have i ever shown you?

I don't think I have posted many pictures of what I decorated the nursery to look like when we were expecting the baby. I'm still not happy with the wall treatment over the crib and will most likely tweak it at some point. This, of course, was decorated for a girl, but the walls are turquoise and the furniture is white and the rocking chair/recliner is blue-green. We have boy bedding as well, with safari animals and such.

My husband hooked up the iPod to a pair of flower shaped speakers, so that we could have lullabies and such when we were rocking her. The recliner is actually my dad's from my parents' house. When he passed away, I asked for it and planned even then to make it the rocker in our future nursery.

The dresser is actually an adult size dresser that we found at Sofa Express. I am not a huge fan of child sized furniture, so we chose this. It is stocked right now with little girl clothes. mostly donated, but very cute nonetheless.

Charlie and I picked out all the frames and things together, knowing that I would be taking tons of pictures. I am very excited to see what I might be able to fill them with one day.

I just thought that you would like to see a little tour of the nursery. Some days I don't mind walking past it and looking in the doorway. Other days, I have the door closed and I ignore the room.

Any ideas, let me know.

Also, did you notice that Blogger added multiple pages? I added two pages on the sidebar to add backstories to our adoption process should someone want to read the complete story. If a birth mom should stumble across this blog, I want the stories and pictures just a click away. Check 'em out if you want to see more pics of the husband and I, plus read our story. They are right under our picture.
