Progress in Mili's Room

So these pictures are a long time coming.  We've made a lot of additions to the room, including a Mandal bed frame, Hemnes dresser, and the world's most awesome glider.  I'd love to show you a picture of the room as a whole, however I have no photography skills and the room is small, so until Caleb gets home you'll have to make do with a mental picture instead.  But enough talk! 

Time for more blurry pictures!

 

Here is the world's most awesome recliner/glider!  We opted to spend a little  more to get something we could later incorporate into our living room and wouldn't look all "I see you held onto the baby glider."  

We had it shipped to the store (Babies R Us) and I have to admit to being more than a little nervous on the way to pick it up.  I was really wondering if we made the right decision.  Fortunately it looks fantastic in the room!  AND it is INCREDIBLY COMFORTABLE!  Seriously.  Every time I see Caleb sitting in it, I get a little grumpy thinking how I'd like to be sitting in it instead.  Hoorah!

A detail shot of the windowsill, because it is so bright and makes me happy.  The flowers came from Mili's Dallas shower, the piggy bank from Garvan Woodland Gardens (discounted with our membership!), and the alphabet tile box is a handmade gift from Caleb's brother Colton.  Did I mention this corner makes me happy?  Because this corner makes me happy. 

So the crib was originally in our room, but we were able to move it into the nursery since my grandparents gifted us an awesome Pack N Play.  Moving it from one room to another only required taking two doors off their hinges.  Do I have pictures of this process?  No.  Because I'm lame.  Trust me though.  It was legendary.

The new dresser!  I switched out the standard pulls for some unique ones from Hobby Lobby to the tune of $2 - $3 a pop.  The best thing about this dresser though is that it's sturdy and easily accommodates the changing table + a little dresser top storage.  And speaking of storage, we found that and another storage basket on clearance at Target for $4 each!

And finally... Mili's reading corner.  Eventually we'd like to put up some vertical bookcases or some sort of vertical book storage.  Until then this is really accessible for the Bean. 

So we still have some work to do.  Walls to fill with pictures.  Hazards to address.  A closet to clean out.  But things are coming together!  And we've received so many lovely gifts that are stashed away here and there.  We are so thankful for the generosity of friends and family!  

And I'll get those pictures of the whole room up soon! (-ish).
