The Nursery...Part II

Finally, it is all coming together. Things have been super busy around here (and the days that aren't, it takes all I have to just sit on the couch!) This 95+ degree weather is killing me! At least we have the pool - though it is the temperature of bath water!

The nursery is almost complete. I still have a few little accessories to add, but overall, it is done!

We went and got Hank an outfit to wear home from the hospital (or at least to have his picture made in at the hospital) today. We went to Janie & Jack and Drew had a field day (luckily, they are having their BIG sale right now.) Their line of boy clothes are right up Drew's alley! We ended up spending close to $200 and only about $50 of it was on Reese! But, Hank does have some cute clothes now. I can't wait to see him in them.

Reese had her 15 month check up last week. She is very healthy and has grown like a weed! She went from being in the 40th percentile for height to the 70th (almost 32" tall!)! She is still in the 50th percentile for weight (at about 22.5 pounds). She still refuses to talk, but has definitely master fit throwing!

The Nursery...Part I

The nursery is starting to come together. Drew really wanted a Vols nursery, but I couldn't bring myself to an all orange room with the commercial crib bedding sets out there. So, I set out to make an understated Big Orange room (if that is possible). The crib bedding was definitely the hardest part. I didn't have a pattern, so needless to say, the seam-ripper was used quite a bit during this little project.

The mobile has little Smokies and plays "Rocky Top!"

The stripes on the walls turned out to be more difficult than anticipated, too. The white paint pealed off when I removed the tap so I had to sand the stripes and start over!

My favorite part, though, is the picture. I bought Reese an antique framed print for her nursery and so when I found this print at Tennessee Sports Zone, I didn't hesitate. It is titled "Breakfast of Champions" and has all the SEC mascots in Smokey's bowl! I love it!

Once I get the rest of the furniture in the room and get the art on the walls, I think the room is going to be perfect!
