Under construction

With only 10-11 weeks to go, our nursery is under construction. It's a small space, and we've taken care picking out furniture to go in it. Dave got most pieces put together with only a small amount of frustration. We had our first experience with IKEA furniture...... a dresser that will double as a changing table. The furniture might be real wood, but it's understandable why it's so cheap, er, economical. It's a pain to put together. I think Dave only cursed the Swedish once.

If you see the finished crib at the bottom, you can also see a glider that's partially in our bedroom. That's the next project: sewing. I am making a bedskirt to go on the crib and I'm reupholstering the ottoman and glider, which we inherited from friends. Hopefully we'll have a finished product on here soon.
