Sharing our Nursery Pics!!! - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

The nursery isn't ~quite~ done...but it's close enough!

Diaper changing station - hubby made this cabinet in highschool as a tv stand - later it was our microwave stand - and now it's our diaper changing stand

All he had to do was add a longer top to it so it would fit a changing pad. The diaper pail (to be picked up at Target today!) will go on the right hand side where the diaper bag is currently sitting on the floor.

Crib and dresser... My mom made the crib skirt. It's green with a pond like scene on it with butterflies and dragon flies and purple iris and lily pads. I've got the big iris picture currently leaning up on the dresser, but it will be put up on a wall - just can't decide if I want it on the wall where it is...or on the yellow wall next to it... (any opinions?)

Window and rocker. Mom made the curtain to match the crib skirt. You can't see it in the picture, but each of the points on the curtain has a little butterfly pinned onto it. The teddy in the chair is modeling my first ever pinned prefold

Eventually, there will be a oak book shelf built by hubby and put up on the big yellow wall above the rocker. The little steamer trunk has baby shoes in it and I thought it'd be perfect place to set a drink while breastfeeding! Baby Girl Miranda decided to jump in the chair for this picture

Closet - this is going to have a mirrored bifold door put on it whenever we get a chance to go to Lowe's and get one.

Just wanted to share

Awww it looks beautiful!! It looks so cozy and your mom did a great job with the curtain.

I can't decide which wall the picture shoudl go on, either! Maybe the yellow so it doesn't compete with the cute letters above the crib?

Very nice! I don't think I would ever have the patience to paint stripes like that!
One of your pics isn't showing for me. NM It is now!
I'd put the iris pic above the dresser.

What I meant is that my dh isn't the best at perfectionist work such as that and my stripes wouldn't look very nice.
