Work begins on the Nursery

We're almost five months along now so we've started work on the nursery. As many of you know, we have a small room down the hall of the master bedroom; since we moved in we've called it the yellow room (because of the yellow walls). Well, now it's Tigger's room and we've decided that since it's such a nice shade of yellow, we're giong to keep it for Tigger.

After a lot of looking, we settled on the Olivia crib from JC Penney- thanks Mom (aka G-Ma C)! Here's a picture from the website (I don't know why they cover every crib with a big blanket in the pictures!). It's backordered for a month and should arrive sometime in June.


We also bought a glider for the nursery. At first, I was anti-glider until I found upholstered gliders; I'm just not into those cushion-covered wood ones at Babies R Us. While visiting the 'rents in Virginia a few weeks ago, we found a great deal on a swivel glider. The picture shows an off-white chair; we ordered it in eggplant (kind of a deep purple). We thought it was a nice neutral shade that still had good color. Now that I think about it, I think it's the same color as my bridesmaid's dresses!


So there you have it. It looks like the colors in the nursery will be soft yellow and deep purple. We're still working on how to incorporate some Tigger in the nursery, since he's orange and black. Next on our list is a dresser and curtains......
