The room is painted, a few decals have been bought and now I'm starting to make some of my own art for Honeybean. I'm dreaming up a lot of map/travel inspired ideas and also paintings and collages of woodland creatures (owls, bears, racoons, etc). Seeing how much of an impact Emmett's room has had on him as far as the animals go makes me really want to include animals in the new nursery. I can hear Emmett making different animal noises in his crib in the mornings and I know that he is entertained with his jungle room. I remember the first time he pointed to some of the artwork that I made for him and I can tell that he really does love it. That makes me so incredibly happy and I want the same for my newbie!
We have an old shelf and drawer piece from my Grandpa Gil that we are going to re-paint in a dark grey. I can fill the top glass part with books and little stuffed animals and then store some of honeybean's clothes in the bottom drawers. I am really looking forward to re-purposing this old item.
Eric is going to turn the bed in the nursery into a murphy's bed that can go up on the wall and will look like a a wall of shelves when it's propped up. That way when we have guests stay over, we can still use that room and have honeybean stay upstairs with us in a pack n' play. I think Eric is a genius!!
Lots of plans and not so much time! Less than 3 months to go! YIKES!
