So, I'm finding that life with two boys is a little crazy, but I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of the nursery!
His name on the old window was my first and only attempt at using vinyl.
Marc is so talented and he did the beautiful wainscot and trim around the doors and windows. We actually did this same wainscot in our old house, in the nursery that was supposed to be for Griffin, but we ended up moving and then didn't have time or money to do it in this house before Griffin was born. So, we got to do it for this room and baby Luke. Did any of that last run-on sentence make any sense? Anyway, this room is bigger and will eventually be the room that our boys will share someday in the future.
I was looking for fabric when I was about 5 months pregnant and found this cute line by Michael Miller (which also happens to be my dad's name). I fell in love with the vintage bicycles and sort of took off from there.
I found the above print on etsy! I love that it went so perfectly with my theme.
This rocking chair is one of two that I got from my Grandma Oli when she died. This was by far my LEAST favorite project for the nursery. Painting all of those spindles and making new cushions...It was hard and time consuming and I was pregnant and tired before I even started. The cushions were especially frustrating because I didn't know what I was doing and they look pretty pathetic!
I enjoyed making the bedding. It was a much more rewarding project for me. I had to piece some of the fabric for the crib skirt which was annoying, but at least I didn't have to buy more:)
I made these pillows too! The bicycle I actually cut out with my cricut and ironed it onto the fabric. And I used up a lot of my left over scraps on the little pillow.
This room has been so fun to put together! I love it and I think Baby Luke does too!
Way back when Luke was 2 weeks old, we got some newborn photos taken. My friend, Ricks, told me about Fotofly and I would recommend them too! They were quick and edited that same day so that I could get my announcements out.
Ok, so brace yourself... the following collage might just shock you!
What happened between month 1 & 2 you ask? I'm not sure who gave my newborn steroids, but I sure do love this little giant!

The room is darling! The boy is even more darling and I like big babies! YOU are the most darling and talented of all. I've got a new chair, wanna help me decorate? Love you sister! Xoxo
You're amazingly talented. Wanna come decorate my house?
Everything is amazing: the room, the photo shoot, your giant 3 month old...your all-around talents shock me!
And would Marc ever come wainscot a room in my house? No, seriously. Will you ask him? I need it done. Let me know if he'd ever do it and what his rates run:)
You are so talented it sickens me! I am so jealous of Luke's nursery. I never even did a nursery for Ollie. He is in Keaton's old room that has Keaton's name written on the walls. Third child syndrome is setting in. Luke is such a handsome guy too. I can't believe how much he's growing!
SOOOO CUTE! I know everyone else has asked as well, but are you also ready to do Ivy's nursery? :) thanks, I appreciate it.
I know that you pretty much can't do my nursery because I am 2000 miles away, but I am going to send you pictures and ask for some advice. This is the perfect time (37 weeks along) to do this project. I'll probably just take it to Target for most stuff. You remain the craftiest person I know!!
I love that Luke is so big! It's so cute!!
