The Nursery

Before Christmas we ordered the nursery furniture. One of my friends ordered her nursery furniture and it came the weekend before she had her baby. I was nervous this would happen, so we ordered it early and then we didn't have a place to put it because we still needed to clean out the nursery room. Oh well! At least we have it and we love it!
As my mom has said, "The Nesting Bug has officially hit the Shannon house!" After New Years Scotty and I got busy cleaning out the room that would eventually be the nursery. This involved purging a lot of items into the guest room closet, our closet and the attic. It felt so good to get that room clean and clear! Scotty built a shelving unit in the nursery closet so that we could utilize as much space as possible. You know how I love organization! He did a great job! I love how it turned out! Of course, the items in the closet will be organized at some point, but for now they just needed to go into the closet so the room could be clear for painting.

Matt, Scotty's best friend, came this weekend to help Scotty paint the nursery. They did an amazing job!!! They painted the room, lined the stripes and cut, put up and painted the chair rail! I LOVE IT!!! I know our little girl will love it too! It's so cute! The bedding is on the bench if you want to get an idea of what everything will look like together. We'll get the carpets cleaned next week, move the furniture into the room and the room will look even more put together! This makes me so excited for little Shannon's arrival! Scotty and I are both so excited! She has no idea how much love she has waiting for her already!
