Nursery Photos

Ok guys, so here is my attempt at Nursery Photos. And by that I mean, I am terrible at taking pictures of indoor spaces. Everything looks so cramped and condensed. Granted, it IS a bit cramped, since we had to combine a guest bedroom and a nursery, but I promise it's not as bad as it looks in photos. Also, after looking at some nursery photos that are so "perfect," I realize ours is not like that. We didn't have much of a theme, except I wanted everything in really bright colors. You will see we went more towards lime greens, blues, and oranges, but there's a bit of everything. So, without further ado, here is our very un-themed, unprofessional Nursery. I think he'll love it :)

Ok, terrible picture here, but it's the widest angle I got. You can see you the room functions as both nursery and guest room.

We wanted a little bit of Monte in the room, for after he's gone...

Ikea dresser/changing table.

We had these special made. They are hand painted on wood. Again, it's a good thing B is involved to pick out "little boy stuff" or we would have ended up with jungle animals instead of adorable robots.

Bear snuck into a photo here...

And then, since we had limited space due to the guest bedroom, we decided to convert a space in our living room that had previously been under-utilized as a sitting area. So now, it's a Play Area and place to nurse or rock the baby.

And that's it. Considering it's a rented house (aka no fun painting to be done), I think it turned out pretty well. The rocker is now my favorite place to sit in the evening and blog from and dream about the future. I hope he likes it!

  1. Ohhh it's super cute, it makes his imminent arrival all the more exciting. I am in love with the whale painting, the giraffe and the aerostatic balloons :) Also the rocking dinosaur!
    I really like it, you have a lot of space!

  3. Cute! I think you did a great job tying everything together with the color scheme. I love tasteful, non-themed nurseries! That living room corner is especially sweet -- I can imagine you'll have a ton of memorable moments there with the little guy!

  6. So cute! I love all the pictures. We got the same dresser in white. We also are making a corner of our living room a baby area. Still working on that, though. Having babies early really messes with making all the baby preparations.
    I need to post photos but my mother in law is currently camped out in our nursery so I have to wait until she leaves and it's clean again.
    I am ready for you to have this baby now. :) I'm so excited for you!

  8. I love it! I love the different colors and photo bombing kitty! We are putting our furniture up on Friday but like you, have no particular theme. I do think it's easier to do a girls nursery...
    Also, like you, we are in a rented property so limited as to what we can do/paint etc.
    Hope you're doing ok - I am well and truly ready to evict this baby now! :)
