I love how relaxing it is! You did a great job. I can't wait to post pics of ours either, but I'm so freak OCD that I won't take a single pic until it's completely finished.

Good job!

the quote posters i made by typing up my quotes (i use adobe illustrator) and having them printed as 8x10 matte photos. i just popped them into frames from ikea.

Did you make your white crib bumper too?

I know this is late but just want to say that I love everything about your nursery!

Michele & Mark Eschenbacher said...

Hi! Love your nursery! In fact I love it so much that I am modeling a lot of our baby boys after it!

Can you tell me where you got the shelve above the changing table? I am having a hard time finding one deep enough to fit baskets!

Thank you!
Michele

nina - the crib bumper is a breathable mesh one from amazon or babies r us - it velcros on.

michele - the shelves are from home depot. plain white shelves and metal brackets with plastic coverings. they are the cheapest i could find. i had really wanted to do white LACK from ikea but they were out all spring.

thanks again, everyone :)
