Thank you Kim. 

We are so excited!  Kim from DearDaisyCottage.com dropped by this weekend for a photo shoot of Kate’s nursery.  We are anxiously awaiting to see Kim’s gift for detail and color come to life through the photos of Kate’s room.  We will keep you updated on the posting when it is available on her blog.  Thank you Kim!

Baby Mamas and Papas rave about Peg Perego and Bugaboo, but they are a distant second to Kathryn’s Sweet Buggy.  A little elbow grease and she will be ready to roll.

Don’t you think Kate will look great riding in vintage style?  This Collier brand pram is built like a tank – they sure don’t make them like they used to.

Say it four times quickly – Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers, Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers, Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers, Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers.

Hi, I’m Kathryn.  Glad to meet you.  My mommy and daddy have been very busy taking care of me and haven’t had a minute to do anything else.  I hear about garage sales and flea markets.  I don’t know what these are yet, but I think I will be finding out soon!  Gotta go, due for a diaper change!

With a little less than a month to go until baby numero uno arrives, the pressure is on to get the nursery in order.  We have tirelessly been working towards completing the painting and decorating.  Our theme is 1920′s-1950′s vintage baby and we’ve spent the last nine months collecting all kinds of baby items, everything from sheep shaped planters to a vintage pram.

We are expecting a surprise, so our color pallette is neutral – shades of yellow, green, blue, and brown.  Since it is a nursery and we feel it is good to get started on the right foot environmentally we are using No VOC paint with No VOC colorant.  The only manufacturer we were able to find that offered this option is Freshaire and is easily available at The Home Depot.  One of the many advantages of NO VOC paint is that mom can paint too!  I know, I know – I am allowing my pregnant wife to paint.  Believe me, she would wants to be painting.  We chose Slender Reed for the walls and Tranquil Pond for the ceiling.  Doesn’t it sound refreshing?  We are painting the furniture a light green color called Northern Pear.  After the remake, my former office should be a calming place for mom, dad, and baby to relax.  We are trying to stay away from chaotic primary color Fisher Price inspired madness.

February 16th is the due date.  How close to the date do you think the delivery will be?  Is it going to be a boy or girl?  Lisa thinks boy, I think girl.  We are excited about either – or both (?).

Here is a look at the room before the remake.

Here is a photo of us slaving away – not really, we are having fun.

Our other babies trying out the new bassinet (new to us)!

Currently, it is a lovely mess.  I’ll let Lisa do the reveal in the next couple weeks.
