AIDEN'S NURSERY






Creating a space for Aiden has truly been a labor of love. I had a vision from the start and a lot of people have been there to help it come together. After many hours of hard work our guest room went through a complete overhaul. We stated the process by tearing out the blue carpet that existed when we bought the house. ( I was just waiting for an excuse to get rid of it) Next step was custom wainscoting on the walls. After many "discussions" with my dad we finally got it up and painted. As with any project we start in this house it always starts out easy in theory but turns into much more. So after the flat ceiling ( that was one of those extras that was not in the original plan) and the new hardwood floors, we were on to the fun stuff. Finally putting up the baby crib, that at this point, had been hanging out in our basement for a couple of months. At last it finally started looking like a nursery instead of a construction zone. All of the rest of it came together from there.


I have to take this time to thank several people that have made this all possible. First and foremost my dad who has spent many hours and countless trips to make this room exactly what I wanted. Thanks dad for all of the hard work and love you put into this space. My mom, that has been there every step of the way with all of the endless discussions about bedding an window treatments to all of her hard work and support. To my loving husband, who has put up with me throughout the entire process. He has figured out by now that once I decide on how a room should look in my head I will stop at nothing until I am standing in that space. He may have his doubts along the way but he never lets me know. In the end he is always so proud of our new room and is the first to show it off. My Uncle Steve that helped my dad turn my 30 yr old changing table into and entire changing station that looks like a brand new piece of furniture. There are many others who have helped in other ways and we love all of you for everything you have done.
