Camden's Nursery

Here are some photos of our nearly completed nursery. The room is so small. It was hard to get a good picture of it all in one photo. Putting his letters on the wall above his crib is all we have left to do!

The first photo is the nursery entry way. Because it is also being used as a guest room there was really no other way to arrange the crib. The entry is kind of a tight squeeze but gives the room a nook-type feeling, I think.

We re-finished my old wicker toy chest for more storage which was very nostalgic for me. I found the throw pillows and dog frames from TJMaxx which gives it a clean look and coordinates the furniture together.

As you can see, we did not go with a traditional dresser for him. We kept the metal bookcase we had that use to hold Matt's school books and moved Matt's books into another bookcase in the living room. Then I just used baskets to hold all his clothes, diapers, burp cloths, etc.

The closet happens to be crammed with all of our winter clothes, luggage, and maternity clothes. Needless to say, we have limited storage space. We originally thought about putting shelving or sconces on either side of the two dog frames but we still needed a place to store Matt's guitars. So we decided to hang the guitars up instead. It keeps them away from babies' hands yet easily accessible.
