I have been surprised in many unexcpected ways during this pregnancy so far. It seems, in some areas, my Type A personality has been transformed into being laid back and go with the flow. Not that this is a bad thing mind you......it simply means that I am 12.5 weeks from delivery and Baby Seymour's nursery is no more completed than it was months ago. We have beautiful furniture, fabric, and paint...but none of it has been started.
I have also found that my being picky got worse when it came to picking out nursery stuff. I did not want a theme or for the room to appear "babyish." Several months ago Jonathan and I stumbled on some beautiful furniture at Southern Estates Antique Mall (highly recommended if you like antiques). We bought a normal sized dresser as storage and a smaller dresser with mirror that will be both storage and a changing table. The mirror will of course come off until later. The crib is brand new but we were lucky enough to find a design that compliments the antiques perfectly. They are all a very dark wood....I think you would call it mahogany.
We have decided to use sage green and white as the colors. Jonathan's mom is a wonderful seamstress and is working on the bedding and window treatment. The paint has been purchased, and we have decided on how to paint, but of course no paint is on the wall.
So, needless to say, things are progressing slower than I ever imagined I would let them. But Jonathan is loving the laid back Mandy, so there are certainly positives to this change.
I'll keep you updated on the nurseries progress.
