Once the room was painted, we ordered her crib and a matching dresser. We had narrowed down our selection of cribs to two; one with straight lines across the back and one that was curvy. When we found out ‘it’ was a ‘she’, we chose the more feminine, curvy sleigh crib and love it!
I am attempting to keep the dresser very simple at this time. There is a changing pad and a simple tray with necessities. The table lamp will be relocated onto a lamp table once I find one that I actually like (who knew it would be so hard to find a little lamp table!). We also have two ‘gadgets’ in the room thanks to Jan (a diaper genie and a wipe warmer). Since Jan claims he will be changing all the diapers, he chose these items assuming they will make his job easier (we will see). A print from our maternity session has been ordered and will be hung above the dresser (in the obvious blank wall area).
Once the crib and dresser were delivered, only two remaining pieces of furniture were needed: a storage system/book shelf and a glider/chair. We decided on a mocha colored chair with matching ottoman (both glide) and an open storage shelving unit.
The room is not very big but everything fits nicely and it has a cozy feel to it. We accessorized with a thick framed mirror, chandelier and single curtain loosely tied back. As you can see, the rattle made for her by her Aunt Amanda is also decorating the window at this time.
All of Abigail's clothes and accessories have been washed and are ready to wear. We stocked up on diapers and wipes too!
Finally, Abigail's bag is packed and ready to go. We cannot wait to meet our sweet little angel!
