the nursery

we have three bedrooms upstairs. the "middle room" has served us well as the spare bedroom/guestroom for the past few years. now it has a real purpose in life and a permanent resident.

jesse spent the latter part of august painting. we wanted a somewhat gender neutral color, JUST IN CASE. so "pear" was chosen and although it's a bit brighter than we expected, it looks good.

the crib is set up, the change table is fixed on to the dresser, the closet emptied.

being the cheapos that we are, jesse and i were not happy with the prices of crib bedding. it's like, on average, $200. we went to kacz' kids and saw some for over $400. is that really necessary? goodness. i'm sorry, but i could never justify spending that much on bedding. but the cheap ones looked so... cheap, that we thought, maybe someone will get the bedding for us.... this way, WE don't have to spend the money...

we happened to be at walmart last night, not specifically looking for bedding, but we were pleasantly surprised to find a 10-piece bedding set for $90! it's disney baby and has many baby characters - bambi, dumbo, thumper, and others (i can't remember right now).

now that the bedding is in, the nursery looks more like a nursery. need a baby to make it more complete though ;)
