Nursery Updates... and toddler room too!

This past weekend Justin finished sanding/painting the other bunk bed for Everly's room. Shortly after putting them up in her room, we headed to our favorite mattress store (R&S Mattress) to get Everly a new mattress. When my Dad gave me the beds they still had the same mattresses that my sister and I slept in when we were younger. Although the mattresses actually looked in pretty good condition, we wanted to get a new one for Everly to sleep on and we knew a twin would be relatively cheap. It was funny because she was acting tired and the whole trip took maybe 20 minutes, but she couldn't make it out of the store before falling asleep. The picture below looks like the mattress is smashing her head but she had her head like that before we even put the mattress in the car and she didn't wake up when Justin put it in. The bunk beds are put together in her room, but we will only allow her to be on the top bunk when we are in there with her. For now, the ladder will be tucked away in the closet. Also, we haven't picked out sheets yet so she is still dealing with some crappy purple ones (which she actually loves). I am so glad we were able to get these beds. It was so much more affordable than buying a new bed and I love that she has something handed down. Also, she has a big room and this really fills it up a little more.

 



 

 

She kept saying, "I love it!"



 

On Saturday I also went to Ikea and picked up a few things for the nursery. We got this kitchen cart to put next to the changing table to store diapers and wipes and things. I have been wanting one of these forever and I love it. I also got 4 of these spice racks. We painted them coral last night and are going to hang them and use them as little bookshelves. I got this rug because it was so dang cheap and also a couple of gold picture frames. I wanted curtains, but they discontinued what I was looking for so I will probably find some at target. The room is still messy, but it is coming together! Better late than never right...



I realized after we put the cart in here that I had absolutely zero newborn diapers, so I went to Target and bought a small package...just incase.

Super easy and cheap project. The shelves are $5 each!

Nursery and Toddler Room Updates

On top of getting some laundry done last weekend, we made some more progress on the nursery and on Everly's room. Justin finished re-painting one of Everly's bunk beds so we set it up in her room. This bed will actually be the top bunk one the other is finished (hopefully next weekend). Justin picked up some plain sheets to put on her bed until we figure out which bedding we want to go with. Everly (and Oscar) loved the bed. She immediately had to lay in it and jump on it. This also allowed Justin to take apart the crib and put it back together in the nursery. We have a lot of toys and other baby items (bathtub, bouncer, swing, bumbo, etc.) that we need to move out of the nursery and then it won't look so crazy in there. It is probably a little smaller than Everly's nursery was, but with the playroom across the hallway I am not worried at all. All she really needs to do in there is sleep and store her clothes! Hopefully I can get the rest of her bedding ordered this week and then we just need to work on decorating and art. My sister is going to help me make a tassle garland and Justin is going to make another mobile. Just over 6 weeks to go!

Loves it!

That wall totally looks black but it is actually navy like her crib sheet.

The dresser is starting to fill up with cute baby clothes!
