My Nursery!!!!

Welcome to my room! My daddy worked for months on this room and...about 36 hours before I am scheduled to make my appearance...he is finished! I had mom and dad include a "before" picture to show you how much he changed (see the link at the bottom for this picture). He began by putting up the beadboard, 3" baseboards, and crown molding...whatever that is! Then he painted all the wood in the room (all those things I just listed) ivory. Next, he painted the walls pink and the ceiling a lighter shade of pink. He also painted the curtain rod and the letters above my crib. I think he did a great job and is the best dad ever!

Mom's part was to shop. Notice the chair and ottoman...that took some explaining, well - a lot of explaining, to dad. The furniture wasn't a hard sale. In fact, it was dad that insisted on it. But I have been reminded it will stay with me through college! My crib turns into a toddler bed and then a double bed. There is also a matching nightstand and dresser. My mom is in love with the artwork she found. I have been reminded that I have nicer artwork than her and dad do!

The curtain was from my friends Maddy, Mackenzie and Drew Mazer. Really, their grandma handmade it for their room but it worked so perfectly in mine it looks like it was made for it! Vicki (that's their grandma) is the bomb!

Once you click the link below, you will be able to see my room from many angles. I would like to point out that my daddy even painted my closet. In fact, the closet rods are black to match my furniture...for some reason he was really excited about that.

I hope you like my new room! I can't wait to come home to it! Daddy and Mommy say if I am not here by Wednesday, September 19th (my Uncle Greg's birthday) they are coming in after me! So, sounds like I will be meeting you guys (at least over the Internet) soon!

Your nursery is so beautiful - Emmi is yet again such a lucky little lady. I can't wait to see photos of her. I bet she does decide to come on her own, that's the way us women are - we've got our own agenda!!

Love and Prayers.
