Baby Owen's Nursery

I've been meaning to post pictures of O's nursery for quite some time, and finally we had good light in the afternoon so I could take a few. I am so happy with the way it turned out, it is actually my favorite place in the apartment - it smells like Owen and the time we spend together in here just melts my heart. So many months of planning and "bed rest nesting" turned into this. It was well worth the wait. I hope Owen enjoys it as he grows and explores.

Since we are renting we chose not to paint the walls, I think the existing neutral color works well.

The prints are custom from Etsy designer Lucky BlueBird

The alphabet cards are from Eboo hung with care by Jeremy

The little yellow table I bought at Urban Outfitters for our room, but it was much too low for our bed. It works perfectly in the nursery, I have my breast pump on it and a touch lamp which has been a lifesaver for night feedings. We actually liked the lamps so much we bought another set for our room!

I found some bookshelves I liked at Pottery Barn but they were WAY too expensive, so my dad made these three shelves for Owen. This is probably Owen's favorite part of the room, he pops off the boob constantly to look at his books and when he's done eating stares at the shelves until I read him a few. It's adorable!

The changer is actually a swedish-style TV stand that works perfectly - especially for a taller daddy. I love how the legs at the bottom angle out and the wood matches the drawer on the crib. I found the baskets at Crate and Barrel and they fit exactly. We fill them with diapers, wash cloths and changing pad covers - very convenient!

Crib is Baby Mod from Wal-Mart

The glider was my birthday present from Jeremy, it is Carter's brand from Babies R Us. I love that the ottoman also glides with it. We found it on sale and then used a 20% off coupon to get it at almost half the retail price!

Train rug is from Overstock.com and was a last minute choice. It is so soft and plush with a thick pad underneath, makes for a perfect surface for a baby to play and crawl on.

Every night before bed, we play the BabyMine CD that is loaded up on a nursery playlist on the iboo! Jeremy found this fun ipod dock for the nursery and we love it. Just enough sound to fill the room and I can use the remote to start the playlist while nursing Owen in the glider.

I grab my feet now!
