Baby Number Three Nursery Inspiration

With only one month left to go it's really time to get my butt into gear and get this room ready for the new baby.  The last two weeks being sick really put a damper on timing and now I feel semi rushed to finish all the things like right now.  Not wanting to spend tons of money on this new room, but also wanting to feel like I'm doing something special for each baby we've tried to use a lot of the same furniture we had previously.  The biggest purchase really though has been a new crib since we can't quite kick Peyton out of his yet.

I'm updating the monochromatic look of Peytons room and adding orange, pops of black and a little more of a woodsy theme. This means we don't have any huge projects and will make the transition just a little bit easier.  The biggest statement piece of the whole room is some bright orange blackout curtains which will also be able to move around to any of the boys' rooms as they get older.

In true last minute fashion and honestly not having time to head out and shop, I was able to get most of the pieces from Amazon, so win for me and for Amazon prime for being so amazing.

Monochromatic Baby Nursery

As I mentioned on Instagram last week, our plans for this weekend were to leave Noah with the grandparents, get a ton of stuff done around the house, and spend one last weekend together without kids before the madness of having two begins.  We did a ton of outdoor work to the house. Finally got a new mower after the other one died out, planted some new grasses and flowers and mulched all the beds and the berries by the beach.  With most of the nursery complete I only had a couple of things left on my list.  We brought up the baby toys and organized the closet.  We got the best deal ever on a MamaRoo bouncer which I have been eyeing for like forever, and set that up in the room too.  We really are officially done with the exception of printing out some pictures, so this baby can come any minute now... well, maybe in a couple of weeks.

Finished Nursery

I'm so excited to finally have the nursery all finished and photographed.  I had always thought I would have a girl and had so many plans for girl nurseries that when we found out it was a boy I had to completely rethink everything I wanted.  I wanted something that he could grow into that wasn't super themed.  I can't imagine having to re-do a room every time he starts liking a new color or thing, so we just kept it pretty neutral.

And for anyone interested here are the links to items in the room.

Custom Nursery Closet

Now that the nursery is done I want to take pictures to post here but I haven't yet gotten around to it yet so I figured I would post the closet instead since that's all I have done.  I will say I searched Pinterest up and down trying to find a custom closet that wasn't super expensive to make.  It took a long time but I finally found one I liked.  I took inspiration from "David + Jen" 's nursery.  I would for sure take a look closely at how did they it.  We did not, and afterwards I wished I would because then I would have found out why their closet turned out with much bigger shelves than ours. (dang it!)

(They used two shelving units and cut one of them up for shelves)

I took pictures from both sides.  Jeff had a great idea to only have one shelf on one side so we could fit the bigger items like the stroller and I would say it turned out wonderfully.  We also have plenty of room for lots of hanging items.  You can see I barely have one bar filled up let alone all three.

So, there it is! A closet already full of diapers!

Nursery Update

I'm so excited to have gotten this far in the nursery already.  I feel like we are way ahead of the game which always makes me feel so much better and less stressed out.  I couln't have done this without my wonderful husband.  He has basically done everything I asked him to do just how I wanted it done and I love that he's just as much as a perfectionist as I am.  =) Check out what we have gotten done so far.

Now we just have to wait to fill it all up!

P.S. I'll post links to the items when it's all finished in case anyone wants to know where the items are from.
