The nursery… nearly done.

I have just a few more things to finish up in the nursery (finish binding my quilt, finish one more bumper, and put away all my baby’s adorable little clothes and things) but I thought I would share a quick update on the *almost* finished nursery.
My secret diaper storage, cleverly hidden behind the crib.
Extra storage for clothes and bedding etc.
I had gotten these storage crates as a graduation present (a few years back) and love them. I said something to Jason about setting them up. And he came up with the idea of hanging them on the wall. They are all independent of eachother so if we need to move one we can without moving the others. Plus I think it looks really cool how he has it set up. (Great job Jason!!!)
All the nursery furniture in place
We got the crib and mattress at once upon a child. The crib is in AWESOME condition, not a scratch on it. And the mattress was a nice Serta. All together we got it for $150.00. And the changing tabel I got at the All kids stuff sale. Â For $15.00
The bumpers I made for the crib 🙂
I got my bumpers (well one anyway) done for the crib. My sis Karissa takes total credit for the  frog theme because she is the one that found the fabric and inspired the theme. (Nice taste K) I kinda had to make up my own pattern but I think that it turned out OK 😉
Some bibs that I made.
Blocks that I made.
These are just a few more of the little crafts I have made. Two of the blocks have little bells in them. And the one with ABC on it, I made out of some scrap  terry cloth from the bibs. I had some fun with these, and after I finish a few more pressing projects I’m going to make some more of both 🙂
If you want to make more projects like these, I found the patterns here. You can save a TON of money by making your own things, and buying second hand. I am just about ready to add up the total of what our nursery expenditure has been. I’ll post it when we do.
Love the nursery! Those blocks are adorable, makes me want to make some up too. I have too many projects on the back burner as it is though. I was supposed to have sewn some Boppy covers by the time Noah came, but oops, guess that didn’t happen. 🙂
These bibs are cute! Now that I got Ava’s blanket finished this looks like something easy and fun that I can get done in an evening after Ava goes to bed. I have found that the bibs with velcro behind the neck irritate ava’s skin if the velcro isn’t attached just so (because typically i have to throw the bib on quickly while she’s squirming and trying to snatch her bottle out of my hands:)hehe). These kiddos …. 🙂
