More Nursery Work...

This weekend, we found the perfect chair for Norah's room. The style is super cute AND super comfy. You'd be surprised how many nursery chairs we sat in this weekend were NOT comfortable, I mean, what's the point of picking an uncomfortable chair to sit in at 2 a.m. feedings? Our new friends at Baby Junction in Acworth were a tremendous help- I highly recommend visiting them if you're in Atlanta.

Here's the chair:


And here's the fabric:


I made Brad go to the fabric store with me (which he NEVER does b/c of the flashbacks he has from the many trips to Lewis Textile with his mom as a little boy) and we picked out a really cute pink, yellow, green and white striped fabric for the curtains. They'll be lined in a pink and white houndstooth. He was really disappointed to learn (as we were leaving) that there was a "customer lounge" with a TV, sports magazines and leather couches (AKA a man-retreat) where he could have sat while I looked at fabric, but I think he enjoys helping pick out stuff for Norah's room.

If there is some of the houndstooth fabric leftover, I think I'll make Lila a bed in Norah's room. Brad has it in his mind that she'll want to sleep in there to "protect" her little sister. He also saw a little sign at the fabric store that said "Sisters make the best friends" that he wanted to get to hang over Lila's bed.

All of the fabric is cut, I just need to break out the sewing machine.

I can't wait to post the finished pictures...

AND I can't wait to see pictures! I am shocked that the nursery chairs were so uncomfy--did you check the PB chairs? I have always wondered if they were comfy or not--would like your verdict on this if you have one.

You are so freakin' creative! Why aren't we neighbors??? :) Lila will be so happy to have her own bed--but will Lucky be bummed? Big brothers are important, too! (just taking up for Lucky-dog!)
