I finally put the finishing touches on the nursery (nearly six and a half months after Emrick moved into it… with most of that time spent NOT working on it) and I like it. It’s not as polished-looking as some of the ones I’ve seen online, but it’s still pretty cute. The last thing I bought for the nursery, and probably the best bargain, is the orange storage ottoman in front of the glider — just $12.80 after a coupon and tax at Big Lots!! And yes… orange! When I was looking for nursery decorating ideas, I found that the colors I was most drawn to were blue, white, green, and brown, in soft shades, which went well together. But as much as I liked those colors, they seemed to be missing any “pop”, so I decided to add a few bright orange accents. I am thinking the changing dresser could still use something…
Freshly diapered and dressed for the day!
So that’s what the nursery looks like, and that’s what Pookie looks like when he wakes up in the morning (except he doesn’t usually have to wait for me to take a bunch of pictures before I get him out of his crib and change him). But as cute as his nursery is, the pictures below illustrate why he is not yet ready for unsupervised play time in it:

Looks Great! You can leave him in there, just slip him in a straight jacket. He is just looking super adorable!
Both the nursery and it’s occupant look perfect! Of course, except for Emrick himself, nothing in your house will ever look perfect for more than thirty minutes again for the next twenty years. You could put giant round orange knobs on the changing dresser– to add to the decor and slow Emrick down on opening the drawers. But you might have to just remove all the drawer pulls. Anyway, I think Emrick looks pretty pleased with his room.
The nursery looks perfect! Good job Shona! and the most perfect thing in there is the Pook!
I have a severe case of ugly doll envy. Emrick is a very lucky boy to have such a nursery!!

Isn’t he, though? I am thinking of taking it over for myself 🙂
