Everything Else

As promised, nursery pictures. I never got to do a full-fledged nursery with my first two boys because of space constraints, and even this is just the retreat off the master bedroom, so there's no closet, but I'm pretty please with how it turned out. I'm still hoping to get some baskets and a pad for the changing table as shower gifts, but otherwise it's pretty much done. We couldn't afford any new furniture, so I'm using the hutch portion of EB's old desk as a dresser, and I got the changing table off of Craigslist for $15. Everything else was YB's, and the pieces I didn't have already (wall clings, etc), I was able to get cheaply off of Ebay. So I guess the theme is "Discount Blue Jean Teddy," heh.

I love it!

I think you have a second career now.

Actually, I think that'd be #4 -- mom, author, engineer, interior designer. I'm going to have to get bigger business cards! ;)

That is adorable. I did Chris' baby room in the same kind of teddy bears. *g*

Looks cool, Marcy. And not overwhelmingly baby-blue, like lots of people seem to do (and over-do). I dig this. It's still both babyesque and yet tasteful. :)

Very nice Marcy, although there is a distinct lack of bookshelves for all those novels his mother will surely write before he is ten.

I was expecting big bold letters B-E-E-Z-E-R above the crib, but I am sure they are there and you just forgot to post that picture... right?

:-)

You can't go wrong with teddy bears. ;)

Well, I'm not big on painting, so that's the color of all the walls in the house. I'm a removable border and wall clings kind of girl, heh.

BB will be moved into his own room at some point, so he'll get his bookshelves then.

RE: his name. Yup, just keep tellin' yourself that. ;)

Very nice -- could easily see that in a magazine. Maybe you should write an article, sell it and the pics to buy the furniture/accoutrements you don't yet have.
