Before Drew was born we did not know his sex. I wanted something calming yet nothing too boring. I went for texture rather than color and I have to say I really enjoy how it turned out. Here is an excerpt from my original post titled Half-Pint's digs.
This room is tiny! By no means could it fit a king bed and have any room to walk, but it does the job for the bambino and I like how it turned out. I was going for more texture than color in the room. We first chose a latte color for the walls. We were painting the rest of the house and our bedroom is the same color so I thought what the heck. We then were going to go with white furniture, but I fell in love with a black crib. From then I kind of start throwing things together and somehow they all seem to work. The biggest thing for me was that I hated the closet doors. They were oak and I couldn't imagine sitting in the glider looking at them all the time and loathing them, so we took them out and I purchased some curtains that I am mildly in love with. So here you go! Pics, of half-pints digs.

The verse is:
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). This pic taken by my talented friend Amy Doerring.
Our glider
Pedestal table I painted, it used to be red. Also, the Willow Tree Angel we were given after my first miscarriage. I've had it by my bedside this whole time and I thought it was only fitting to have our first angel watching over Drew, because without our first baby becoming an angel, we would never have Drew.
The dresser/changing table my stepmom refinished for us, with storage bins below and all of half-pint's toys in a bin to the left.

Cheap nursery art. I went to Hobby Lobby and found some scrapbook paper and frames to add some texture with a hint of color.
More nursery art. Our maternity pics, and some scrapbook paper for more texture.
Curtains for closet doors. They are from Bed, Bath and Beyond. Please excuse the sun glare, and the oak trim that I can not stand.
Drew's closet does look a bit different now. Boys clothes have taken over, and green and yellow have been phased out.
I Hope you've enjoyed your tour.
