Anatomy of a baby room

I had such a fun time putting the nursery together I thought I'd share some pictures with you.
Like probably all first time Mamas I was pretty excited to get a room all ready for our bun in the oven.
9 months is a long time to wait and a project like this is great way to feel like you are actually doing something to get yourself ready.
First step-
Paint.
This decision definitely took the longest and tried my husband's patience the most.
I ran to Walmart the day I decided gray was the color and of course I didnt buy a sample, I bought a whole gallon.
Once he cut the whole room in I called my interior designer friend over for an emergency team meeting.
Was the gray to purple? Answer- Yes.
The thing about paint colors is there are many many many hues to each color.
I was shocked how hard it was to find the right gray! Home Depot was the ticket and the paint was sorted.
Onto the fun stuff-
The crib was the first purchase ordered from Pottery Barn Kids.
Putting this together was the most exciting part.
My husband assembled it and I loved watching him do his first "daddy job."
I teared up a little when he was finished but ended up in sobs when we put the sheets on. CRAZY I know.
The Argington organic bedding was bought used online from Amazon and came in pristine condition. Im NOT paying $300 for sheets, thats insane.
The "Annabelle" sign and lanterns were shower gifts from www.Landofnod.com & the teddy bear is my 26 year old Puffalump.



The changer was also bought online from JCPenny.
They had the best prices for quality.



Kite was homemade gift from a friend.



Suitcases were shower gifts from www.Landofnod.com and rose pillow was from T.J.MAXX.



The table, lamp and elephant are from Target, shoes were a gift and the letter A and boxes are from Goodwill.



Flags were also homemade gift from a friend.



Ship in a bottle was a great score at Goodwill and driftwood sign was another homemade gift from a friend.



Now all I need is a baby! Come on out Annabelle :)
