Setting up the nursery (Apparently calling it a Monkey's Nest on Facebook was confusing)

Sunday, the shower fun continues... We couldn't bring Sharon's bookcase or the picture to the house on Saturday because of all the rain. On Sunday, it let up enough to get everything over, and to spend a couple of hours putting everything away and getting the room in order. This is basically what it will look like until he arrives and messes up our decorating scheme. We're still waiting for the actual crib and a glider/recliner to arrive as well - they should appear sometime mid-October. At least now we have a backup place for the baby to sleep besides my first idea - put a blanket in a drawer and let him sleep there. Apparently, a bare drawer is better, the biggest concern is the choking hazard of the blankie. Who knew?

An interesting thing about the room color - it really changes from olive/sage to bright green depending on the light and what else is in the room. I think it came together with the blue, but it looks totally different now then it did before. Which is cool, it ties the room together, but definitly highlights the risk of big, bold color - its not what it looks like on the swatch.

Here are the pics:

Looking at the other corner (the dresser is also a changing table and now has the changing pad on it, we got it later that afternoon)
