The Nursery

A lot of people have been asking about the nursery...is it finished? what does it look like? etc. I thought I would share a couple pictures with everyone. Chris worked so hard on this room! We decided to tackle stripes on the bottom part of the wall (that is a huge challenge if you haven't tried that before). I think it turned out pretty good. Chris also took a stab at putting up the chair rail all on his own. I'm so proud of him...we didn't have to call my dad once for any helpful hints!

Inevitably, we went for a sports theme in the room. I think it is a given that any child we have will be exposed to sports in one form or fashion in his or her life. We might as well start out early!

This is my attempt at a crafty project in Sam's room. Chris had a lot of old baseball, football and hockey cards from his childhood. We took the cards that hopefully aren't worth much (if anything) and did three wall hangings above the dresser. I think they turned out pretty good.

This is actually the bassinet that my mom, her sister and cousin used when they were babies. Since then, it has been used for me, my brother and three cousins. It is amazing that it is still in such great shape. My mom had it recovered for Sam. The original material from when I was a baby was still on it a few months ago. It was definitely time for a change. I don't think Chris was going to go for the gingham pink, yellow and blue for Sam. Right now, the bassinet is sitting in our room waiting for the big day.
