Nursery Ideas Galore



Nursery Ideas Galore

Time has really flown and I am currently 31 weeks. I am finally starting to get Kai's room together. My husband cousin is staying with us and is the nursery room so that was holding us back from decorating. We asked that he move out of the particular room, we have a guest room he can stay in, by December 1st. However, that day has come and gone and he is still in the room. I have left his whole move in my husbands hands as it is his cousin, but now I will speak to my special house guest and tell him to pack his crap so my son has a place to sleep when he gets here. MY fear is my husband can be a tad bit LAZY and although he feels comfortable putting off decorating the nursery I don't think that will be wise. If his cousin stays in the room we will have less time to complete the nursery and Dave will become overwhelmed and start cutting corners. He will insist not everything needs to be put up and that we don't need this or that all because he is too lazy to build it.
The theme of the nursery is a Formula 1 race car theme, not to be confused with NASCAR. This theme has been exceptionally hard to get decor for, but I feel I have a few key pieces that will bring the room together nicely. I also have several DIY projects I will be starting this weekend. Below are a few of the items I have purchased and some of the ideas I will use to execute in his room.

None of the pictures below belong to me, but I did take inspiration from them in creating Kai's room.

I am also so happy that they all traveled near and far to be in Houston for my baby shower and spend time with me. Even after all these years I have nothing but love for my sorors and cant wait to see what the next 10 years have in store for us.
