Nursery Side Table

Landon is officially moved into the nursery! He has slept in his own room the last 3 nights. I’d like to say it’s going well but…not so much. His first night was amazing, slept 8pm to almost 7am, only waking up twice for his pacifier. The last 2 nights and now today, however, have been a bit more challenging.

I’ve read about babies having separation anxiety when being moved to their own room. Is this really a thing? Any other mamas experience this? I’m pretty sure the little guy is just going through the tough part ofย his 5 month growth spurt but this separation anxiety thing was interesting to read about. Either way, I’m sure it will resolve in a couple days and we’ll be back on track ๐Ÿ™‚

Almost done in the nursery!!! Just a couple more pieces to put in place and/or build, a little organization of clothing…how did he grow out of so much stuff already!!…and then some finishing touches, like crown molding and painting the door and trim. When I type it all out like that, it seems a little more daunting.

You might recognize the table I am using for the side table in the nursery. It is a matching set with my living room side table and coffee table. I didn’t really have a need for a second side table in the living room so I’ve just had this table sitting around for a while now. I’m doing mostly dark iron accents in the nursery so the rusty metal details on this cedar chest table worked out perfectly.

What I really love about this piece is that the top opens up and you can store a lot inside. I think it’ll be a great place to store extra blankets in summer months. As with everything these days, I painted the table white. Surprised?? Yea, I didn’t think so ๐Ÿ™‚ I kept it simple and really wanted to wood panel edges to show through so I did a lot of sanding to make those edges stand out. I used my Heirloom Traditions Chalk Paint in A La Mode (2 coats), followed by a coat of clear wax to seal it and then 180 grit sandpaper along the edges and seams.

Just a cute little piece to finish up this wall! I added a few simple things on top for a decorative touch. This cute little soft blocks from Pottery Barn Baby, this faux sage plant from Ikea that I am OBSESSED with lately. I bought so many of them and they are popping up all over my house. (As if they are appearing on their own and not being placed all over by me ๐Ÿ™‚ Haha!) And, this Edison bulb Cloche Lamp from World Market. I saw this so long ago and loved it, it was actually one of the first things I bought for the nursery. I have lighting pieces from World Market all over my house…it’s becoming a problem…in fact, just now when I went to their website to link this lamp, I found another one I want to get. Oops!

Pretty basic transformation but I love how it turned out! And getting closer and closer to finally having a full room reveal of the nursery for you ๐Ÿ™‚ Someday…if I can get my act together ๐Ÿ™‚
