What is a nursery without a guard cat? Demon has been doing a great job keeping the nursery free of...um...mice? She has been filling it with cat hair though so we will have to do a series of serious vacuuming before the Berry can claim her room! I have a feeling Demon is going to get a rude awakening when she realizes that we didn't make this neat room with a special chair and hiding fort (aka crib with dust ruffle thing) just for her.
I suspect I will be spending quite some time in this corner, so I'm working on making it as comfy as possible. The chair cushions are actually covered with an old sheet of mine that I loved but no longer use since it is full sized and our bed is a queen. The black lamp was a wedding gift but will work perfectly in the nursery. We're going to put a low light bulb, or possibly colored bulb, in the lamp so that it will give off a dim glow to help the baby and I stay in a nice sleepy mindset for those late night feeding sessions. It also has a series of small shelves which will be nice for holding a bottle of water or possibly a snack for me.
Our new changing table :) We weren't going to purchase one at first but a neighbor friend of my parents was willing to part with her old for just $40. We're thinking of putting it in the laundry room when we are done for additional storage down there. I covered the lower shelves with some beautiful contact paper I found at Habitat for Humanity Restore. $2 for 24 feet. I may have gone a little crazy with the paper...
I also found a good deal on the dark brown baskets. $25 for 5 baskets from Costco. The two smaller ones are holding my current cloth diaper set (BumGenius), the larger on the right is holding a stash of books, and the left is currently empty. I also have one of the larger ones downstairs as a catch-all container for our little animal things like nail clippers, brushes, treats, etc.
Right now the top is being used as my gift table. The overwhelming generocity of my friends already has me in (happy) tears.
