Dream Playroom/Kids room

Every so often I think it's fun to post what I would do with certain areas in my house if money was no object.   Here is the bathroom edition and Here is the kitchen edition.

Today's edition is the dream kids room/playroom.  All images come from pinterest.  You can follow my boards by clicking the pinterest image to the right or by visiting my profile.

Baby Girl's Nursery

(Some of these pictures are going to show how messy the room used to be; don't judge please! lol)

Last summer I won all the themed stuff (Nojo jungle babies).  Had I not won it, I wouldn't have gone with a theme, and even as it is we didn't use everything that came with the set.

I won a lot of what is in the theme (2 crib sheets, comforter, mesh and plush bumper, stuffed animal, border, wooden plaques, wall decals, fleece blanket, crib pad, lovey blanket, diaper stacker, window valance, mobile)

The fabric bumper was out for safety reasons & the valance was to big so that was also out.  The comforter is in the crib, but will be removed when she sleeps in it. 

When we went to babies r us to register Rob saw the butterfly and the flower wall plaques and decided baby girl needed some pink so he bought her them.

Then we got the pink changing pad cover (We also have a brown one as well).

The dressers actually is part of a set that matches the bed and chest in our room.

The changing table is a Graco lauren

The crib was given to us so I don't know what brand it is.

Bonus: This is what the room liked like 4 years ago when Rob bought the house.

Pre-organization

View from the door

The changing table sits right next to the crib

Middle shelf. The small green basket has a few toys and mini books for distractions during diaper changes.Behind it is a sound machine (located there for proximity to the crib).  The 2 brown baskets have cloth diapers and disposable wipes and the extra changing pad cover.
Bottom shelf:  The white and pink basket has receiving blankets (to be used as burp cloths), then the small brown basket has diaper cream, and baby lotion etc..., The other brown basket has pacifiers (several different brands).
The green case on the far right has medicine, thermometer, and the baby comfy nose that I reviewed earlier this summer. 

The 2 pictures below are the corner opposite the crib.

Top row: All newborn sized clothes, 0-3 month pajamas (I went through and weeded out some.  I had 25 pairs in there!), and then headbands, hats and scratch

All 0-3 month bottoms, 0-3 month onesies/tops, and socks/booties

Sleep sacks/swaddles, blankets & then shoes

Standing by the crib (you can see the changing table in the bottom corner)

The closet has the matching lamp (if we use it), a baby k'tan and ergo, 2 bathtubs (we have to figure out which one we want to use) on the top 2 shelfs.

On the right side of the closet are more diapers.  Newborn size and some size 1.  The breast pump; nursing supplies (cover, milk storage, breast pads etc..) are in the middle tote.  The tote with the pink lid has stuffed animals. 

To the left are postpartum cold packs/pads, a nursing pillow and a cloud b twilight turtle.

The keyfit caddy, and a portable swing are on the bottom, and the car seat is on the bottom

This is not nearly all the clothes she has.  These are just the 0-3 month hoodies/sweaters/dresses and new with tag items. 

The space in between the closet and the door has the glider (and the storage ottoman that doesn't match, but holds the books on the right; which after a sale, discounts, using the money I got after returning a duplicate item, plus a gift card, was free)

 Decals behind the glider

Lot's of books!  This ottoman is never going to move.  It would be so heavy

with all of the books in there. 

While she will be sleeping in the rock n play next to our bed at the beginning her room is all ready for her when she does start using it.  

I would have liked things to match a little better, but really it doesn't matter enough to me so I'm okay with how it turned out. 

Weekly Wrap Up 8/24

1) Baby girl's room is almost organized. Yeah for progress!  I don't have any clothes over 3 months in her room.  I didn't have space for it.  She has SO many clothes I'm sure she won't even get the chance to wear everything.  I'm planning a post soon of her room just so you can see it.  It started off with a theme, but wound up being a hodgepodge sort of room. 

2) I had baby shower number 3 this past weekend.  It was for my mom's side of the family.  We got the pack in play. It wasn't the print we registered for, but it was the same style.  I didn't need anything fancy.  I don't need the changing stations or all those bells and whistles.  I'm happy with what we got and I do like the print so it was a win.
 

My parents also got us the car seat which was the last thing we really needed to have. We got this one.  We are debating a second base.  I'm sure we will get one, but considering we don't really have to do separate daycare drop off/pick ups and if necessary we can just switch cars, I'm not sure that it's necessary.

3) I love the kids I watch.  They have their moments, and what kid doesn't, but sometimes I just feel so proud of them.  The 7 year old wanted to have a tea party, so she got out the little tea set and we made real tea together.  She used a medicine dropper to fill the little tea cups from the mug we made the tea in.
Her 12 year old sister made pancakes and she made them small enough to fit on the tea set plates and even sat down with her and participated in the party.
I know that being 12 years old doesn't always mean you want to play with your younger siblings, but it was really a sweet thing for her to do.

4) Tonight is my 10 year high school reunion.  Sometimes it is depressing to me because I feel like I haven't really done much with my life.  Which is silly and all comes down to the fact that I don't feel like I have a 'real job.'  I know I've talked about this before, and logically I know it is silly.  Not everyone could do my job or would want to.
 I have a husband I love, a house that is more than enough space for us to grow in to, and a sweet baby girl who is kicking my belly as I write this.  Really I am blessed and I shouldn't feel like the last 10 years have been a waste. 

5) I'm about to start my last week of work with nothing lined up.  It's nerve wracking and stressful and I feel really bad that I'm kind of looking forward to being done.  I'm sore and constantly feel in pain.  But I'm not about to just sit around and wait for baby to show up.  I have a few projects lined up to do.  I want to make book slings for baby's room, I am planning on making some freezer meals (which should be interesting considering standing for more than a few minutes hurts) & our basement is crazy full of baby stuff and while it's in totes it's still in need of organization.

6) I have another post that I'm planning on writing.  It's an update to one I wrote a long time ago about various ways I've found to earn a little bit of money or rewards for the things I do online.  Here is the original post.

7) My best friend is in town this weekend for our class reunion and my last baby shower at church tomorrow.  Yeah!

8)  As always you can follow me on different social media (See right sidebar).

Enjoy your Saturday!
