Vignettes from Baby's room
My friend Keturah is coming for a visit, and thus provided me the incentive to get the baby's room cleared out and cleaned up. (It doubles as our guest bedroom, courtesy of an air mattress.) I must apologize for the less-than-stellar photos -- the lighting in the baby's room is horrible (one north-facing window on a gloomy day and one tabletop lamp!). But you'll get the idea!
You may remember these 1930s-style paper dolls my mom gave me a while ago. I glued them to gingham scrapbooking paper and put them in some inexpensive wooden frames (painted the same color as the baby's shelf). There are three altogether.
My youngest sister-in-law, Louisa, made this cute quilt for the baby. It's hanging on the railing of the crib she used as an infant!
Douglas bought these handcrafted wooden cars for any future sons over the summer. Until they get old enough to play with them carefully, the cars make a nice decoration!
I have a dresser in the baby's room for storage and changing diapers. The mirror has a photo of my dad as a toddler tucked in its frame. (Will my babies be that adorable??) The Baby Bee products, which are too cute to hide away in a drawer, were gifts from my lovely friends Robin, Breezy, and Emily. And in the mirror, you can (blurrily) see a wooden rocking horse made nearly 30 years ago by my Uncle Larry.
On the other side of the dresser, I have a vintage tin from Louisa, which can hold cotton balls, swabs, etc. The other photo is of my own sweet mother as a baby, looking cute as a button!

Very cute! You have excellent taste in decoration and our baby will love his/her new room. :-)
Perfection! I decorate my nursery with lots of photos of ancestors as babies and it is so meaningful and sweet. All the items that have a history really do make a difference. Lovely.
Baby's room is simply darling! I love the family items and pictures you've used.
It's lovely! Wow, you must be quite close to term now. I hope everything is going well :-)
I love the way you displayed everything! I see you changed it since I visited! It's very cute!:>
Adorable! Everything. I love the paper dolls in the frames. Too cute! And something the baby will definitely enjoy looking at as well.
The quilt is beautiful; your baby will certainly have a beautiful and restful room.
Hello! I just found your blog and I think that it is really sweet! I love the pictures you have on the walls of the room!
And congratulations on your upcoming blessing! :)
To the KING be all the glory!

You have such a good eye for colors, Laura! The quilt looks beautiful - and mirror set-up does as well. and what a lovely way to use the paper dolls! It's so cute (regardless of whether you have a boy or a girl!) You are so patient to wait on the Lord to find out the sex of your baby ~ I'd never be able to do that!
P. S.: You may not remember, but I contacted you several months ago about the 1662 service. My fiancé and I are using it in our wedding ... 11 days from now! Eeek! (I suppose I should be working on table cards, but... I needed a break!)
Thank you all so much! :-)
Luci, I do remember you. I pray that your wedding goes well and that you have a blessed marriage!
