Daniel's Nursery

It took some time, but we finally got Daniel’s nursery put together just before he arrived. We started by picking out a crib bedding set that we liked, that also had a border to match. Then we picked the paint colors from the border. My aunt made the quilted wall hanging for the room. She had not seen the room when she made the quilt, but it came out just perfect. My sister painted the picture that is on the wall. She tailored it to go with the alphabet theme. It is so nice to have handmade items in the nursery. The hardest part was deciding on the furniture. Picking out a comfortable rocker for the nursery was very difficult. I can’t count how many furniture stores we went to, and they can be expensive also. After many weekends searching we finally found a chair my husband and I both liked. We also could not find a crib set we liked here in Louisville. I just happened to be in Indianapolis visiting my family and came across the store Buy Buy Baby. They had too many furniture sets to choose from. So, I made my husband go back with me and we picked out a set. The next challenge was getting all the furniture to Louisville. Luckily my parent helped out with my dad’s truck, and would bring down a piece at a time when they would visit. We also had to order a piece and had to wait several weeks for it to arrive. It came in and my parent brought it down right before Daniel was born. It took some time, but everything finally came together in the end.
