The Nursery....a work in progress

So I wanted to post a pic of the nursery, as it looks now, since a few people have asked about a theme.  To be honest, we are all over the map in terms of a theme.  The closest we have come to anything specific is vintage transportation but I pretty much add items as I go...the stuffed animal moose head above the crib for instance.  (Felt compelled to buy that thing and justified the expense by giving it to Steve as a birthday gift...terrible, right?)
 
For now I am proud of the paint work I did on the crib.  I am not much of a do-it-yourself-er but I decided I wanted the crib a farmhouse red so off to the paint store I went.  I don't do anything fast anymore so it took me almost a month to finish the project.  This was actually my old crib that both Warren and I slept in when we were little.  Seemed fitting to clean her up and use her again.

In any case, the nursery is still a work in progress.  I move stuff around every day trying to figure out what would be most practical. I still need to figure out an area for the changing table and I want to add some storage shelving but I'm not 100% sure where I want to put everything yet so I am trying not to rush it.

I'll keep you posted as I go.
