Nursery Tour

<p>Welcome to Baby Bangert’s nursery!</p> <p>We painted over Christmas break before we knew the gender. We chose <a href="http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1161246">Restoration Hardware’s</a> light silver sage for a  color. I knew the color would work well for a boy and of course adding pink to it worked out perfect for our little girl!</p> <p>This is the view from the door.  The crib was a generous gift from some friends who moved out of state a few years ago and their little guy was ready to move to a big bed. We purchased their crib mattress for only $25 (they paid over $200) I guess it pays to plan ahead! Her bedding is from <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/?bnrid=3560101&cm_ven=BrandSearch&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=BrandExact&cm_ite=pottery+barn+kids&OVMTC=Exact&site=&creative=4394783413&OVKEY=pottery%20barn%20kids">Pottery Barn Kids</a> I purchased a few years ago on super clearance. I think it was back in 2006 I had <em>MAJOR</em> baby fever, but after lots of life chats with Kyle we decided it just wasn’t the right time yet. Everything happens for a reason, right?!?!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5vq-qn4LAKf7afUR2bOOfhKVPsUzeRImOFOgvshZ2JGLL7NscuGiTNOmnu6L0tSiVwYQSIBu6c3pAOgxBn5mwzCaE_BbnWcZ6tF_8Gm9YVf97-AvtI_nh9tNAA5iGXsORkjci_BZyQoVp/s1600-h/DSC09919%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09919" border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggsjvWkr-fTlOIjAxn12vNPAk5yOy-DcNVL6tylQsEp2Og_8YAqMAMPCaFTFyDqF2nwNqX2IPNVYKEDbjZ_GmUrqhPPYRc8ojnweeDvl-3EmIZYhyykdmcqUIBTVtDkY19NgmRbN94TBQs/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-top: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC09919" width="404"></a></p> <p>Above her crib we plan to do something similar to this with her name.

(Kyle still needs to hang up the carbon monoxide detector) <li>The 2nd frame is something I designed & framed.  <li>Then we have her ultrasound. <li>Lastly, I finished it off with some coordinating scrapbook paper I picked up at Hobby Lobby. <li>The 2 pink iron flowers below are hooks I also got at Hobby Lobby for $3/each.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8t29geK6IhSv4kOVupm83VYAI3rwehOAVd8J0PEw9_ZIF_uxaIDkEED-Po2sInrMVxUEHJr548UyBhsQ2Riri9OHVVb7nxyTpKaFEozBm-FWBnMD8LRKswUy86pru3qO9u_kkeemiJzEx/s1600-h/DSC09928%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09928" border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_XTiR0IbwNW2S5KNTBB9roykvPUS-GQynaqNQarUj3vtiBSr7Q3JJ2Of0NehqnseHZXoM210CsQKYxDmkVq5dskSe2KnM_-o7J02_cMp_fiOPTqrHaz2rwRtbBRx_jH4Nm5-LiWskWFzN/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-top: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC09928" width="304"></a></li></ul> <p>To the right of the crib is a night stand we picked up at <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/">Ikea</a> for under $10. And in the corner is our comfy, cozy glider we got with the generous help of my Grandma! The ottoman was a gift from my Mom & sisters for one of my baby showers!

