Nursery, Phase 1

What a great treat to read: "You are officially approved to adopt." That's the letter we received this week. Of course, we've been "unofficially" accepted for weeks now. It just takes a bit for the paperwork to make its way through the process.

In the meantime, we've had gender neutral visions of nursery decor dancing through our heads . . . . okay, perhaps, more in my head than Mr. Youree, but WE'VE been excited to work on our baby's room.

First up, was cleaning out the packed room. (Heaven's, how DID we accumulate so much stuff in the closets!) And then, we painted the room a creamy "Sand" by Laura Ashley.

This closet below will be the baby's closet. (You'll notice the car seat/stroller combo and a few clothes already residing there.)


The doorway to the left in the picture below is a door directly to the master bedroom, which will be handy for late night feedings and snuggles. You can see more of the wall color here too. The closed door is the second bedroom closet that we are using for storage. The open door on the right leads to the hallway. The dresser is from Bryan's original bedroom suite when he was a kiddo--that was actually his mother's first cousin's bedroom suite.




We've picked out floor rugs too! This two-tone brown jewel is the perfect fit for our space. It's a Dash & Albert pick from Simple Things--one of my favorite shops in Fort Worth. If you're ever in the market for quality floor rugs, I HIGHLY recommend Dash & Albert. The craftsmanship is super, and the price is reasonable.
