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 of 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 🙂
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 🙂 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 🙂 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 🙂 Someday…if I can get my act together 🙂
What an interesting piece of furniture! I just love it, especially now that it’s in white.
