The Nursery....

We have begun to work on the nursery. The furniture arrived a week ago, and today, we picked out flooring and ordered the materials necessary for the walls. We are going to do wainscoting along the walls, and Bamboo for the flooring. We have a friend Carol, who is an interior decorator, who will be painting the room as a gift to us. She plans on doing clouds, with a panda bear on one wall, which was inspired by a chocolate bar. If it involves chocolate, I am in! The furniture is an antique black from College woodworking. (Canadian Craftsman, yeah!). We decided to go with a convertible bed which will go from crib to toddler bed, to a double bed, and the above storage unit for a dresser/change table, which she can use later on for pictures etc..

It will be beautiful when it is done. Unfortunately, the gentleman who makes the wainscoting from the one supplier passed away before the holidays, so we had to order it in, and it will take up to 4 weeks, but patience is a virtue, so we are told!

The above fabric is what we are using in the room. It is a heavy Waverly print and it is coupled with a green and white and blue and white check. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued by the company that makes it, but I seem to have that happen a lot. It happened with my china and crystal too. I must be late at finding beautiful things!
