Jackson's Room

I dont have any before pictures of his room, but you can imagine an empty room with white walls. This has kind of been our storage room for the last two years. I have been dying to get my hands on it, but saw no point until we were pregnant. I was kind of bummed when I found out he was a boy because I was dying to turn that room into a girly girl room. BUT, alas, God has given us a boy and I am now uber excited about that. I made his room as girly as possible without being too feminine. Plus, he's a baby. He wont know any better.

Ordered Jacks crib from Walmart and put it together all by myself. Im pretty sure it would have been quite humorous to watch me put this together, but I did it! I painted the canvas above his letters. I love the Bible verse and am grateful that God chose to give us this little guy. He has been prayed for like crazy, and I have a feeling this is just the beginning of our prayers.

A full view of his room. I love the paint color I chose and am kind of proud of myself for painting it in my third trimester. (I used pregnant friendly paint)

Here is a picture of his dresser and comfy chair! His dresser spells out his name on the middle drawers. Big fan of Hobby Lobby where I got his drawer pulls 50% off. The dresser was my moms when she was a little kid. I painted it white and distressed it.


Here is his bookshelf from Ikea. The bulletin board above was made my sister in law Conni. Cant wait to put some of his new born pictures on it. The diaper cake was made by my lovely neighbor Heather. So cute!

Sarah - the room looks GREAT!! I am in love with that color blue (it looks like the dark blue we have in our living room) and I think I already told you that you did a fantastic job on that dresser. Awesome work - your artsy, crafty cousin is very impressed and inspired :-)
