Sneak Peek into the the baby's "Crib"

I'm having my 3rd child.

I'm decorated my gender neutral nursery for the 3rd time.

Michael says this will be his last time ever doing this.

Only time will tell...

Last weekend, I set Michael and the girls to work to freshen up the nursery. You would think I could decorate this room once and be done with it, but no.

I'm an interior designer. This is what I do. At least I have an excuse.

With PK, it was Sheep decor a la Pottery Barn. With Birdie, it was brown and red polka-dots from the Gap. This time around? It's all original, all with a little the help of my crazy talented friends. It's one of a kind to say the least.

I'm want to give you a sneak peak into the room, just a look at the good stuff. Remember this thrift store find? It's been turned into a bed skirt and window valences by one of my BFF's Nicole. She has a cute etsy shop called Little Miss Lexie, but seriously if you ever need any custom bedding or kids clothes, she's your girl (especially if you live in Central Indiana).

The art above the crib? Custom made just for this little one from another one of my favorite people (and also interior designer), Melinda. Melinda creates upcycled art (out of discarded vinyl wall covering). She's just getting started with Covered Art and Design, her new little side business.

I love how it's turned out so far. I'm going to wait on the rest so I can accessorize it with either dolls or dump trucks.

I do know I'll be getting another piece of artwork from Mike Altman, I LOVE his stuff (Birdie has a cool "girlie" piece that I moved to her new big girl room).

Oh, and I've ordered a new rocking chair. A hint on the chair? It's from an amazing company located in my hometown of Zeeland, MI. It's retro-fab.

I can't believe I only have 6 more weeks to go. I think I'll be ready soon!

Perfect room! Can't wait for your little one. Only 6 weeks? Where does time go?!

PS - do you have pics of the girls' rooms? They sound adorable - and you have the best design sense!

Love it!! And I am thinking the baby will have little appreciation for the fact that he has a Hermann Miller chair in his room. You should go with Steelcase :)

That artwork above the crib is AMAZING.

In fact, the whole room looks adorable.

I can tell you are an interior designer for sure.

Want to come do my house next? ;)
