starting on the girl's room

I have finally started in on the girl's room. Amelie's room for now of course, but once our dovie arrives they'll be roomies once she's old enough. Actually it's mostly finished, I just have a few details to work on. I'm saving the nursery portion of the room for later but we have a spot all picked out for the crib.

 I love this idea for a mobile. It's very Anthropologieish, if I can say that. It would be a fairly simple project to take on. Though I might have to hang it elsewhere just so I didn't have nightmares of that book falling on my babies head. Because I really would worry about something like that.  From this etsy shop found via Lay Baby Lay. If you've haven't checked out her blog, it's definitely worth a glance.  

C's room

The little man's room is finished for now, until he gets his own bed after the baby comes. It's funny to me that the rooms I don't care as much are so much easier to finish. It's because the ones I do care about a lot I have higher expectations I guess. I want everything to be just right in those rooms and I don't want to put just anything in there.

Anyways, one day I'd like to have a good chair in this room for reading but for now we just lay on the floor. And maybe an industrial looking pendant light.  And one day it won't have green carpet but for now it's great.

I found this shelf at an antique shop. Brett calls it my zatara shelf. I have to admit it does kind of look like drift wood but I like it just the same.

Can I tell you I've had to move up those pictures above the crib twice. He is getting so tall. And our crib is broken right now. Did you notice how there's a side missing? Yup, it's gone. We need to order the pieces that hold it up.
