Nursery {Update and the Rug & Glider!}

We have received all the "big" pieces for baby E's nursery! The rug came in a week or so ago and over the weekend, the glider was delivered. We love it. It is so comfortable and fits perfectly in the spot I had planned (Whew!) Also, we put up new blinds, curtain rods, and window panels.

Notice the new knobs on the top 4 drawers :)


If I'm in the nursery, he is right there with me!

Cash is always very interested in anything we bring in the nursery. I set these bags on the dresser and later saw him sitting and staring up at them (as you can see), and he may or may not have been whining ;) He's going to be REALLY curious when we bring home a living, breathing baby!


It's all coming together! Now really all we have left are some DIY projects (me) and to hang frames and shelves on the walls (J). Since we are two months away from her due date (2 months yesterday!!), I thought it would be good to update the nursery "to-do" list!

To do:
- Empty room, move furniture from guest room to office
- Organize closet (she and I will be sharing!); including organizing her clothes by size and hanging vs not hanging and using hanger tags
- Change light fixture- will probably do a fan

Purchased (aka DONE! :)
- dresser/changing table(assembled and in the room)
- Sheep Rocker (this was J's pick and a great find at the PB Outlet!)
- elephant prints for above crib
- picture ledges most likely to go above dresser
- window panels: now hanging!
- bookshelf (assembled and up in the room!)
- rug has been ordered: delivered and in the room
- ottoman for glide: just needs to be covered
- crib skirt: still need to add trim to bottom
- hamper for diapers

Still need:
- glider (still working on the color)
- crib
- fabric: I am pretty sure I have decided on the fabric!!
- bedding: crib sheet(s)- found several I like, just need to narrow it down to 2 or 3; bumper (undecided)- bought an almost new bumper from a friend of a friend that I am going to cover
- lamp for dresser/changing table
- frames for prints (thinking diy...)
- prints/photos for picture ledges
- baskets for shelf
- pretty hardware for dresser/changing table

To make:
- ruffle lamp shade (I want to try this using the floral fabric)
- sew floral fabric (or solid fabric- thinking light pink) to bottom of crib skirt
- frames for elephant prints (using this tutorial)- thinking about doing 3 different patterns or 2 of 1 pattern and one other- stripes, dots, chevron- using white, pale pink, aqua, and maybe a gold?? Decided to just buy some cute frames :)
- mobile
- ottoman slipcover

To decide:
- BEDDING!?: almost there!
- Glider color
- to use or not to use? and if so, where? (of course she'll need a name first, ah!!)- still not sure on these and STILL no name!
