Sawyer's Nursery

On Monday we got the nursery painted and put the bed together. Our sweet friend Mike helped Jerrod paint and then Brent and Laurie helped us put the crib together. Brent is the worship director at The Well and Laurie mentors me, so we love "Larlie and Papa" as Cooper calls them! Laurie helped me pick out the teal for the walls and think through the room. We were a little bummed when we got to the last step of assembling the crib because the holes on the front of the crib were not done properly and the bolts could not screwed in. It's leaning against the crib, though, so you can see what it will look like. It's a really pretty espresso color!

Our little helper:)

I was unsure about the yellow chair working in Sawyer's room since we had used it for the other two boys, but I think it's going to look cute, especially against the teal wall. I'm still debating on whether or not I'll paint the bright white dresser more of a cream or ecru, so we'll see. I also want to get some new pulls on the drawers, maybe something orange??, so where would be a good place to look? The changing pad that goes on top is the same kind of chocolate minky fabric that's on the bumper.

I'm planning on getting floor length chocolate panels for the window and then I purchased an extra yard of the stripe fabric that I'll attach at the bottom of each panel, maybe with some fringe or something to go in between the two fabrics. I think I'll also make a pillow out of the stripe for the chair. It's hard to tell, but the polka dots are on the bumper and blanket are a creme on top of the orange. (The extra fabric is what's over the arm of the chair)

I'm still trying to figure out what to do on the walls, so if you have suggestions, please tell me!!! I have the wall on either side of the window, the wall above the crib, the wall above the dresser, and the wall where the chair sits. The colors in the room are teal, chocolate, orange, a really pretty green, ecru, and canary yellow. I need help, so if that's your thing, bring it on :)

The cradle is beautiful isn't it?? My sweet friend Valarie is letting us use it, so that will actually be in our room when Sawyer gets here. I love all the detailing on the ends and how it has a distressed, antique look. What a blessing to use something so pretty!

We still have a ways to go, but that's a little sneak peak....
