Baby Nursery {Phase One}...

Ryan got a baby crib for his birthday just what he always wanted!  We were super excited to finally have a little something in our house that says a baby's gonna live here soon!  This past Saturday Ryan put it together and  I thought it would make me feel better having something for the baby done but instead it made me think of all of the the things we still need to do.  I was feeling overwhelmed but it was awful sweet watching him put it together for Charlie.

That night while Ryan was out watching the game with the guys, I made a little trip to Meijer.  I honestly went to get cleaning supplies and laundry detergent but kinda ended up coming out with a complete nursery.  I pretty much got the core look going and I have to say I am in love!!!  The only item that came from the baby department was the sheet for the crib.

I am loving it and so is Ryan.  It's very girlie and sweet with that collected over time kind of look that I was going for.

Other things we need still: the antique rocker my mom is giving us {that was my great, great grandmothers} a bookshelf or some wall hooks, possibly different curtains, changing pad and a cute cover,  some kind of shelving or wall hooks, a light fixture, some vintage quilts, and the closet still needs to be cleaned out and organized, and the pictures above the dresser still need to be painted to match the room.

But I feel like we are off to a good start.  Me and Ryan can randomly be found standing in the door way just looking in and thinking what it is going to be like having a baby sleeping in that crib.

Here is what it looked like before:
