Come On In Shane's Nursery

I had so much fun sharing Keith's nurser that I wanted to share what Shane's nurser looked like. If you wanted to see Keith's nursery you can read all about hit here. Today I am sharing Shane's nursery. This little room no longer exists in my home but it was fun to look back and see how his room started and how much it has changed! Come on in!

We waited until we found out that we were having a boy in September before we even talked about names or a nursery. Once we announced we were expecting and the gender around 24 weeks we tackled cleaning out what was our guest room and decorating a nursery 

We started really simple with a Kendall crib that was a shorter model and a matching dresser with a change table on top. I found the crib bedding with airplanes and really liked it so we purchased the sheets, the red madras crib bumpper and skirt, and selected a bit of  a travel/airplane theme to his room. 

I painted and stamped a little sign on the entry which recently changed but for about $1.50 this made the entry into his room fun and stuck with the aviation theme. 

We used my late grandmother's rocking chair in the room and tossed a throw blanket over it in a matching red. The blanket is from Pottery Barn. I found a hand made wooden airplane that we strung from the ceiling and then we printed off some images of a compass (not shown) and airplane and ordered a map from Etsy for $3. I have three Pottery Barn frames. All in all I spent more on the frames than the art work but I figured the frames would last a long time and knew Shane would want to change the art over time.

Once we had Shane we ordered his name and mounted it above his crib. If you look close, yes that is my baby sleeping on a weird wedge. Both my boys had acid reflex BAD and we were given an Rx for a sleeping wedge designed by an OT. It is totally safe and was a complete game changer with sleep for my kids.

So that was how my sweet Shane's room looked when he was a baby. I will share in a couple weeks how we moved him into his twin bed and pictures of what his toddler room looks like now. Much more color and a lot more functional but still his special spot.
