Last Look at Jack's Nursery :(

Oh goodness. Just the title is killing me. 

I've been REALLY excited about getting the Big Boy Room (BBR) ready for Jack (and Little Brother when he's a bit older), but for the BBR to be done, Jack's nursery as it has always been, has to be dismantled a bit. :( 

So I thought I would do one last look at the nursery before we start moving things around. 
Here's what the room looks like right now

And a final video tour I did the other day:

My little boy looks SO BIG in his bed!!

...compared to the tiny little thing he was in this picture at 6 weeks - ahh!!

The gallery wall still looks the same as it did when I finished it - I will DEFINITELY have a hard time taking this down! (to move some of the pieces over to the BBR)

One funny change is this wall:
Besides looking like completely different colored dressers (the first picture is more accurate), you can tell that Little Man has accumulated a TON of stuffed animals over the last year and a half! We're going to add a new element in the BBR to corral some of these friends, so that the bookshelf can be available to hold - wait for it - more books!


Well... nothing left to do now but start moving stuff! We're going to try to move everything but his crib to the BBR and bring in the full sized bed from the office/guest room in the next few days. Then we'll let him start sleeping in the new room! He already loves it - my mom painted it and we did a cool feature wall(!!), and he goes in there all the time and says "Jack's NEWWWWW room", so I think he will be happy to move. It's just Mama we have to worry about over here!

Do you get sad when the "end of an era" comes? Surely I'm not the only sap around here...

  2. I get sappy just TALKING about new eras -- we were talking about when we sell the house (in the distant future) and I started balling because Sam told me he loved me and then proposed 8 months later in the living room. And the stone on the fireplace is from our friend's house that we met at. So many memories and it's going to be hard to leave them one day. :)

    1. Oh gosh, I'm with you about the house-selling-talk. The last time we talked about it, I couldn't think about leaving the place where we brought Jack (and soon to be Little Brother) home from the hospital! TOO MUCH!!! (Even though there's 100 things I'd love in a new house... It's just the principle!)

    2. AND, now that I'm going back and reading this again - I don't think I put together that we BOTH got proposed to in our living rooms!! How sweet are our guys?! :)

  3. I get more sad when I look back now. When I realize how long ago everything really was and how fast it all went by. At least you have another little one coming soon to hold you over :)

    It gets exciting though. I am about to do Mady's room re-do in this new house and can not wait. In the 2.5 years we lived in the old house, we did total re-do 4 times. HAHA.. I love to decorate and as she grows so does her room. This new room she will have is geared towards it growing with her. Guess we will wait and see how long that last..

    belly pics please?!

    1. Oh I know! I can't believe how grown up Mady is getting! She seems like such a sweet sweet girl! I love the ideas you have for her room! That will be sooooo cute. Hoping that someday I get to do a little girl's room too! :)
