Nursery Progress - The Crib!

Scott and I have been working hard getting the nursery ready - it's been so fun! We have pretty much everything for the room, things just need to be put together and there are still things I want to make. The crib is totally completed though- now all it needs is a little guy to sleep in it!

(I love Winston guarding the crib in this picture)



Some lovies waiting for the baby- Thanks Cheryl and Nana!

After searching EVERYWHERE and not being able to find any bedding in these colors (that didn't cost a million dollars), I decided to make my own. Then I decided this job should be left to a professional to avoid having it all fall apart. I found Noeske Notions through one of my favorite design blogs, Copy Cat Chic. I am SO happy with the finished product- they did an amazing job. I did tackle the crib skirt on my own using this super-easy tutorial from Young House Love. The fabrics can be found here:
Yellow Stripes: Premier Prints Lulu Stripe
Crib Skirt: Dwell Studio Boteh Jade
Gray Damask Ties and Piping: Dena Medallion in Gray

And of course, last week I got the new Pottery Barn Kids catalog and they now have a gray and white bumper. But I'm still in love with ours :-).

As soon as we finish the rest of the room, Marci is going to come take pictures with her fancy new lens!

  2. LOVE it all!!! I can't wait to see it in person and see the room when it is all done. I think you need that yellow plane from Home Goods though...I forgot there was yellow in his bedding!

  3. oh this is just so cute! I love it! It is hard to find cute stuff without just making it yourself. I am going to have to write down that blog and maybe have them help me get some projects done!