The lamb piggy bank was a gift from Kyle’s Grandma. And we picked up the pink clock/ipod dock with gift cards at Target. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJKOURP6BSK2b75hPVjV9RQ3O0IMTG_5I8WLi6betzX7EcstiuIyoezuvWnzPqa8Rp-aqYrJ5yH_6nbnJXpiD1DAMYobeckoBBW-urHiaI-XLce779q75M-PvWpTJo1DDuVIXlL8DugB8y/s1600-h/DSC09921%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09921" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3oNp32MF64aRhWByYzTB0LmdJtSsTbrDZo8wnI8U7R9q8pzelRXG5nDZEQ8r8vjoKN-z5odTidlhi_TAe_qrq0ILC1_icA67otzQeAUlc_ZUXM5_FAw_ScvgKFVB0um4_NNKqSSSX_he8/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-top: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC09921" width="304"></a></p> <p>Here’s a close up of our glider! The owl was made by my good friend <a href="http://kimcreates.blogspot.com/">Kim’s</a> mom! She used them for decorations at my <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2011/05/work-baby-shower.html">work shower</a>! Kyle’s Mom made the sweet blanket on the back of the chair and the tag blanket was a gift from my cousin!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7A54ood2GsNCuZJXnLU3rJtT4Qtt8tRC5nshTY3k2WXF7vKkXbJIpjx6o82eH4WF_rPTkThmGYAWC3O5vx0RvWysxlyocBVE7ZVJjsoztcthyphenhyphenFKhRp-5o0i64UGeS_dVJGbQnlMNvrNtA/s1600-h/DSC09922%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09922" border="0" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifPgMNTtDwy7copFtjrf2H76Cdt4XlCAcxNORaZ-xeeRgGh4WX7qIRzAEuUPEENOLM_sX48OIWDzqdRHrXj0yq_DdcPHUdYRiqx3TjOcHjlkZ-5S7nf0i8RqOH5wUMjDA4GecWP2dQ6Fy3/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-top: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC09922" width="354"></a></p> <p>Above the chair is a shelf we purchased from Ikea that holds a few baskets for storage. My sister, Mindi, made the banner below for one of my <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2011/05/work-baby-shower.html">baby showers</a>! Once we pick out her name I was going to re-arrange the letters to spell out her name. I picked up the calendar at Hallmark. A friend I scrapbook with said she used one to jot down notes on each day of what baby did and it came in super hand when she went back to do her little guy’s scrapbook!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfur-XrYCfNW0HBR2mXz7gUNgUfeyVzKNX0zbxm2bvSMxbuqyG5pZribbMw3Ay31TKkUtplm9A_YfxCRvPyuptSw3Y9sEEVg20zkr1GkMC-hzMXvP9XrmS1r6NsiAU-aGBqZxpzp6daDeN/s1600-h/DSC09923%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09923" border="0" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJFf9ZdLaotnREsdGJRqxwK66gySAjmiVWQ9YbxpLAWH54mf2bZ_D0VtZY-7Chgfuz8Y1WYI_QrDvRib6QT79zTKsZyZcjd4ZOLyj-K3Q2_j8SL22-fZyfTHte7pa06PSN8Ev-YcMp2vp0/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-top: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC09923" width="404"></a></p> <p>Here is her changing station. We used a dresser we already had and just added the changing pad to the top. The cover on the changing pad is from <a href="www.etsy.com">Etsy</a> (one of my favorite sites!!). To the left of the changing station is her hamper and to the right is the much needed Diaper Genie! The curtains were a set of 2 <a href="http://www.target.com/Eclipse-Miley-Window-Panel-Pink/dp/B002OLABRU/ref=br_1_22?ie=UTF8&id=Eclipse%20Miley%20Window%20Panel%20Pink&node=300012011&searchSize=30&searchView=list&searchPage=1&sr=1-22&qid=1306876768&rh=&searchBinNameList=target_com_category-bin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Cmaterial_type%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&searchRank=salesrank&frombrowse=1">black out, floor length panels from Target</a> that Kyle’s mom hemmed into 4 curtains to cover the 2 windows in the nursery. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl2UHWPzSEYAYZMQzNc_RqchUwammj5UQANkR37WT9bscDI5kfP1eglV_jIw0yMGhW63dDgep0sukViWbNi4Mn-MWqcwOfb6D2Lp8dyLoNq40NMjTWPrV4GTZrUS64U3-0xkS98Pj5HG85/s1600-h/DSC09924%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09924" border="0" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwP5j1xYzHwK2k3dbhG-5T1VQOhJbuXSf4uw9OdG3hEbVlH8HO5tSzUvCINYaSCHzUdlhfq22fgI5yV-XDjRe3enCOir3ta0gbb7Pkv2-JiMTlWBCEaJw57sXVkwnnOg0uclLhyphenhyphenZGl5lfw/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-top: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC09924" width="354"></a></p> <p>You’ve seen her closet <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2011/01/18-weeks.html">here</a>!

Above the shelf is another owl from my friend, <a href="http://www.kimcreates.blogspot.com">Kim</a>. Hanging on the wall is a scrapbook page display frame I got as a birthday gift from my sister Mindi a few years ago. I think it worked perfect in her room to display her shower invite & other memorabilia. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiyPbDKIGGSwfkU2G8jjZwArbDvI7KzZMNHp5fCCJ8YK_tnpEYbSwY20nkvnZdf_noUWrjIurE6fzp1rFfWHjjphRcB1jmppn8fU0xT1lu0QAhVL3vaW10eyAcPX02lD3OiSkIwdZV8AYL/s1600-h/DSC09927%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DSC09927" border="0" height="777" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJGO0JuLi4MyCP4Kmd13IO-fw8OdmrVvUikc4aZG9nOE2j3eYyD1L00XAAplb_21DEbnF8JljpBtZaP9tz3Und8YyPWczpSqIPV2KQUGGVCKgKl224ovtMHWsAEJTvRK84vOD-VlV3yB7x/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; padding-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; float: none; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-top: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" title="DSC09927" width="454"></a></p> <p>Behind the door is the <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2011/05/bow-holder.html">bow holder</a> I made.
