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!
