. Life of a Blonde: Nursery

A lot of people have asked us "what color are you doing the nursery since you don't know what you are having?" That was easy - we painted the guest room asparagus green when we first moved in, I did this knowing that some day it would possibly be a nursery. Then I added lots of fun bright colors for our little one.

The closet is full - we are very thankful for all the gifts we received at the baby showers! We could use more sleepers and clothes, but I'm going to wait and buy gender appropriate clothing since we have a lot of yellow and green stuff already. The dresser is stocked with toys, bath stuff, and blankets.

I sewed the buttons on the top of the curtains to add a little color, and the cute little button chair I got at a Just Between Friends Sale for only $40.
My mom purchased the vintage lamp and the mobile hanging above the glider at a thrift store and garage sale. I guess they sell for as much as $100 on ebay - Got to love thrifty finds! Vintage Mother Goose Mobile on Ebay and Vintage Irmi Wood Ferris Wheel Lamp

The glider we purchased off of Craig's List for $100, it's a Shermag and they can retail for around $400. It came from a nice family who used it for their 2 kids. It just needed a little cleaning and it's perfect for our nursery.
The items on the shelves are from when Tom & I were little, and the dresser was Tom's growing up. We recently spent an evening going through stuff from when we were little and looking at our own baby books - it was fun to see what our parents wrote about us when we were babies.

I have 2 boy and 2 girl outfits ready to go. The top hat on the guitar was Grandpa Buckley's - I can't wait to take pictures of our little baby in it and wearing it.
