The Nursery

It's time to start getting the nursery ready. I am sticking to my original plan of a gender neutral nursery, even though we were told that we are having a girl just last week! I am really not into the typical baby room decor where everything is "matchy matchy", the crib has a frilly skirt and the windows have a valance that matches the bedding.

I got these graphic leaf pattern curtains custom made (Etsy) and had them in the bedroom of my last house. I think they will be great for the baby's room. We are going with a bright yellow paint for the walls - either Martha Stewart "Egg Yolk" or Benjamin Moore "Yellow Highlighter". 


I am trying to purchase most baby items from Kijiji.  I am proud of the great deals I have got so far!
I plan on changing the fabric on the Glider, but other than that it's in great condition.
  • Change Table - free
  • Crib - $80
  • Rocker/Glider - $100

I did choose to buy a new mattress for the crib (see post: Organic Baby Crib). I purchased this from a great local retailer, Tummies to Tots. The staff is very helpful and I can't say enough about supporting businesses in our community!


I found a great decal company located in British Columbia - Urban Walls. I am a big fan of wall decals because they are an affordable way to make a huge impact in a room. The design I am going with is "Trees" for $99.00. You can choose your own colours for the trees and the birds. I have selected Charcoal for the trees and will go with either White or Turquoise for the birds.


I will post some photos once the room is complete!
