Nursery time!

 As promised to some sweet friends, here are some pics of the nursery.  I'm sorry the quality is bad in some of these.  Everything seems to look dark and tan in these pics-----it's a mixture of bad lighting and my not so professional camera skills.  Come see it in person, and it will look much more airy and fresh!  

Here we go---come on in!

I got little Mary Claire sister a letter for her door to match her siblings.  It really helps dress up plain non-panel 70s doors if you have 'em!

Gigi gave her this precious vintage chair.  Would love to have known who sat in this once upon a time!

Snagged a new changing table for her this go round.  (The ones I used for the other kiddos were just dressers, and it always bugged me how the pad would slide around--so I knew this time I wanted a legit one with sides to hold it in!)
The mirror used to be in AM's room, but we've changed some things for her too so it got a new location.

Pinterest project #1!  If you have not yet discovered it, you need to!   (Pinterest, that is.)  I found these vintage frames at one of my many estate sales and took out the atrocious pictures.  Then I added some ribbon strips, and voila---a place to clip and display those teeny tiny bows!

Pinterest project #2!  (The ruffled shade)  This lamp is really special and sweet to me because it was Mimi's.  It was all brass, Sean spray painted it, and then I added the ruffled trim.  Quick change!

My sweet high school besties gave me this bookshelf for AnnMarie's nursery.  Fun to use it again!

The window wall

A quick shout out to Mrs. Nancy Maness (my sewing teacher) who so graciously agreed to "help" me sew these curtains, but then in the end ended up finishing them for me!!!!  She said she wanted me to be able to rest, and let me tell you it turned out to be such a blessing to me!  This picture does not do them justice, but they are beautiful!

One of my favorite little finds--this poof!  

Grandmommy gave AnnMarie this vintage doll furniture set, and it's been so fun to have it in the nursery!

Found some baskets at Ikea (score!) on our "Babymoon".  

The crib wall---still need to find some goodies to finish out the shelf, and still waiting on the bumper pad to be finished.  It's a very plain linen fabric the same color as the curtains.  Since those letters and curtains have such busy prints, I wanted the bumper to be on the plainer side with a ruffle.  No rush--she won't be in here for awhile! :)

That's Gigi in the picture, and that's the actual sweater she was wearing.  Yes, it's  a different color than in the picture, but in the fifties they had to "paint" the color on---and they made it blue! 

Baby Mimi and more of the sweet vintage doll furniture 

Another "reuse" from AnnMarie's nursery---the mobile

Gigi's Christmas present to Mary Claire---fun to see her monogram!

Love this precious smocked pillow given to AnnMarie by my mom's other friend, Nancy, who is now happily singing with the angels in heaven!  What a treasure to remember her by!
(And I picked up that little angel for her----wonder if she'll be a brunette?)

Her name hanging over the crib---the sisters have these matching letters in their rooms.  So fun to say "sisters"!

A cute little vintage dress I picked up recently

And last but not least, the gear packed and ready to go to the hospital---going home gown, boppy, carseat, and diaper bag.  Oh--and a couple gifts to the big kids from their baby sister.  :)
We're ready!  Come on, Mary Claire!
