the first big baby reveal… the nursery
Sure there are some more finishing touches to add… but I figured it wasn’t fair not to share all the hard work that Mr. M put into Baby M’s new room. Sadly the photos are still not as nice as I wanted them… but I think they can make do for now! I will fully admit that outside of holding a couple of things for him, he did this all on his own from concept to design… and he did a darn good job on everything! So without further adieu… I present Baby M’s new room:
.
.
The view of the room from the hallway door. The room was originally just the cochise color that you see on the topside of the room… so Mr. M added in all the chair rail and painted as well.
.
.
The crib and “Lilo and Stitch” artwork (from Mr. M’s collection way back in the day) above the crib.
..
..
The changing table and custom mini surfboards.
.
.
The wall shelves — with the edges painted to match the crib colors.
..
.
The very fun birdie wall mobile — hanging above the hallway door.
.
.
And finally, the closet area… with the hamper, clock, and some old artwork from my first apartment (that also had a Hawaiian theme).

I’m sure this won’t be the last time you see the nursery… but it may be the cleanest it will be for some time to come! I hope it was worth the wait… and don’t worry… if there’s a girl on the way, I’m sure it’ll easily be infused with many hibiscus flowers!

Very awesome! I would like to sleep in that room! :)
BTW, Jay wants to know if that’s as high as the mattress goes on the crib?

love, Love, LOVE! He did a great job! I love how it has a theme, but isn’t totally overdone… The colours are totally gender neutral (and I honestly think that it is hard to do!).
The surfboards look so good (as does your change pad cover :).
Be sure to check out my blog once baby is born – the post is ready to go up, but when I took pics I left little letters with her name on it…oops! So I’m trying to wait until she arrives until I hit *publish*
Not long now until our babies are here!!!!!
PS That is one gorgeous crib too…made me wish we went with something with more longevity than the ikea one…

So cute! Lucky baby! Though I have to admit I’m surprised it’s not UCLA-themed. ;)

So adorable. I think it’s the sweetest thing that Mr. M. did this for future baby girl/boy.
I think I want that bird mobile for myself!

I love the bird mobile! Where did you get it? I think I need one for my baby’s room
Mr. M
@ Kate. We picked it up at Goore’s (a local baby superstore). http://www.goores.com/goores/
For those of you that might not have seen the twitter/facebook updates, Lena Marie was born on Thursday night at 5:57 pm. Mother and daughter are resting still, but I’m sure Kim will be back to blogging as soon as she’s able.

You might want to put some plexiglass on the the hallway railing so the baby can’t get her head stuck.
Grace
Congrats!
