This is baby #2 for us so we have a crib, and I've been slowly buying things since we won't have a shower, but the nursery right now is a crib and a big pile of things still in bags and Amazon boxes! I'm waiting for my nesting instinct to kick in!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2469274 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 13:50:59 +0000 YogiRunner 2469274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice job everyone! I feel super behind. We are due May 5th and just finished painting the walls, but we want to add a stenciled accent wall that's going to take forever. We have the big pieces of furniture in boxes or ordered (crib, dresser, glider) but that's it. Nothing set up yet and my shower isn't for over a month so not much to put in there. Tell me I have plenty of time :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2469213 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 11:02:13 +0000 sslm 2469213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ModernDayJibarita: beautiful!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2464229 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 10:07:56 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2464229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I would say the drawers are much smaller than regular drawer. Most of the drawers are empty right now so no idea how much stuff I can fit in. Plan is to have the top 2 drawers filled with important baby tools that should be in easy reach (diaper cream, aquaphor, pacifiers, thermometer etc. ) and the rest full of diapers, wipes and clothes in his current size. Nursery has a pretty big closet so most of the clothes will be store there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2464205 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 09:52:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2464205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ModernDayJibarita: looks great! What kind and how much stuff are you able to store in the Ikea drawers? Are those drawer components are slightly smaller than regular dresser drawers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2464181 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 09:30:50 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2464181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursery is 90% done!!!!

LO2 is going to be in our room until we move to a bigger house, or move her into LO1's room. No cute nursery for us! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2453430 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 11:32:34 +0000 csross217 2453430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ModernDayJibarita: Love the decals!</p> <p>We've painted (gray), set up the crib and dresser/changing table, put up shelving and started to organize the closet! DH has been busy with DIY woodworking projects, and just finished up a 9-cube storage unit and an arrow growth chart. I just need to add the numbers to the arrow. We also finished our star mobile over the weekend, it took wayyyy longer that I thought it would...</p> <p>I haven't put anything on the walls yet because I'm so indecisive about where things should go! I have a few framed prints, but definitely need to collect more stuff. Our theme is kind of loose too, we're sort of going with gray, white, purple and elephants. </p> [attach=4773/16/o28lyb.337x600.20160207_152955.jpg] [attach=4773/16/o28lyc.337x600.20160207_153045.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2453254 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 09:53:54 +0000 sslm 2453254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ModernDayJibarita: so cute!!

We ordered our chair for the room, but it won't be in until like the week or two before my due date. We have all the furniture but it still needs to be sanded and painted. I did get the crib sheets in which I will post a picture of once I can find them in the piles of junk in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2453230 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 09:43:54 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2453230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll play! We got the decals in this week and got around to putting hem up yesterday. 1 of 4 nursery walls are finished :)</p> <p>@sslm: LOVE your chair! And the frames you selected go so well with the airplane prints. Can't wait to see the whole room </p> [attach=2268/16/o28gx6.600x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2453181 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 09:06:05 +0000 sslm 2453181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the only one sharing but oh well :) </p> [attach=1982/16/o28f66.450x600.image.jpeg] [attach=1982/16/o28f67.600x450.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2445023 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:50:55 +0000 sslm 2445023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got these prints in the mail :).

Not sure if you can buy other sheets for it but that's going on my to do list!! Good idea about the crib sheets. My mom can definitely make those!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426335 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 15:23:34 +0000 TrailRunner 2426335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: @My Only Sunshine: I love your themes! </p> <p>@ModernDayJibarita: everything looks so great!!</p> <p>I randomly painted the entire room one day by myself when I was nearing. I have a second hand crib, changing station, and bookshelf that I plan on repainting white. Our theme will be elephants and our colors are grey, navy, and bright green with white furniture. I attached a picture of the wall color...turned out a little darker than I expected. For now I have to take a break bc I had some bright red bleeding over the weekend. Hopefully in a couple weeks I can get the furniture re-painted. </p> [attach=6161/16/o160nb.600x446.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426325 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 15:20:56 +0000 Autumnmama79 2426325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Was just thinking that maybe your mum could make you a crib sheet! That way you could choose the fabric that worked without spending the $40 on a sheet. </p> <p>Love having handy parents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426296 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 15:03:54 +0000 Autumnmama79 2426296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: That sounds great. Last q! Do you buy sheets for the little mattress? If so, where? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426277 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:55:09 +0000 sslm 2426277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: it says on the website it's good up to around 4 months (16 lbs). We only used the bassinet for about a month last time, and then she went in her crib! I am hoping to do the same this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426176 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:22:55 +0000 Autumnmama79 2426176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: How long do you think baby will be able to stay in the moses? Is there an age guideline?</p> <p>@ModernDayJibarita: Looks gorgeous! Lucky baby has a nice big closet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426168 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:20:45 +0000 sslm 2426168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: No, we had a borrowed bassinet for DD. I'm hoping the moses basket is ok! It's a good height and size... so fingers crossed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426167 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:20:45 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2426167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started of the holidays. Stayed home for 2 weeks, painted &amp; built out the closet and we purchased/ assembled the crib, dresser and glider. </p> <p>Now that all the big pieces are in place I've started working on the decor. Gallery wall is mostly done and I have purchased the curtains and lamp. </p> [attach=2268/16/o15xqm.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=2268/16/o15xqn.600x300.image.jpg] [attach=2268/16/o15xqo.600x274.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426154 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:16:44 +0000 Autumnmama79 2426154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Now the theme has even more meaning! Love it :heart: </p> <p>Did you use the moses basket with LO1? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426146 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:15:31 +0000 Autumnmama79 2426146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@My Only Sunshine: I love the cabin theme! The book ledges are a great idea. </p> <p>I've looked at the rnp but I wanted something a little closer to our bed height in case I need to have another cs. Also wanted something that was similar to a crib in feel so transition is as smooth as it was with DD. I can see the rnp as being useful for other purposes around the house though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426142 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:14:15 +0000 sslm 2426142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: We went with a moses basket and stand. Our room is really too small for anything else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426140 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:13:46 +0000 sslm 2426140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: Thanks! It just kind of happened because my dad is retired air force and I've always been fascinated by aircraft :)</p> <p>I also really want this sheet but it's a little pricey for me, so we'll see! <a href="http://www.directbuybaby.com/dwell-studio-flight-fitted-crib-sheet.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.directbuybaby.com/dwell-studio-flight-fitted-crib-sheet.html</a></p> <p>@My Only Sunshine: I love that theme!!

My daughter slept in that her first 3 months or so and we also used it around the house for naps and somewhere for her to hang out while we ate dinner. Loved that thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426113 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:06:26 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2426113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: Love that mobile! Darling theme.</p> <p>We're doing a rustic cabin vibe for baby boy.

My husband is going to build some book ledges like this: <a href="http://theturquoisehome.com/2015/07/diy-ten-dollar-ledges/" rel="nofollow">http://theturquoisehome.com/2015/07/diy-ten-dollar-ledges/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/may-2016-nurseries#post-2426086 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 13:55:07 +0000 tinyperson 2426086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby will be in our room for a while, so we need to buy a big girl bed for 3yo and move the crib into our room. That's about it :) </p>
