Chase's Nursery

Our little man's room is pretty much finished - now just awaiting his arrival...about 5 more weeks!  His room got a lot smaller once we moved the crib in - but is functional as a guest room and nursery.  I still need to go through his clothes and start digging out the baby gear from the attic, but at least his room is decorated, right?  :)








 In case you have ever wondered if you can use hot glue to make a crib skirt - the answer is yes.  I just cut the fabric to fit around the crib, ironed straight hems, and then hot glued everything together.  It was way easier than actually sewing it :)  I think it worked so well because it was outdoor fabric which is a little heavier.

Awwww...you're having a little boy? That will be so much fun, we have a boy and a girl, too! There is definitely a big difference in raising the two, but completely different amazing things, too! His room is *adorable*!!! I am in love with the green/gray/white color palette, sweet and sophisticated (c: And brilliant on the hot glue crib skirt...it looks GREAT!

Anne I LOVE it!!! Way to go...using similar materials for the throw pillow and bed skirt...great way to incorporate the 2 functions of the room! Good luck in the last 5 weeks! And those elephants are adorable

HAHA! You crack me up! I so am going through this phase but we have so many projects that are in progress that I get the look of death. I'm think of doing some sort of molding in our nursery though!

I seriously love your dining room! I wish we had a formal dining room...I guess it's time to move!

Okay...I thought those were written together. Makes sense why they're not. Blame the pregnancy brain!

Beautiful space! I love the pops of green. What a great idea to use outdoor fabric for the bedskirt!! And a no sew idea is thumbs up in my book! :)
