Porter's Nursery :)

Finally!

But first, some facts:

~ the nursery is also my room, and the bathroom I use to get ready and stuff.

~ we don't have a crib yet. i'm waiting until I get my own place to pick one out.

~ I made a lot of the stuff myself.

~ wall decals are a PAIN in the butt to put up, but I LOVE them!

~ the side of the closet that's closed...is full of my winter clothes.

~ i'm going to miss this nursery when I move out. but I am excited to decorate a new place! :)

~ sorry some of the pictures are kind of dark. Porter was sleeping in the pack-n-play in the middle of the room and I didn't want to turn on more lights or open the blinds.

Jeremy is on his LAST vacation before this baby arrives-he's in New Orleans with a few of his buddies having a "guys trip"....thankfully they are there a week before Mardi Gras...haha. So Charlotte came over last night and we had a sleepover :) We put some more stuff up in the nursery, then watched Dinner for Schmucks. Such an odd movie...good, but weird. Good actors in it though...funny stuff :)

I LOVE this quote...but some words of advice- these things are HARD AND ANNOYING to put on the wall. It was hard to get it straight and we had to kind of redo it, which made it even worse...we eventually got it up and looking good, but it took a while!

The frames I was talking about the other day. I used scrapbook paper inside the frames...turned out good :) Those were quite interesting to hang evenly too. Charlotte was up on the dresser with a measuring tape measuring away to get them even...

The clock I got the other day...now hung on the wall :)

I love this...I bought this decal on Amazon a long time ago and have been really excited to put it up...so awesome...a little bit of the outside on the inside :)

Hair before.... (ewwwwwwwwww)

During...

And after! So much better!!

(p.s. for everyone who thinks you can't get your hair done when you're pregnant, PHEWEY! I specifically asked my doctor and she said it was fine THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :)

And the clock I got for the nursery :) I like it...perfect color, and found it at the first store I looked!

I also got some frames for a nursery project as well...they need to be spray painted (which I am making Jeremy do when he gets home tonight, little does he know, thanks babe! hehe). I'll post a pic of that project when it's done!

A mobile I made for the nursery :) My grandma just told me she ordered one too, so i'll use one for above the crib and another for above the changing table probably...

(not the greatest photo, but it was really hard to get a lot of owls to face the way I wanted for the pic)

I made felt owls (like I did for Christmas ornaments a few months ago)...and bought this photo mobile on Amazon.com (which had alligator clips on the ends to hook the photos to, but I removed those because they were big and tacky)...

The nursery is happening! WOOHOOO!!

We picked up this dresser today...found on craigslist for a great deal...i love it...it's awesome :) I may change the knobs if I find some that I like...

One of the decals I got for the walls...this is the only one I've put up so far...waiting on the rest of the furniture to decide where the rest will go...

Painted :) (i have since this picture was taken put white outlet covers on all of the outlets...) (and sorry about the huge glare on the wall...there's a skylight in the room and it was impossible to take a pic without it...)
