Baby Room: Plans

When we found out that Baby Brack was a Lady Brack, I immediately went to work creating a nursery mood board.  My first instinct was to keep it gender neutral for future babies, but I have too much fun decorating/choosing/designing/planning to leave the nursery the same for whenever baby dos happens, so feminine touches were allowed and encouraged.

The plant is just a place holder.  I think I am going to make a cactus plush plant similar to what Laura did here.

The dresser pictured is from Ikea, but it doesn't exist anymore.  Instead, I found a Craigslist dresser that we sanded and painted the peach color pictured.  

Here is the before.

I have a blank wall in which I don't know what to do with.  I like the idea of doing a woven art piece like this.

I love this room.  I find myself sitting in there and just looking around absorbing all of the future cuteness.  The dogs are already standing at the threshold waiting for permission to come in.  They know!
