Construction of Ava Elaine's nursery

So I know I haven't posted in a while but we really have a lot going on with Olivia's 2nd birthday, having the nursery painted, crown molding installed in Ava's room, moving the furniture out of Ava's room so we could make it a nursery and much much more! Allen's sister, Jenny, is graciously letting us use her daughter's baby bed. It has always been my dream to have an iron baby bed for my child but knew that I would never be able to afford it so when Jenny offered to let us use Lily Kate's iron baby bed I was out of this world excited! Allen surprised me on Friday and went and got it from her house and had it waiting for me when I got home that afternoon from work. I've posted some pictures below of her baby bed and of the nursery. The twin bed, chair and tables will not be in her room so you'll have to picture the room with just the bed in it. Hopefully, the bedding will be in in two weeks and the chair we ordered should be here in the next couple of weeks too. Ava's diaper changing table/storage compartment for her room is an antique hosier cabinet. This is a picture of a hoosier cabinet. Our hooiser cabinet is painted white and it is being antiqued. The cabinet belonged to my grandparents which they used to hold all of our games and blankets. When they passed away the cabinet was given to me. Mom and I took the cabinet to Minervia's in Homewood to have it refinished with new a new coat of white paint and beautiful glass knobs installed. It should be ready today so I will be post a picture of it as soon as I can!
