This is a look from his door. The dresser/changing table was purchased on craigslist, repainted and given new drawer pulls. I really like it. The swing was given to me by my dear friend Stepheni (used by both her precious boys!) and if you look closely, there is a black backpack I will use as a diaper bag. And yes, the backpack is already packed full of stuff for the hospital!
The crib was bought by my mom before I had miscarriage #2 back in June 2009. I love it and I'm so thankful that she was willing to give us such a great gift! She also purchased a changing table that I have downstairs for those times I don't want to trek upstairs (yes, I can be lazy ;])
I bought the "R" at Joanne Fabrics. It took me forever to find one that wasn't broken! I spray painted it and hung it up.
My mom also bought this Poang rocking chair and ottoman from Ikea for us. I had one years ago and loved it. Come to think of it, I have no idea where it went! I'm so thankful for it. My sweet lil niece Eme was our "test baby" and she loved it, drifted off to sleep quite well in it! (the baby quilt is hiding one of those awkward square windows that lets all the morning light in! Not my ideal, but hey it works!)
So, there you have it! I tried my hardest to keep the cost down and to not over do his room. And since we can't paint the walls (we rent!) I hope it turned out well.
Only 5 things in the entire room were purchased brand new (crib, rocking chair, laundry hamper, lamp and changing pad/cover). The rest was second hand. There are many things not seen that were bought second hand also (bumbo, bath, snap n go stroller, breast pump and many clothes!). I think he'll like it! Yes, I know he really won't care haha!
i love it! it'll be perfect for sir ryken. :-) now i just need to wait patiently for that little bugger to get here!
