Nursery

I am definitely feeling like it is crunch time and I've supposedly still got 3 months left. Baby Redbull is due February 14Th! I'm now starting to get questions from people at the church about what our nursery theme is.

We are going more grown up than little kiddish, my honey and I aren't really into the whole "baby" look, although we are SO excited to meet Baby Redbull. The walls are staying dark tan on the bottom and ecru on the top :) I am making a few sock monkeys to go with the one that was my dad's when he was little ( I love sock monkeys, lets hope Baby Redbull does too!). We are having a dresser and a nightstand painted deep maroon/red with bronze tops and black nobs (for some color), and the bedding will most likely be very geometric browns, tans, white and ecru. I love plants, we will definitely have some sort of banana tree/palm type plant in there- cant have a room without plants! The crib we registered for is an espresso brown, our favorite wood color and I am currently looking for a rocking chair.

I like the look of this one from IKEA:

But am not sure, as I have heard mixed reviews on it. I would love to have it stained an espresso color as well and pick some sweet fabric to recover the cushion in. We will see.

I feel like the time is just ticking away and there is so much left to do! This last week we put up shelving in our bedroom so we could get our clothes out of Baby Redbull's room, and we are putting in a storage breakfast bench/nook in the kitchen for more family friendly seating (our other table is counter height and a nook seems more relaxed). Now we've got to organize, organize, organize and get Baby Redbull's room in order. So excited!
