Baby Chessher's Nursery

Ready or not, Baby Chessher is on his/her way! The nursery is about complete and is ready for a new little occupant! Not knowing the gender of our baby hasn't been too difficult in the planning process...we've stuck w/neutrals all the way around and will add in bursts of more blue, or pink, when the time comes!

We bought the crib & changing table quite awhile before we got pregnant! For a grand total of $50 on Craigslist and exactly what I was looking for - jackpot! We threw it in the attic until the time was right! And, the bedding was given to us by some friends (it was used in their son's nursery) - for FREE! It's so beautiful and I knew we could work with it for a boy or a girl!

A view from the doorway. Dog has decided to nap in the nursery the past few weeks! I think she is ready to meet the baby!
Over the years, my aunt has helped me collect vintage chapter/storybooks! I've always wanted to use them in a kiddo's room! The boots were Scott's when he was a little boy & one of my dad's patients handmade the rocking horse!

We can't wait to share the beautiful view of our frontyard w/our little one! Not quite sure, yet, if we should anticipate poo & pee on the blinds and curtains, but oh well - it will all be part of the adventure of parenthood, right?!?

I am sure we will spend a lot of the first few months in this comfy rocker! This was Scott's Meemaw's chair! I plan on doing some sort of picture collage on the wall, above the chair, once we take our newborn photos!

This will be the monogram over the crib, in blue or pink, once we know what we are having!
The dresser is another great Craigslist find and the mirror I found in Scott's mom's garage! I spray painted it black to use in our hallway, but now I need to change it up w/some ivory paint! Maybe I'll get to it this weekend...! The small rocking chair was mine - a gift to me, on my 1st bday, from my grandparents!

Of course, the nursery will look a bit different over the next several weeks as we settle into life as a family of THREE and know if we'll be the parents of a SON or DAUGHTER!!! We think everyone should keep the gender of their unborn baby a surprise - the anticipation has been SO FUN! I mean, how many cool surprises do you get to have in this lifetime!?!
