Baby on the Brain

Well, that, and on my bladder.

But what I really want to say is that I'm really enjoying watching Baby Boy Blue's nursery come together. The room is still a little sparse, but it's now completely ready for all the fun little additions like bedding and accessories.

I just love this beautiful canvas we have to work with now.

So far we've cleaned out and gutted the room. You may remember this before mess of a picture.

My husband valiantly tackled the walls and added wainscoting.

Then it was time for some fresh paint (thanks to some wonderful help). The room just feels larger with the brilliant white set against the light chocolate background.

Mmmm, chocolate.

Really though, the silky brown conveys a sense of reliability, stability, simplicity, and comfort.

Brown gives a feeling of relaxation and makes you feel cozy, safe and warm.

While the fresh white space will help soothe and symbolizes purity, simplicity, cleanliness, peace, innocence, and birth.

And, I just like the way it looks.

We're almost there... the carpets have been cleaned and the crib and changing table re-finished.

It's just about time to spread around these soft, baby-friendly and colorful accessories we've been saving. These colors are really going to pop against the clean lines and oh-so-calming nursery background.

And we can't forget that we've slowing been stocking the closet with the most adorable, and utterly necessary finds.
