And so it begins...

The nursery, that is.  I've made the first few moves towards transitioning the current spare, spare bedroom into a permanent home for our future child-of-some-kind.  We'll call him/her the blueberry for now (which, honestly, I've been calling it since December).

Its also appropriate since the colors for the nursery are yellow...and bright blue.

Here is a before picture of the nursery from when we bought the house.

We didn't do much to it besides paint the room yellow and throw in some random furniture.  It looked roughly like this for the last three years.

Except that this bedroom also became the unofficial storage room. We're still working on cleaning it out.

When I decided to start working on the nursery, I looked through some decor pictures that I've been collecting for years for ideas.  I found the following nursery images that I've had for a long time and still love.  These are my inspiration for the room.

And finally, here is what we have so far.

The gallery wall is my favorite.  The crib is going to go right underneath it.  All of the images are homemade except for the three largest that I purchased from Etsy.

The puppies also love the nursery.  I think they are under the false impression that it is intended for them.

And for Mom, here is my progress on the throw blanket for the bed.  Duff chose the yarn.  I wanted to go plain royal blue and white but he wouldn't hear of it.  This was our compromise.  I think it will work out alright in the end.

Well, that's all for now.  Jo
