After finishing the touch up on the walls, we hung the art and some floating shelves. A friend bought us a lovely antique dresser when we were trying to pass our licensing, as this was an item we needed.
I've filled the room with several handmade items like embroidered blankets and toys and I can't wait to share those with you. I'll have to clean out the cat hair if I want to take photos... it seems Milo believes the crib to be a wonderful spot to snooze.
That reminds me, what does one do if the cat won't stay out of the crib? My little sister was viciously pounced upon by our cat once, and I'm not so keen on a repeat. Milo darts when we catch him, but is there any way to prevent this? Once we have a child, we won't be able to keep the door closed all the time.
The swing came from a former student (strange that our students are having babies now), and the rocker is from Jon's mom. The crib came from another friend who adopted and received it as a gift. And there are just too many handmade and vintage treasures to spill the beans about just yet!
Stay tuned, I will tell all. And one day, there will be one very special addition to the room that is unlike any other...

SO cute Lindsey! We have cats too and we just make sure they are out of the nursery when the baby is sleeping and close the door. If your cat is like ours they will probably start avoiding the baby all together. Babies pull out whiskers as ours have learned. Although we have one very child friendly cat who would actually groom our newborns if given the chance. Just licked the little bit of hair on their heads. Kinda gross but also kinda adorable. Also, our babies slept in their baby swings quite a lot too which keeps them clear of pets.
Our cat avoided the little ones when they came home from the hospital until they were 5mo or so old and then didn't do anything to them, but let them roll on him. BUT he never tried to get in the crib. I would spray him with water if he did try it.
lindsey!! it's so flippin' cute. and you can tell how much work you put into those stripes, and they just totally work. superb!
the whole room feels so happy and welcoming. you're inspiring me to keep going on mine!
Beautiful nursery, everything looks wonderful!
I would also take up the water spray bottle if you catch the cat in the act, that will at least let the cat know that there are consequences.
Seriously, that striped wall looks amazing! Love your nursery so much! I so remember Jasmine telling me she meant someone at the airport...so cool it was you!
Looks really wonderful and unique, Lindsey....like you! I hope you and Jon get your new little addition soon. In God's perfect timing...
