The nursery!

Ok now we know the sex of our baby, and we can finalize our nursery.  I say finalize because, to be honest, we already painted the room right after we moved in, and we already had a bunch of stuff, so it's already built and in the nursery.  I ordered some wall decor, and I knew the room could be considered neutral, but was probably more towards the baby boy kind of nursery.  If we ended up with a girl, I knew we would need some "girly" touches... somewhere.  Well, now that we actually are having a girl, I'm thinking our room is too boy-ish!!  If I bought everything new, I would have bought white furniture probably, but our furniture we got was free, so I can't complain!

The details: 
Crib: Da Vinci, ebony color   
Retail price: $309.99 (USD)  
My price: $0!!! (Thanks Ashley)  Mattress was free as well, that's another hundred or so dollars saved!

Changing table: Matches the crib, although I can't find the exact picture online, so this is the closest I could find...
Retail price: $139 (USD) 
My price: $0! (Thanks again, Ashley)

Glider and ottoman:  
Retail price: $359 for the glider, $149 for the ottoman  
My price: $75 for the glider, $100 for the ottoman (glider was used, ottoman was new but on sale)
The problem:  We have all this great stuff, but the nursery is tiny!  We can barely fit all that stuff in the room!  So we have to figure out how to best place things, and still have enough storage space for things like clothes, blankets, books, etc...  I already had to take off the doors to the closet in the nursery because they opened out into the room and made it so we REALLY couldn't fit all that stuff.  So now the closet is open, but looks pretty good because it has colorful bins and some shelves and it looks like it was meant to be like that.  Of course I say that now, when it's not overflowing with stuff, and it's easy to keep all neat and tidy.  We'll see, those doors could be going back on before you know it...

I'm going to post some pictures of the nursery soon, I am planning on going to buy some PINK (gasp!) paint tomorrow to have a few pink touches in the room.  NO I will not be painting the room pink.  It's going to remain blue.  But right now everything is blue and green and yellow, which is more baby boy than girl.  So maybe, add a little pink, and we'll be good to go!  I will put up some pictures once I get those finishing touches done!  I've put this up before, but this is the bedding and imagine it in a blue room... oops, not so girly!  But I have a plan, just wait and see!
