Little Jake’s Bedroom

I had my baby shower last week and it was wonderful.  I received  many things I needed (what a blessing).   I was also given a few surprise gifts from my long time best friend Becky –they were key pieces for Jake’s room,  the wall hangings and the toy bucket.  As you can see, she’s so creative.  Her brother Jon is an artist, and her brother Dan is also.  I’m trying to convince her to open an Etsy shop  — it all comes so easy for her!  Anyway, here are a few pictures of Jake’s room from far away and close.   My sister Becky came over and stayed with me until midnight the night of my shower to help me get organized.  Here is the final product, thanks Becky!

Since we already had children’s furniture in the room, we just needed a crib.  We HAD two cribs of our own but gave those away (ha ha!) and received this perfectly matching crib from a friend.  Can you believe that?  It looks like our first child or something — like we’ve gone all out to have things looking perfect.  We didn’t   And I was going to go with blue (because of the walls), red (because of things we already had that would match) and brown (color of the new carpet).  I like the blue and brown combination, but so does the rest of the world and I didn’t want it to just be blue and brown, but that’s what it looks like.  And that’s ok, because it’s cute.  Looks like baby Jake is all set!  We just need him to be here and I think that’s a comin……
