Even more exciting is that our crib arrived! The hubs is swamped this week but he will be putting that bad boy together soon so I'll actually have something to put in this room to help with scale. I am struggling with finding a right sized dresser that isn't too big for the room but also not too small to be useful as a changing table. I'm hoping once I have the crib assembled, I'll be able to get a better sense of size as well.
Oh yea, today is the first day of my third trimester. Eek!
What a spectacular baby room, I love the color and the light fixture. Can't wait to watch the progress as you add a crib and other furniture.

It will be utterly gorgeous. Loved your spread in the bhg magazine. You and your home were stunning! Congrats on 3rd trimester. I had my 3rd daughter on March 1, and those 3rd trimester memories are all too recent. You'll have a baby in your arms before you know it!
ReplyDeletethe navy you picked looks great! what color did you end up deciding on?
ReplyDeleteLove the color and the fact that it is so non-typical baby. Absolutely LOOOOOVE the light fixture.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Its Martha Stewart Wrought Iron in a Glidden Duo base (its one of those primer and paints in one so it covers really well)
ReplyDeleteLooking good! That is going to be one stylin' babe. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do next! That light fixture is divine - is it new?
ReplyDeleteLove the color- it looks even more fabulous now that I've seen the whole room. Can't wait for the crib! = ) So excited for you!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color & room! Is that light fixture original to the house? I looked back & can see it was in earlier posts of this room but it looks so pretty in your photos here. Congrats on your third trimester!
ReplyDeleteThat light fixture! I am in love with it! So smart to set up the crib first, then get the dresser after. I planned my entire nursery and then once the furniture arrived, I had to reconfigure the whole room like 3 times. Scale is everything. I can't wait to see the crib :)

Thanks Michelle. No its not new - we picked up on our New England architectural salvage road trip. Read all about it here: http://www.brooklynlimestone.com/2007/04/architectural-salvage-review-new.html
ReplyDeleteThanks! No, not original. We picked it up on our architectural salvage road trip years ago. I totally love it too. http://www.brooklynlimestone.com/2007/04/architectural-salvage-review-new.html
ReplyDeleteIm still not convinced everything will fit in here so Im stressed about it but Im just pushing onward. (And when I say 'everything' i mean a crib, small chair and dresser). Its really a tiny room. Hopefully I wont regret going with the small space.
ReplyDeleteLove the color. It's going to look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI share everyone else's love of the light. It's so hard to find attractive ceiling mount fixtures. That navy paint kicks butt. I can't wait to see it with the moulding!
ReplyDeleteYou're off to a great start! That dark blue is amazing and I can't wait to see how the coral pops off of it. The light fixture (vintage, I'm guessing) is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Can I ask where you found your ceiling lighting fixture? It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove that color! I have always loved navy! Can not wait to see more photos.
ReplyDeleteSO loving those walls!!!
ReplyDeleteI had to have my changing mat on the floor for safety as my kids wriggled so much
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Which room did you end up using, the former box room that you had the long table in? Offhand do you know the dimensions of the room?
ReplyDeleteYes it's the small room. Dimensions are 6.5 feet wide by about 10 feet long.
ReplyDeleteman oh man, that girl is gonna be one lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteyou sure know how to rock a bye baby nursery.

I purchased it at an architectural salvage shop and had it rewired. More info here: http://www.brooklynlimestone.com/2007/04/architectural-salvage-review-new.html
ReplyDeleteThe nursery looks great so far! We never got so fancy with ours, and I do regret not actively decorating it... lots of white :) But I hung a prism in the south facing window, and now my daughter wakes up to rainbows everyday! Love following your projects, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYour baby’s room color is so chic and sophisticated. I’m not surprised if you end up setting a new bar in baby land.
ReplyDeletebeautiful blue and love the crown molding & light fixture!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the color. At first I thought it was black...we just painted my bedroom black. Love what you did with the walls, ceiling and molding! :-) Happy beginning of your 3rd trimester!
ReplyDeletehi i love the blue on the walls!! lucky baby! you say its wrought iron but when i look up wrought iron its loads less blue and more grey? what colour is the blue in the nursary i love it!
