Sounds like an awesome plan, Sarah! I looove the idea of low bookshelves under the windows, so cool! Super nice of your dad to help you with the paint stripper! Reading the previous posters suggestions, I do agree with the whole dresser as changing table idea. Are you going to be looking for another dresser to use as a changing table or an actual changing table? Also a good point about having the room be dark for when "Smith/aka other cute baby name" is sleeping/napping...you will want naps to last as long as possible;) Are you keeping those lovely bamboo shades up there? As much as it pains me to look at them every day, I kept the ugly, nasty plastic roller shades that were in Maura's room when we moved in because man, they make that room dark!!!

Ok, this is going to be a long comment, sorry! Signed up to follow you through the linky followers thingie. Was wondering what everyone was doing about this whole google friends/followers thing. Such a bummer. Got an email about the linky follwer and thought about adding it. WDYT? But if I stay on blogger my thing won't disappear? What about my dashboard, do I have to come up with a new way to get updated posts on the the tons of blogs I follow? Urggghhhhh.

You should totally get around to hanging your gallery wall!!! I set up everything where I wanted it to go on my dining room table, then traced the frames and taped them on to the wall to match what I had on the table. All that prep (plus framing everything) was the hardest part. Banging the nails took like 20 minutes:)

one comment (it all looks LOVELY, by the way. try for a change table w/ lots of storage that CLOSES (so you don't see the inevitable mess that you will be perpetually cleaning up :) a dresser, etc, all work great as change tables--and then you can keep onesies, sleepers, extra diapers, etc etc all right there, so you don't have to pick up the baby for those trips to the closet/other dresser when your baby spits up/pees him/herself, etc etc.

also, i would like to offer you a note of caution re using white curtains--naptime. you will probably want to darken the room, and with white curtains that can be difficult. we have white curtains, and my mom put a darkening panel behind them (that snaps off for laundry, etc), but the panel material is somewhat stiffer, so the curtains don't hang *quite* as nice. but it still works for us.

but in the end, whatever you decide will looks FABULOUS, as usual!!!

I love your ideas! I too plan on bookshelves in a nursery (when the day comes). And I hadn't thought of just having curtain rods go to the wall - great idea! It would probably have been possible in my bedroom, but now the rod is up I probably won't change it ;)

You have such a wonderful vision when it comes to decorating. That nursery for your little Smith is going to be perfect! I can't wait to see it when it's all done!
