Building the Baby's Room

If this can be any indication, this was our starting point. This is the closet as we began to work on the nursery. In this picture, the closet doors have already been removed, the twin size bed has been taken to the basement. We were on our way to making some drastic changes. Thanks go out to Ann, Trevor and Ramsey for helping us by getting a box and power added to this room and the one next door. A central light and fan will keep the room nice and cozy.

While Kelly was at her shower, Alex helped add the pink and brown border around the top of the room. Here is the changing table. We will still be installing shelves above this. We got a whole bunch of books from the baby shower guests.
A nice little shot of the corner that shares the crib and the closet.

Finally, the closet. I have heard that this little girl will be consumed by shoes, clothes, jewelry, and more. Why not start with a cute but functional closet. We still need to find some cubby baskets to add to the small shelf on the left. The hanging bars will work for up to 3T clothing as indicated by the Bears cheerleader outfit on the center bar.

We still have some details to wrap up in this room, but we will have them done in no time. I hope the little one likes it when she finally arrives. Mom is currently setting up the closet. Who knows when she will be heading to bed.
As we finish up, we will add more pictures.
See you soon!

  1. Pat and Kelly, it's Joshua, Emily & Erica's Grandma. The room is AWESOME!

    You guys have done a wonderful job of including all the right things that are important to little girls.

    I know you understand that there will NEVER be enough room for everything, so enjoy and know you will have to rotate clothes (and things) that are important to your daughter at that moment (and yes, it could change tomorrow!) But that is the beauty of having daughters.

    Enjoy! Little girls are truly a blessing.

    Love, Grandma Sue
