Finishing Touches

The nursery is finally done! Pillows are in place, chandelier is hung, and a few family mementos are displayed.

I love the fabric on the glider, it's an Annie Selke design. I blogged about Annie Selke in one of my first blog posts.

The mirror above the twin bed was a steal at $40 from Hobby Lobby. All wall decor was 50% off the day we went.

The photo below is of my maternal great-grandmother, Minnie Lee Laney (Jenkins). The brooch on the book belonged to her mother, Ola Laney. The silver brushes were mine and the diaper pins were Donald's.

My mom and I found the iron hook piece at Hobby Lobby and hung my point shoes (used briefly before I quit ballet at age 13), dried flowers from my family shower, and a sweet little dress that my sister-in-law's mom and sister got us. 

Speaking of dresses, here is the dress that Laney will wear home from the hospital. It's a family tradition to bring babies home in a Feltman (or similar) outfit. 

I have to include this adorable card that my nieces Laura Brittain and Peyton made and is now on the cork board in the nursery. The "I hope she's cute!" part is so funny. Love it. 

Nursery Art

I wanted to share photos of the antique plates and other art we've hung in Laney's room.

I love the transferware dishes we found on etsy.com. Thanks Mom for buying them for Laney! They are considered red, but they have faded to pink with age. They look great with all the fabrics and furniture in the room. And I'm proud that I managed to hang them by myself!

Next to the window is this Degas print that I've owned for years and finally found the perfect place for it.

And between the door and the closet is a bulletin board and small rabbit painting. I like how the gold frames pull in the gold from the drapes.

Mom is finishing up the pillow for the gilder and pillowcase and throw pillow for the twin bed. Then we'll hang something over the twin bed - either the framed dress I wore as a baby or possibly a mirror. Can't believe only 5 weeks to go and she will be here.
