Tuck's Swagga Palace

Ladies and Gentleman... Tuck's Swagga Palace:

When I found out I was having a bouncing baby boy I immediately started planning a nursery (or I may have already started one on Pinterest, whatever). I knew what I wanted and I did everything I could to bring that vision to life. 

The ties in this wreath are from the men in Tuck's life

One thing I was set on was this cricket/ant/bug head. It was gifted to us by a lady we go to church with. I looooove it !!!!! 

The other side currently says, "Play with me"

The other thing I HAD to have in the nursery was this gigantic abacus. I REFUSED to pay what cb2 wanted for it, luckily Tuck's Grammy Jo reeeeaaallllyyy loves him and is reeeaalllyyy crafty !!!

 

 

These crib sheets were my first sewing experience EVER!!!

  

The gallery wall is made up of all hand crafted artwork and Pinterest inspired crafts:

 

Aunt Nessa loves me soooo much that she made these pillows !!!!!!!

This needle point artwork hung in Drew's room when he was little!!

 

Plenty to read for a day or two :)

This little guy showed up on our porch the other  day too :)

Nursery Progress Preview...

It's slowly coming together... We're all painted up!! This was a labor of love my Tuck's dad and Big Pa. I. DO. NOT. PAINT. (rooms that is) It's one of the few crafty things I will not lend my hand to. Thank goodness the boys took on the responsibility. It's amazing what paint on a wall can do for a room. Now I want to paint the WHOLE house. Hubbs says NO WAY!!

Tuck's Little Nook

The main colors for the nursery are Navy and Green. I get excited every time someone sends me a picture with a nursery find:

Aunt Nessa's Home Good's find, ottoman for the glider

Fabrics for full bed pillows:

I picked up this bookcase for Tuck's nook at The Painted House, after further review it needs more TLC than I thought.. I'm currently on a mission to paint it navy and leave the inside bright white.. stay tuned for that...

Hubbs (next to a freshly painted wall) with some super cute striped fabric for the curtains:

I have jokingly said that this nursery will be the best looking room in the house, I am no longer joking, as I am convinced. It's sad, but motivating.. 

Loving the fun greens!!

Always, Always, be a Gentleman.

More to come !!

Tape, Paint, Nest, Nest, Nest…

It has begun!! The prep for the big nursery painting!

We've decided on Clark and Kensington's medium slate grey called "High Society", so fitting for my little Prince right? HA!

Everything has been moved out, piled up, repiled up and taped.... Stay tuned...

Everything besides the bed and changing table/dresser have been moved into the guest room for the time being... It's quite the sight! Clothes, diaper bags, toys, beds.. It's all there..

I'm slowing making progress with the nursery decor. I pulled the trigger on Pottery Barn's "Harper" Bedding in Navy. I have the crib skirt and bumper on (back)order:

I have decided to do funky green printed crib sheets to jazz up the room. If you someone that sews crib sheets, holla at this Momma Bear.. I have a super tutorial and could probably pre-cute everything for them, I'm just too scared to sew them myself!!! So far I found these two fabrics:

I know they aren't the same shade, but they also aren't going to be out at the same time. Duuuuuh

I am IN LOVE with this lamp, but can't pull the trigger because I haven't found a night stand/side table yet. The bookcase was a good find from The Painted House here in town. (Dear Girls from the Painted House, I promise I am coming to get my bookcase!!!) It's going to need a little fresh white paint to bring it more into the room..

 

More pics to come after the painting, and projects start !!
