Like I mentioned last week, I just haven't had the energy to get Henry's nursery completed! Maybe it's because he's still sleeping in a bassinet in our bedroom, and we really only go in there to change his diapers. And why does a 5 week old baby need a fancy nursery just to bare his bum? :)
Nevertheless, here are a few little things that we have done. I love this crib bumper, the vintage look of the stars, and the red color with the rich wood of the crib.
My favorite neighbor and friend, Aimee (remember how I showed you her house?), lent me these lamp shades from her daughter, Lulu's, nursery. Lulu is now four years old and isn't missing them! This lamp sits on a dresser that used to be in my husband's room as a child, and the mirror frame is made from reclaimed boards from an antique wagon. It was a fun little shopping purchase from the days before Brent and I were married...you know, when we had time to leisurely wander the antique shops and hold hands!
Below is my next project. The current curtains in the nursery are a little girly-girl for Master Henry, so we will be changing them out just as soon as I can get my act together. I love the look of these, but Henry might not appreciate lilies of the valley as he gets older!
So, next I will be tackling the window treatments, and I will tell you for sure that it will involve a serious mistreatment of some fancy-schmancy curtains. The Nester would be proud. I'll be showing them to you soon!

Love the star crib bumper! It will be fun to see what you come up with for the curtains. I'm not surprised that you have a plan... :)
Hope you're doing well and enjoying life as a family of four.
Oh, to shop and hold hands again. My baby slept in my closet forever. I totally understand the nursery deal. It'll happen when it happens!
I love the bumper pads! The red and stars are so cute.
Your nursery looks great. I love the material you used for the bumper. Very nice!
Jen
Simple, classic, and just BEAUTIFUL. I love how you incorporate family heirlooms. I too have a love of that history. I hate how some people want to pack that stuff away to "save it". I like to make those pieces a part of our everyday living
Looks like little Henry's nursery is really coming together! I love the lamp shade your neighbor/friend let you borrow...so cute and just perfect for his room! Can't wait to see the window treatments!!
Hope you're having a blessed Sunday!
Darling bumper pads. And I'm in love with the lamp shade. It's coming along great!!!

Cute lampshade. You should take your time and enjoy the baby. The nursery can wait but babies sure grow up too fast. Mimi
Those bumper pads are so cute! Everything is, I love the mirror, what a precious little baby, how fun!
