Nursery info

So I've been somewhat busy...bought the fabric for the quilt and the bumper. My mom is making these, which will be a great addition and something personal.

I also put together the glider and ottoman this weekend also. Took some time to sit in it (it's very, very comfortable!) as did Tito, and we both agreed it was a good purchase!

Here are some photos:

This is the bumper fabric...the chocolate brown will be the top "stripe" of fabric and the blue will be the bottom 2/3 of the bumper. There will be airplanes that are doing "loop de loops" on the bumper in a light green fabric and a blue with stars fabric.

This is the bumper ribbon which will hold it on the crib

This is the photo from the pattern...this is the bumper, and how it will look (chocolate brown on the top and bluee on the bottom.) Don't pay attention to the flowers...those will be the green ribbon instead.)

This is the idea for the quilt, but will be in the following fabrics:

Chocolate brown will be the outer "stripe" and the backing, khaki will be the inner "stripe" and stars and blue material will be the center of the front of the quilt. Will have planes doing loop de loops (with applique tail marks and loops sewn on) in the green material and light blue material.
These are the plane colors. This green is lighter in person and compliments more than this photo shows (looks more "pea" green on my computer which it's not!)

Here are the photos of the glider and table:
The side table I got for next to the glider...got it for a steal ($10!) at Target this weekend

One of these things did not come from Amazon.com.... :) Monet decided to help with assembling the glider...I didn't realize she'd snuck in there until I went back to get another piece of of the box...

Glider and ottoman set up in the corner with the side table

Finished! Added the soft blanket I found at Marshall's for $8 awhile back...complete with airplane (and same colors as the quilt my mom is making him!)

Now we just need to put together the crib, buy the mattress, bookshelf and dresser/changing table and then add some accessories. I plan on getting some frames for some art I've made (days of the week in Spanish and English, as well as his name banner and also get a few floating shelves for above the dresser/changing table to display things on. It's slowly coming together!
