Walk Down Nursery Lane

By Moriah on October 10th, 2008

So.

Kelly of Kelly’s Korner is hosting the Nursery Tour ’08, which is open all weekend.

Tonight I dug out my kids’ baby books in order to participate and ohmyword, I had forgotten how fat Drew’s cheeks were. Really something to behold.

Anyway, in the spirit of nursery displays, old and new alike, here are ours:

(This is the rental we lived in when we were first married. The walls were yellow so I felt obligated to pick a nursery theme that matched the walls but was still boyish. I found this one at Babies ‘R’ Us.)

When we got pregnant with Drew, we converted half of the guest room into his room, which is why this screen is up. It divided the space nicely. (Although once we had a baby in there, it ceased functioning as a proper guest room. Ahem.)

This is in our house, where we are now. We continued our tradition of putting the baby in the guest room, as you can see:

(Also, that antique cradle was mine when I was a baby. Drew slept in it, too.)

And, second child that she was, Madeline lived out of plastic bins for the first months of her life:

(Not that she was ever aware.)

And finally, our current nursery (previously featured during Boomama’s Before & After carnival):

(That is the exact same “guest” room, pictured above. Looks different, doesn’t it?!)

So there you have it, our nursery pasts and present.

Share and Enjoy:

Awww, I am in nursery planning mode right now.

My parents lent me the cradle that I slept in as well and I just finished making the bedding for it. I am SO excited to use it.

I’ll have to do a finished nursery post when I am…you know…finished with it :)

I love all the wall trimmings! Both nurseries are precious! Thanks for your ideas on how I could integrate the cranberry trim! I’m excited to see it all come together. I hope you have a great weekend!

Fun to see, made me wonder if I have taken pics of all our nursery set-ups the last four years….
It was fun to see Drew’s again! Seems so long ago now.
