Cohens in Moscow: Nursery Pictures

I suppose that being 4 days overdue has its pros. Like being able to crochet baby a Halloween pumpkin hat. And actually posting pictures of the nursery that we worked for so long on. So here they are! The long awaited nursery in its finished condition (ok, we're still shopping for a floor lamp to go behind the rocking chair, but besides that it's finished).

So first off, here's a picture of the nursery from standing in the doorway. I tried to get in as much of it as I could, what you're missing is the changing table and dresser and closet which are all on the right side of the picture.

And while the camera's flash might make everything nice and clear, it also tends to distort the colors so here's a more fuzzy shot of the room, but with the colors much softer and prettier than the first:

Here's a close-up of the crib, the canopy, and the dresser with its cute little stuffed animals and carrousel on it. The bassinet is only temporarily to be stored there, until baby graduates to her crib.

Next we have a shot of the rocking chair corner (imagine a really cute floor lamp that I'm going to find on sale somewhere).

These are the two cute animal prints that complete the set of three mom and I made for baby's room out of greeting cards. I love how they turned out!

And on the wall next to the rocking chair we have our fabulous craigslist bookshelf!

And I have to point out what mom and I have dubbed the frog-house.

We couldn't decide what to put on the top shelf, until mom came up with the brilliant idea of a bird-cage. So we spent an afternoon scouring all the stores in Moscow and Pullman looking for a bird-cage and we found the perfect one. For 70 dollars. So with that plan out the window we came to our last stop, the antique mall on Main/Washington street, and found this charming little house for only $20. Stick a couple of frogs on it and it becomes a frog-house. Ta-da!

These adorable elephants were giving to me by my friends Deborah and Lydia. They parade along the second shelf of baby's bookshelf and I can't wait until she's old enough to play with them. They're so cute!

And last we have the changing table side of the room. Please notice the lining on the baskets underneath the changing table are of the same fabric as the rocking chair pillow. That's because my mother very kindly made them for me after we could not find baskets with a lining that matched our color scheme.

Plus she also sewed the adorable banner that goes over the changing table so that we could stick with the fabric scheme we already had. Isn't she fabulous?
