The Nursery

Well, it’s finally finished. And our good friend Aaron was kind enough to come over and take some pictures of Soren’s newly completed nursery.  Now before you look at these photos and ask yourself, “Why did Britta and Brandon want Soren to think he was sleeping in a log cabin?” I have some explaining to do.

Almost two years ago, we purchased a house that was built in 1960.  The woman we bought the home from was the original owner and had built the house herself along with her husband and father.  It was quite the time capsule.  In addition to that, the house was sort of having an identity crisis.  It kind of yearned to be a pimpy, atomic ranch but at the same time couldn’t let go of it’s rural roots.  So there were things like an awesome Sputnik light fixture just inside the front door, as well as a chandelier made out of a wagon wheel hanging in the dining room.  Whoa.  So we did some remodeling and now we love the house so much.  Anyway, the guest bedroom, which would become Soren’s nursery was made to look like a log cabin.  So we just sort of went with it.  We are loving the end result and hope you do too. . .

    I can’t let the lack of a period after AMAZING slide–I’m sorry. I don’t want anyone thinking I don’t know how to punctuate properly.

    I would never think such a thing, Siri.

    I am in love with this room. And I can’t believe you made all those tiny antler birds your own self. AND I love the yellow doors with all my heart.

    All things like a modern baby magazine spread.

    Siri, I read the “lack of a period” and “AMAZING” comment first, and then back tracked… it seemed as though you were talking about something other than grammar at first. :)

    Britta, nice job on the nursery! I feel like this must be like wrapping the presents and putting them under the tree… now you’re just waiting for Christmas morning. :)

    You could win an award for this room. It looks perfect for a little boy. I know I don’t really know your living style, but when I see this it definately fits you and your new little baby Soren. Congrats!

    Thanks Casey! I’m glad that you like it! When you come and babysit, you can hang out in there!

    I’m pretty sure I know what Siri meant when she said AMAZING.
