Baby rooms

Kelly asked us this week to show you our baby rooms!

I don't have any babies yet but I already know what I would like the room to look like and we happen to own the furniture. My god daughter was getting a big girl bed and they were getting rid of her baby furniture.  It is in storage till we need it. I am pretty sure I will set up a baby room super early when we are expecting.

This is our Pottery Barn changing table and the reason we wanted the furniture! My husband thought I was crazy when I told him about it but I think he is secretly excited about it.
Here are just a few ideas of how to incorporate it into a room...
I plan on using the babies monogram in the center of the unit above the pad.
We also have a crib that was also my god daughters, I believe it looks something like this
I don't mind it but I am head over heels in love with this style
Over three years of marriage I have picked up a few things that I just fell in love with. I still love every single thing I have purchased. I love how a common color scheme has emerged.
I purchased the towel sets for $15 dollars each from TJ MAXX (top left and right), they contain two full sets of towels. A great deal since Pottery Barn kids had something almost identical when I purchased these for $40 for one set not two. I am so tempted to pull them out and use them in our guest room.
 The top middle thing in the picture is actually a set of four bins for the upper sections of our changing table. They are painted metal with raised dots as you can see in the picture. I had my eye on these at Babies R Us and I grabbed these when they discontinued them.  I planned on purchasing white but they were all sold out,  I love the green now. Target carries something similar now.  
The last three items are from Target (one of them is laying inside the bins).  I picked these up 2 summers ago and still love them! I am glad I didn't pick up the entire line since it has been so long and still no baby.  The fleece blanket is just so soft and cozy. The package with three items are receiving blankets.
I have always known I wanted one of these Pottery Barn chairs but when I saw this one I instantly fell in love.  I actually saw the fabric on a tent they carried and wished out loud to my husband that they made something else with the same fabric.
Isn't it so cute, you may have to click to see the detail better.

Now on to bedding, the part I haven't really figured out yet.
If I were pregnant right now I would most likely pick one of these from Babies R Us. My husband loved the monkey when I showed it to him, he even go the silliest grin on his face. I will just have to see though when they day actually comes.  We already plan on finding out what we will be having so we will decorate accordingly.  I have been tempted in the past to purchase crib bedding that was on sale but I am so glad I never did.  I can't even remember what any of it looked like now.  I would be able to describe all of the above already purchased items though and that's why they are placed safely in my baby box.

I hope that you have enjoyed my tour.  Check back soon, we have gotten the go ahead from my doctor to start trying as soon as next week.
