The Nursery

Our house was originally 2 bedrooms when it was built in 1938. In 1952, the family who was living here at the time added on a third room which is only accessible off of the second bedroom (our current master). That layout only allows for 1 of two options: an office, or a nursery. Ours was an office + laundry room, and is now a nursery + laundry room. Laundry doesn't get finished very often these days with a sleeping baby.

The room was originally wood paneled, right down to the bathroom. It was definitely interesting.



Then, it became our office/throw everything else that doesn't fit into the other rooms room, which I don't even have a picture of.

Now it is our daughter's room. My talented cousin Joyce aka Painter/Baker/Decorator Extraordinaire painted a beautiful tree from scratch for the nursery. Here she is in the middle of the night painting away:



I requested an owl for the tree to make it a little bit more interesting. It is actually kind of difficult to pick a tree that is friendly without being overly cute. A tree can turn sinister very easily. Here is the final outcome of the tree:



Andrew added some shelves:
