Nursery! (Kind of)

My husband and I had this great idea. We bought some land, and began constructing a small one-bedroom metal building, like a little apartment. That way, we could stop paying rent and actually invest it in something. The payment would be cheaper than rent too, and we could pay off student loans while we lived there. After a couple years, we could build a house and turn it into a guest house, or a workshop. Man, we were so smart. Enter baby: expecting a baby and living in a one bedroom house.


And that is where you see us today. That being said, we obviously don’t have a nursery. Luckily, we made the bedroom a little big so it is actually possible to share our room. It’ll be a little tighter than we had originally planned, but we can make it work. Most of her furniture will fit on one wall, for which we’ve coined the term “Nursery Wall.”

Dean really wanted to make this his project for her, and design/decorate her wall. I happily obliged, because he is much more creative than I am. Although, I find that we really make a great team when we work on something together. I put in my input, and he takes care of the crafty things.

This week, we started decorating the Nursery wall. (Picture quality isn’t that great, but you get the idea)

If you keep up with this blog, you know the bedding is black & white with a little bright pink trim.  So, we took white letters, painted on a black border and added pink polka dots.  Of course, when I say "we," I mean, Dean.

And, to put it in perspective.  Her crib will go underneath. 

It isn't quite finished, we had originally planned to frame covers from our favorite childrens books.  We have since decided to hang a few shelves and put the books themselves up.
