The Nursery is DONE!

Aside from a couple small things (like hanging a curtain in the window and painting the door), the nursery is DONE! I'll give you a quick overview and then I'll show you some details!

Okay, now for some of the fun little stuff!...

Here's a front shot of the crib...

And a little closer...

This is his special embroidered monkey stuffed animal/blanket!And his mobile (compliments of Nana Minter!)and the wall hanging, compliments of Aunt Shannon!And his super-soft monkey chillin' in the crib!and some other monkeys chillin' in the crib, compliments of Aunt Tara (left) and mommy & daddy (right)... the one on the right is the Build-A-Bear monkey with his heartbeat in the arm!Renee had the coolest thing made! I have to ask her again for the website of the woman who makes things like these but she gave her the baby's initials and told her the theme and she made her these and shipped them! So cool!Here's a close-up of his closet/changing station...

note the adorable little wall decals! (thanks to Mandy.......

...and Rachel.... and Kristen

....and Jenna!and his little lamp that goes with the whole theme!

So... to re-cap... we'll do a few fun before & after shots!

We'll start with the crib...

BEFORE
AFTER
Aunt Kacy wants to paint a mural or something on this... so whenever she has time, she'll go for it! It will be pretty stinkin' cute, but until then, it's just plain old brown.

BEFORE
AFTERI should take a shot of this without the blanket draped over so you can see the spindles and how they're all the different colors of the room...

... and now for the furniture...

I didn't catch this in any random "before" shots... but this is the little night stand "after" with some cut-outs from extra border we had that didn't make it on the wall... :)and here is our shamelessly trash-picked lamp BEFORE
... and AFTER, thanks to Jason's crazy spray-painting skills and our cheap Target lamp shade!

SO, just in case you need one last re-fresher.... (and because it's so fun for us to see this!) Here are some before & after shots of the whole room from different angles!

Corner #4
It's amazing what a little paint and a vision can do! (And of course a baby shower or three...)

WHEW! We feel much better about going into labor at any minute now! (we just have to make sure we paint that door and get a curtain in that window!). But other than that, the nursery is DONE!

Special thanks to Dad (Straub) and Mommy (Maska) for all your help finishing the room! We (quite literally) couldn't have made this happen without your help! Thanks to you, baby Karson will come home to a really cool room that can grow with him! Love you!
