformation and slapped up my homemade wall hangings while I was at it.

The leather chair is a place holder for a future glider :)

There's still lots of organizing to do and changes to make as the next 5 months go along - like getting more baskets for the shelf, converting the top of the shelf to a changing table, etc, etc. - but we have a good start and I'm satisfied!
