Behold! The Nursery.

Some people might say that we've got plenty of time to prepare for the arrival of our baby girls. Well, those people probably don't know us too well, lol. I am one of the biggest procrastinators ever! So, when it came time to start working on the nursery I made a conscious effort to get it done in a timely fashion.

Erica and I pored over design ideas for the room once we found out the gender. Some inspiration came from the bedding we picked out previously at Babies'R'Us. We finally decided on a color scheme of half beige and half light pink (I insisted on pink... hey, I might as well embrace my feminine side). Then there was the task of picking out a border to surround the room and there were just so many options. Some with colors that didn't quite match, some too wide, some too baby-ish, some TOO pink. We finally find the perfect border and ordered it off the internet. (You see where this is going, right?) It gets delivered and is completely different than advertised on the website. Blah! We return it and go to the local store and decided upon one that we both really liked.

Edit from Erica: THIS is the border we originally picked - the background of that, to our surprise, was blue.

Credit has to be given to my dad who really helped out with painting and moldings during a recent visit. There was plenty of stuff to clear out of the girls' closet to make room for baby things and new shelves to put up. We even bought a cute little light switch plate and brand new shades for the windows. Check out the pictures over in our Flickr Album and tell us what you think.
