her room right now

Ah, that is the sound of a crazy woman feeling relieved that once she gets a mattress, her baby has a place to sleep if nothing else. Assembling it was definitely a two person operation, one held a rail while the other screwed it into place. After a few minutes, ta-da, crib.

I got some curtains for the room and yes, they're red, like the queen of hearts.

I think I want to add some blackout lining to it, just because the red creates a funny glow in the room.

Shuffled the cabinet around a little to make room for some pretty things.

We put great-grandpa Plank's old minor league hat and Matt's little league glove.

And this yellow radio belonged to grandma and great grandma.

Here's the little wonderland accessories: white rabbit, drink me bottle, little box for jewels, jar for baby bows, and a couple of special editions of Alice in Wonderland.

The little box and tree will be for headbands and such. Aww her wittle golden jellies.

Over the changing table I installed a smaller shelf with red brackets.

I put stuff up there that her dad will enjoy while he's changing her. I also put a little box of q-tips and cotton rounds and put up the healing balm and lotion for her.

I did buy the we're all mad here print and luckily had a frame on hand.

This just needs a little changing pad.

Her drawers look pretty much the same.

To the left you see we still need to move those boxes.

I finally tested out that glider and it's definitely a winner. We're hoping to buy it next month.

And she's got a looking glass ready to check herself out in.

The closet stayed the same color as the room, elephant grey. It's a good neutral.

Nothing in here is set as it will be but this is the state it's in right now.

I hope to hang some stuff around the place but waiting to see where the glider and rug situation land and then add things there accordingly.

I could have bought a fancy hamper but this one from Ikea was the prefect size.

I had to get her this little romper before they sold out. It's too perfect.

That's some good progress I think. 

Still to do:

• move boxes into shed

• buy glider and ottoman

• buy rug

• buy mattress

• replace light fixture

• disperse eventual clothing + gifts into closet & re-organize that
