The Inspiration behind Baby P's Nursery

So anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Giraffes! When we found out we were expecting there was no doubt in my mind that Giraffes needed to play a part in the nursery. How many times do you get to buy tons of giraffe things without looking like a weirdo???

Anyways on a shopping trip out one day I stumbled upon my favourite craft store (*cough* Michaels *cough*) and found these adorable wooden cut outs. The instantly became the inspiration for Baby P's nursery. 

I am thinking now I may make them into a mobile, as my mom is going to use them when she makes the crib bedding. If people have other ideas about what to do with them... just let me know!!!!

Our Front Hallway

So this isn't necessarily Baby P related but Curtis' dad did an AMAZING job and made us a deacon's bench for our front hallway. Again Curtis did an AMAZING job staining and finishing the bench and we finally got it into our front hallway today among other things. Take a look at how our Front Hallway now looks!!!!!

Some pictures of the room in it's early stage of completion......

Here are some pictures once we got things in and straightened around. Please don't judge my appearance. My hair is not done, nor do I have makeup on as I spent all day working.... but I figure there will be worse pictures of me while popping this kid out, so get used to it :P

Dresser

One more time. Curtis again gets high praise for all of his "handyman" skills. We decided to put the dresser in the closet so that all clothes and things would be together. Plus this left us lots of room to put a rocking chair and some sort of bookshelf into the remaining space of the room.

Putting the Crib together and in the room

Same thing. Curtis did a great job of sanding, staining and varathaning the crib as well. Here we are assembling and putting it into the nursery!!

Putting the Change Table together

After Curtis finished sanding, staining and varathaning the change table, he battled to put it back together. Here is the during shots and the after shots of it in the room!

Pictures of the Room after it was painted!

Here is the room painted but with no furniture. You will see what I mean by difference in colour!
