baby brother's nursery {getting started}

I can officially say we have started working on Baby Brother's room. Yay!

Starting this new project meant saying goodbye to the last bit of extra space we have in our house.

The room we will be using for the nursery/guest room was formerly my craft room/guest room.

And just for the record it NEVER was this clean unless we happened to have guests staying with us.

The floor was usually covered with all my latest projects and anything I couldn't find a place for.

I cleaned it one last time before taking everything out of the room. :)

We had two twin beds in this room.

The bed frames were a clearance find from Crate and Barrel several years ago.

I love them but they are going to have to be stored away for now.

The duvet covers are from my days of working at Eddie Bauer Home.

So sad that store closed...they had the best bedding.

The blue polka dot sheets are from TJ Maxx (I think they were Tommy Hilfiger).

This room also kept all my crafting supplies.

Ribbon, scrap booking, photo albums, fabric, paint, felt, sewing machine, all my Cora's stuff...

it was all in this room.

This armoire is full of crafting stuff too.

Right now the plan is to use the armoire as Baby Brother's closet.

It should work perfect.

Where is the crafting stuff going to go??

I have no idea.

There is one little closet in this bedroom too.

It would be the perfect place to store all my crafting supplies..

...but it is Joel's closet and I don't think I can really kick him out of his own closet.

The one in our room is the same size and I have sort of taken it over. Imagine that.

Crafting supplies are important and all...but I think the hubby should probably come first!

So, for now the crafting supplies have no home.

They may have to be stored in totes in our unfinished basement...we'll see.

I cleaned out most of the room while Levi was sleeping.

Joel took the beds apart for me this weekend and Levi thought the whole process was pretty great.

Mattresses on the floor = lots and lots of fun.

A great place for a little boy to get rid of some energy when it is too hot to play outside.

So, the room is cleaned out.

The carpet is being replaced today and the plan is to paint the walls sometime this week.

I can't wait to get started.

And I am even more excited to meet Baby Brother who will be here so soon!
