the nursery is done!

The nursery is done - yeah!!! We are very happy with how it turned out. Here are pictures...

Before...


Aaron putting together the crib....(and Page hanging out - she likes to sleep in the nursery...)


This is from Jen - it is on the door.


This is what you see when you walk in!

We had a bit of a hard time finding art - or something - to put on the walls. We wanted something child-like but still something that WE enjoyed, something feminine, and something that matched with the room. We were making our final stop of our shopping trip at Michaels and we found the print that is on the wall below. The following picture is a close up. There was NO WAY we WEREN'T going to buy it after we saw it...
Can you even believe it?!?! It says MIMI on it!! Insane. It is exactly what we were looking for, and it matches the colors PERFECTLY.
Gotta love the Ugly Doll my mom bought for Matea!
For some reason I didn't take a picture of the wall with the mirrored closet door. There isn't much to see there - we bought a frame that matches the "mimi" print, and we are planning on putting a photo that we take in Africa in it.

We have been so incredibly blessed by friends and family, I can't even begin to tell you. Most of the things in the nursery have been given to us and we are SO thankful. Now all we need is a travel date to go get the munchkin!!

Love the Mimi picture! Now to just see the "real" Mimi will be icing on the cake, so to speak! Anxiously awaiting her arrival, Grandma and Grandpa Peterson

I especially love the rug! Where did you get that?

I'm glad things are going so well - she is adorable! I've been praying for you guys - I hope you can go get her soon.
