Show us were you live Friday: Nurseries

I waited a long time to have a nursery in my house. After years of infertility, we adopted last summer. Our amazing M was born on June 2, she will be 1 in just 5 short days. What an amazing year it has been, God is Good ALL the time! Her room was originally blue and green, when we found out she would be a she, we painted 3 walls pink! We worked on her room up until the night before she was born. The night before she was born, I thought her room needed something else, so we painted a big tree that matched her bedding, I think it turned out well. We were up until past midnight with a few Wal-mart runs for paint and sharpie markers. The bedding in her room is from Pottery Barn. Ryan and I said, she might be our only child, so let's get what we want, and that's exactly what we did. I love the white crib, especially since it was free! We didnt' want to buy furniture incase something happened and we didn't get to bring M home with us, so a great friend, who had twins gave us this beautiful white crib. Letters from Pottery Barn. Got them on clearance! And part of the tree we painted, with birds.


Awesome surprise glider from my parents. It's a Best Chair and is super comfy. They surprised us with the chair and some how snuck it into our house when we were not at home.
This is just one of the flower wall lamps from IKEA, they make great nightlights. The picture on the side wall is from M's 'Welcome to the World Party' (in lieu of a baby shower). We had everyone sign and write a little message/prayer. I think it's a great idea, many of my friends have done this; good keepsake with a newborn photo.
The top of M's dresser/changing table. I love the baskets, they hold diapers and lotions.
M's dresser/changing table. Also from IKEA. Hopefully it will be good for years to come.
Here is the tree we painted the night before M was born. It has the same birds that are on the bedding, we just made a stencil and painted them on. Then we sharpied the beaks and legs.
