One of my biggest, and most important room decoration projects to date...Poppy's nusery has been a work in progress since January! We started with a room that we had already painted light green and hung brown curtains two years ago (when we moved into the house), so I knew what the base of the room would be...the question was...where do I go from there!
I found that I'm not really into the "standard" baby boy thing, after HOURS of countless internet searches for baby bedding. Of course, anyone who knows me probably could've guessed that I wouldn't be able to just buy something and hang it up--I don't really know how to take the easy route.
Poppy's crib was a gift from Grandma and Grandpa Teigen. I loved it from the minute I saw it in the store. Once I put it together in his room, inspiration rang!
I kept the green and brown that was already in the room, and added a "pop"of turquoise/teal. It was tough to find this color, especially in baby items, so I really had to find it in many sources. My eyes were constantely peeled for turquoise!

Here is a view of Poppy's crib and storage ottomans. This is the view of the room from the rocking chair. We are not completely sure of the name yet...but I got the letters cheap enough to hang them for now!
Here is the "Poppy Tree" and Poppy's bookshelf. We received so many wonderful books at our Madison Shower...I worried for a bit that we wouldn't have enough room for them all!

Here is a picture of the opposite side of the room. I look forward to many nights of reading with Poppy on the new rocking chair...it's so comfy!

I had a lot of trouble finding linens that I liked. In the end, I decided to buy fabric and make a bed skirt for a lot less money than any of the ones that I liked costs. I was also able to make a coordinating cover for the changing pad, and a pillow for the rocking chair!
My favorite thing about Poppy's room is the organization! We bought a dresser at IKEA that I LOVE, because it isn't huge, but has wonderfully deep drawers. I realize that the drawers won't always look so good, so I thought I might as well take a picture now to prove that they once were organized!

We splurged a little and bought and installed a closet organizer for Poppy. It was really easy to do (I did it on my own--7 months pregnant), and it made a HUGE difference. Now...time to organized Poppy's Mommy & Daddy's closet! :)
I tried to make a lot of space usuable to "hide" toys and such. Here are all of the toys he already has fillin up his toy ottomans!

The rest of the house is getting "baby-fied", too!
The swing is ready in the living room...

The High Chair is waiting in the dining room...
And even some "older toys" are put together in the basement...
