LB3's Nursery Makeover

LB3's room has been a guest bedroom for the past 2 years.  This was our original nursery for Anniston and Treyson.  When we moved Anniston upstairs and Treyson down the hall 2 years ago, we slid the King bed into this space to have our "grandparent room".  I used the same crib bedding for Anniston and Treyson, but this time I just needed a change.

Here's the Before: (yes, our grandparent room didn't match for anything....but we weren't going to do anything major because--at that point--we weren't sure if we were done having kids!)

 My super sweet and super-duper talented friend, Amanda Reed (who owns Bibs and Cribs--look her up on FB) helped me come up with a very sweet, neutral vision that I am now totally in love with.  The first project was to re-do the lower half of the room by creating faux panels.  Thank goodness my husband is so handy :)

 My engineer hard at work.  He had everything sketched out and planned to a "T"

 We then bought a French Provincial dresser at a resale shop, and Jerry and the kids painted it to then later be distressed with paint.

 We got a fresh coat (of the same color) paint on the top half of the walls, then had the bottom half painted a glossy white.  I just LOVE how it turned out!  Amanda distressed the dresser and added in the accessories.  There are a few blank frames above the changing table/dresser that will be filled in soon!

 We got this crib (for free) from a super precious family who just wanted it out of their garage.  I''m so thankful that our friend Sarah got us into contact with this family.  We are so thankful!  It was already a ivory color, so Amanda just had to distress it, then we sealed it.  To the left are the 2 tubs of newborn clothes (1 boy tub/ 1 girl tub)......the Grandmas are going to wash these for us while we're in the hospital :)

 The built-in.  Still a work in progress, but I'm loving how it's coming along.  We are using some Childcraft books that were in my house as I grew up (non-internet/Google days).

 Dana Zirkle of Pish Posh Creations (website and FB) made the curtains and bedding.  She also made our first crib set.  We went to church with her.  She moved away to Kentucky, and now Nashville....but she is super talented and reasonable....I'm so glad she was able to make these curtains for us!  I love them!!

 The rocking chair!  We got this at a store in Rogers and spent way too much on it....however, I had a glider rocker before and my arm would get very uncomfortable while sitting in it to nurse in the middle of the night, so I knew I wanted something more comfortable.  Going with a deep brown will allow us to move it out into the living room some day. (excuse all of the bags on and to the side of the chair.....we've been packed for the hospital for a couple of weeks since I've been dilated to 3 cm....no such luck with the early delivery--ha!)

 I know a little boy and girl who are SO EXCITED to wear these shirts!!  I had so much fun making these for them :)

1 more day till we meet our little bit!!!  We are beyond excited!
