We and by we I mean my entire family have been working hard getting the baby's room together. It's coming along so I thought I would post what we have completed so far. 
Way back during July 4th weekend my family came to visit. We put them to work immediately! Dave painted all weekend! We really appreciate all his hard work because he literally painted all weekend..... My brother and Brad cut down a gob of trees in our backyard but that is another post. While all this hard labor was going on my Mom and I shopped for Crib fabric.
Here are a few before pictures.
Aunt Terri came down a few weekends later to help with the curtains. They turned out way better than I had thought. The only place I could find teal curtains was online at Home Depot. With a bit of planning and a lot of effort we transformed these plain panels into designer curtains.
These two critters came from the Lawrenburg Antique market. They look so happy sitting in the window. It's almost like they are waiting for baby Hollander to arrive.
Canvases that I painted to go above the crib. Yep, they are a little crooked we need to buy some of those claw hooks to nail on to the canvas.... soon enough they will be strait and perfect.
My brother and I's old rocking chair.
Aunt Terri also made my crib skirt. We designed it to be adjustable so the skirt will always just kisses the ground as the crib is lowered. We also added a few box pleats that showcases a bright pops of green.

Here are the $20 home depot curtains before. I removed the loops on the top, ordered an extra panel that we cut up and made into box pleats that go on the bottom of the curtains. This took quite a bit of time but the extra effort made my curtains look very special and not at all like a Home Depot purchase. A big thank you to Aunt Terri, I am not sure I would have had the patience to complete this project on my own!!
The pictures do not do my curtains justice. So what do you think so far?

Here are a few before pictures. The long buffet table is going to be our changing table. I found this piece at the Burlington antique show in March. I can imagine this piece in almost every room in my house. It is by far one of my favorite finds. 
Dave and my sister Kristen diligently taped off the stripes while I acted as the foreman. They turned out so much better than I had even pictured in my mind. It really makes the room special and homey.

If you live around the Cincinnati area check them out and like them on Face book. I could spend my entire pay check there.
