Oh my, it's been a while!

Yes, I know, I know...it's only been 5 months since I last posted! Oops! I'm sure people have stopped checking in. Lots of news since December, though! Most of you know that Brooke and I are expecting our first baby, a little girl! She's due September 3rd and after much discussion, we've decided on her name, Mary Corinne. We've painted the office since my last post, Ashley Gray. Brooke also refinished the floors in there and they look great. But, none of that is as exciting as the nursery post, so I'll get that up first and then move on to the office. Oh, and yes, the stairway and hallway to our room and the nursery is now the same half strength peanut shell as in the downstairs hallway. SO much better!

On we go with the nursery! Of course, most of you know I couldn't be completely normal with the colors. But, I didn't want to go too wild. At this point I suppose the colors are pretty typical of the rest of our house...coral, aqua/turquoise, and celery green. I found a bumper that I LOVED at Serena and Lily that inspired everything. And, then I found some coral fabric that I couldn't part with, so I ordered that too. Then, it was just trying to decide how to tie it all together. So, I've posted some photos below that will hopefully help! We'll be using a dresser from my Grandmother Clara's house and repainting that for a dresser and changing table. Going to Scott's in Atlanta in June to look for an armoire and we'll be ordering a glider that's celery and white stripe. And then there's still the rug and wall decor. Whew, I'm tired!


Oh, and one thing I forgot to include...the link to the lamp that I want for next to the glider (in celery and white stripe):
