Since we had an ordering fail, I continued to look for another rug - while I didn't find the perfect grey / green rug choice I did find a new striped rug for our kitchen allowing a switch-a-roo to move the old grey-green-yellow and blue striped rug that previously lived under the kitchen table up to the nursery. While I love this rug, the new yellow accent did not jive with the red roman shades and the pattern on the crib skirt seemed to graphic for me. Also, I had just finished a sheep mobile, of course incorporating the reds and greens...Insert a big *sigh* and one trip to the JoAnns and I was armed with fabric for a new yellow crib skirt, and pillow cover for the glider (it's about time I cover that pillow anyway...). I also bought a few fabric squares and yellow thread to update my mobile to match the new color scheme as well.
As a side note, I now understand why people sell these for $50+ on etsy, while not difficult, it takes forever --- though it would have been easier had I gotten my act together and done it BEFORE baby girl arrived --- oh well.
I still need to decide what to do with the curtains. Most likely I will just take them down and put up the white blinds again (and by put up, I mean have AJ put up... thankfully he has patience for my craziness and continual redo's). All in all I am happy how it turned out, I still have one mobile to make for over the changing table and we still have a wall to decorate with pictures etc once we get a bookshelf. Oh the joys... if she only knew how much though has gone into designing, and redesigning her room maybe she wouldn't scream so much? Though today she has been quite pleasant and is currently sleeping happily in the blanket from Aunt Chris. I think the blanket may have magical qualities as this is the longest she has ever napped (going on 2+ hours) while on her back and not in the rocker.
