I'm so excited to share the almost done pics of the nursery! In truth, it's been this way since last Thursday, but I had to wait until after the events of this past weekend to post because I wanted everyone on Saturday to be able to see it in person first.
Our wonderful handymen-Jesus and Carlos who helped us with our house after we first got it-graciously stopped by after work Thursday evening to install the light in the nursery as well as to put up the rod for the drapery. They are the masters of all things house related and B and I are very thankful for their expertise.
We ordered this pendant light from online retailer Serena & Lily. I had high hopes for it because Serena & Lily are known for their upscale products and my expectations were that their product would be high quality. Unfortunately, I can't say that I would order from or recommend ordering from them again. The lamp is cute (I love the polka dot detail on the inside of the drum), but the hardware is cheap and Carlos actually had to go out to the hardware store twice because there weren't enough parts to make it function as it should. Disappointing.
On the other hand, I am extremely happy with the rug that we ordered from Urban Outfitters. I signed up to receive e-mails from them and they sent me a 10% off code so the rug came in under $70, tax and shipping included. That's a steal for a 5x8 rug that really pulls the room together!
Because we literally just painted the house a few months ago, Blane didn't really want to repaint the baby room and I didn't blame him. So I had to get creative with how we were going to get some color onto our walls. Enter our drapery! We originally bought a rod+drapes at Pottery Barn Kids but I was walking around Target one day and found some other (cheaper!) drapes (and a rod) and they ended up working perfectly so we took the PBK stuff back. I love that the drapes inject much needed color into the room and having them go across the entire wall not only serves to effectively cover all light sources (we have both a door and a window in the room) but it creates the illusion of "paint" on one "wall" of the room. Perfecto!
Everything is coming together and it makes me so happy :D. There's still some finishing touches left-a side table for the glider, another lamp, bedding and some wall decor but all the major things are done. Yay!
