Logan's Nursery

people have been asking me about logan's nursery lately. nope, i didn't have a preconceived vision of how his nursery would turn out. honestly, my mom and i painted his room a year and a half ago, before i was even pregnant. due to our infertility issues, at the time i needed a serious pick me up and decided painting the nursery would be just what i needed. we painted it a nice playful green called "crocodile smile." so fitting i thought. the furniture came next. chris and i decided on a deep brown espresso color for the furniture. then came the bedding. we knew we wanted a fish theme due to chris' life-long obsession with his fish tanks. we found the fish theme at several stores but fell in love with this one with the blue octopus and starfish pillows. along came random accents such as the hot air balloons, the octopus pictures, and the logan letters (after we decided on a name of course). most of the random trinkets we found at home goods, such a fun store for discovering random treasures. his room finished off with the addition of my favorite chair in the house. chris turned it into a rocking chair with a gliding ottoman. before logan arrived i would go in his room to sit and i would fall asleep to the sounds of the fountain in the backyard and the aquarium attached to logan's crib which plays "cannon." logan now enjoys these sounds and falls asleep quickly to them. we too love how logan's nursery turned out. it is finally complete now that logan sleeps in it!
