Nursery Sneak Peak

Sooooooo we are waiting for our 20 week ultra sound before we do any painting, at first I thought I would be ok with a gender neutral nursery but I have changed my mind.....For those of you know me- I love pink!!! and there is noooo way I would be able to live with myself if we were having a girl and this room could'nt be the girliest of all girlies!! haha..... and if it were a boy- Im thinking like an airplane theme? Maybe even sports!.....I recently purchased some crib bedding, the only reason I purchased it was because it was the one that I had wanted if we were doing a gender neutral room- the only reason I bought it myself rather than waiting for the shower is beause it was regular $209.00 and low and behold as I strolled through babies r us, found the last one on clearance for $67.00 for the 6 piece set!!! ... what a steal!!!! But as it sat in our nursery for a few weeks and I was thinking of paint samples- it didnt leave me a whole lot of options for decor since the theme was sooo specific.... so I returned it!! lol We have decided to wait until our baby showers to register for the bedding we decide we want that is gender specific.

7 more weeks and we will know if we will be expecting baby Kennley or Baby Chace lol and then the room will start from there!! ..... I did purchase a crib sheet that I could not absolutly live without!! It says " I love Mommy, I love Daddy" Mommy Loves Me, Daddy Loves Me" all over it..... (see below for a pic).

So far we have purchased a crib, and a dresser for the room. I wanted something simple yet modern and white for the crib- I have had my eye on the Ikea Gulliver Crib for quite some time- as well as it got wonderful reviews...... One day out of curiosity I started looking on craigslist.... I came across the crib I wanted BRAND NEW- IN BOX- INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED and all!!!!!!! for a measily $40 (See Pic Below) smackaroos!!! ..... Soooo we went the store and bought a crib mattress the next day. After coming across an amazing deal I have had my eye out for a dresser. The one we wanted retails at babies R us for around $500.00 ..... Sooo I thought,..... eh- why not? Im gonna scope out craigslist for a while and if I come across nothing then we will buy the one we want..... well........ We found a dresser- nearly brand new on craiglist- not a scratch on it- in mint condition which would easily retail for around $500.00 as well, and got another steal at $85.00!!!!!!!!!!! Then replaced the hardware to nickel finished knobs( see pic below)

Sooo far we are off to a great start and cant wait to find out the gender so I can really go to town with this room =)
