Baby Room

The crib! I wanted white but couldn't find anything in white that wasn't either insanely expensive or not to my taste. Now that I have it, I'm actually much happier with the cinnamon color I chose instead. The baby bumper was a clearance item at Target. It was quite a find. The baby blanket hanging on the right side of the crib was my first baby present and was given to me by one of my students. I loved it so much that I decided to decorate the entire baby room around it, thus you find the pale green walls.

This wall was my sister's idea: children's book covers framed. Her original idea was to buy the hard back books and frame the dust covers. That idea turned out to be a bit pricey, so my mom decided instead to print out pictures of the book covers and frame them. Love it!

And, last but not least... the changing table... which as you can see is very empty for the time being. Not for long, though, I'm sure. The stuffed animals hanging above were gifts that my students gave me throughout the school year. At the end of the year when they found out I was pregnant they made me promise to give them to the baby. Too sweet.

So the room is all ready for baby and Michael and me when we return to Cali in March or April. It's very fun to have it all ready and waiting for us. Thanks Mom and Dad!
