And so I listened.
The lighting fixture was purchased at Pottery Barn Kids. Husband installed it one afternoon with no trouble or assistance. I had debated on whether or not to change out the fixture as the original light was in good condition... since it was less than a year old. I'm glad that I did it as I think it adds a lot to the room.
I was super excited to find a crib that is considered "low-profile" since neither Husband or myself is very tall. I loved the simple lines of the crib and seeing how this would be a piece of furniture that most likely would be used again I didn't want to go overly ornate or frilly since we could have a son at some point. The bedding was one of two choices from Serena and Lily... Husband made the final decision and I loved the French and Indian motifs. Finding the bedding helped me make fabric decisions.
The Indian inspired storage baskets, although rather expensive, have became a favorite of mine for their practicality. The pink textured curtain panels were made by my grandmother. I think they add a lot of drama to the room. The shelving unit was a bargain buy from Target. It is one of those build-it-yourself jobs and for what it costs, if it gets destroyed in a couple of years-- oh well. It serves the purpose. At some point I hope to line the back of the unit with fabric left over from my rocker.
Since the room already had a built in desk I decided to use this space as a changing station. It will be several years before the baby can sit at a desk and do homework, so in the time being, I purchased a curtain from Land of Nod and had my mother hem it to the right length. A tension rod hold it in place. Behind the curtain is room for me to store baby items like diaper boxes and other items that I may not want to display. The built-in cabinets store wipes and diapers from our showers and also can be a place to keep burp cloths, bibs, baby towels and all sort of baby goodness.
Currently the baby sleeps in her bassinet and has yet to spend more than a few hours in her room since birth. I'm hoping that once she gets a little older that she will spend many happy nights and days in this room!
