Now that we are past the halfway point, I feel a little more comfortable thinking about the nursery. I have expressed to several friends that after a pregnancy loss, you always feel like you are waiting for the other shoe to drop and for something to happen. But I am reassured as I feel the near constant flutters of the Dude. Hope springs eternal...
Here is the nursery. As a good friend once described commented, it is "minty". The green isn't horrible, but it is akin to falling into a tub of pistachio ice cream. If you're into that sort of thing.
Our nursery furniture is in really good shape, even if it is more traditional than I would go for now. We got these five years ago when furniture trends were very different. I asked MrDrama if he would paint them white, but he put the kibosh on that idea super-quick. Party pooper...
Our glider will probably be replaced by something that is a little more comfortable for me to fall asleep in. It is perfectly functional, but I think I want a more streamlined glider that is more like a side chair and is fully upholstered. My other option will be to slipcover it in a more modern cover. Not sure yet.
Ignore the random pool floatie behind the chair. I told you this room was a catch-all...
One thing I am eager to redo will be knobs on the furniture to attempt to modernize them a little. I am thinking some frosted glass ones like these or library cup pulls may do the trick. Ignore the piles of too-small 3T clothes piled on the changing table.
This is probably the best representation of the unfortuntate color in the nursery.
For the wall color, I am feeling the gray trend that has been all over the blogosphere. I was at a friend's home for a party and fell in love with the color on her walls. More on that tomorrow...
What color would you do in a bedroom for a boy?
