I am so happy with this room - I still love just hanging out up there (though I must admit, the window seat is kindof chilly in the winter!). However, there were a few details that I had planned in my mind which have finally come to fruition. Great things come to those who wait...or something like that.
I commissioned my little sis (who is following in my foot-steps in the direction of nursing, but like me, has had her share of inward turmoil...the battle between scientific practicality and flight of fancy artsy/craftsy) to illustrate some of my husband and my favorite children's literary themes for the walls.
I am thrilled with how they turned out!

Isn't she amazing?!! Thanks Auntie Lills!
The second touch was a more recent addition. I've been wanting to somehow incorporate some of my photography into the nursery. So I ran to Ikea (again) and grabbed some simple white frames and hung a few of my favorite shots from the past year.
I was loathe to pound nails into my father's beautiful cabinetry, so I stopped at Ace looking for some Command hooks. What I got were even better! These strips worked like a charm. They made it a lot easier to hang the pictures exactly where I wanted them, and they will leave no damage. Yay!
