So I'm starting to pull together the theme and the main pieces for the nursery. Slowly its all coming together. I haven't actually set anything up yet since the room needs a fresh coat of paint, and we are still missing a few of the main elements (like a changing table or dresser). However, it has been really fun picking out all the different stuff and I thought I would share our progress.

| This is the bedding set we choose. Its a little brighter than this is real life, but I love it. My favorite part was the mix of circles and stripes, which were visually interesting but still look like they are for a baby. |

| Up-close of the nursery bedding. I liked the nature theme, and I liked that it wasn't just the traditional baby blue. |

| These are wall cards (one for every letter) we purchased to hang around the room. Since we can't paint the room a fun color (since we only rent our house) I thought these were a good way to add color and interest. They are 5" x 7" and I intend to hang them as a border around most of the room. Plus they are nature-themed to go with the bedding. They are currently my favorite thing we have gotten - however, I'm still trying to figure out how to hang them. |

| This is the crib we purchased, only not the right color. This was actually the very first thing we purchased for the baby's room, right when we first found out I was pregnant. It is from Restoration Hardware's Rowan collection, and we got such a great deal on it we couldn't pass it up. |

| This is the color we choose. |

| This is the toy storage bin we have gotten. It is super cute but not that big, so we will probably have to pick up a couple more. The top is also padded, so Henry can use it as a little seat. |

This is a vinyl wall hanging for one of the walls. The colors match the bedding perfectly, even though they are from different collections from different stores. Its not quite as tall as I would like, but the price was right.
We also have a classic rocking chair that Morgan's mom gave us. Since it doesn't match the crib's wood color, I think I'm going to paint it the green color of the bedding. That way we get a little more color in the room. But I think that's it for now. We are still missing storage, changing table/dresser, and accessories, but thankfully we still have plenty of time! |
