Here are some photos of Lauren's nursery, for those of you not on Facebook. I picked out the fabric before we knew if we were having a boy or a girl, because I wanted a gender neutral nursery. I know this will make some gasp, but we figure she should get used to a world where not all is glittery, pink and frilly from the get-go. Just our approach. I made the bed skirt and top sheet because I couldn't find anything I liked in the stores. We're pretty pleased with it, which, let's be honest, is all that matters. Lauren's not going to remember it.
Sean found the orange chair above a couple of weeks before Lauren was born at an antique mall in the River Market in KC and brought it home for the nursery.
The tree turned out even better than we thought it would. It's a giant (9 feet tall) decal that we had custom-made to fill that huge wall. We put it up in several pieces. Lauren LOVES it. She doesn't get as excited about it now that she's older, but for a period of time it was one of the only things that could calm her down if she was really upset.
We wanted a really cool light fixture that was interesting for Lauren to stare at, and this one was perfect. It came in a flat-pack box and took an evening to put together.
