We have finally finished baby John's nursery! YAY! Everything is cleaned, organized and ready for him to come! However we had to changed one plan with the design. Originally we were planning to have train tracks run across the ceiling, but decided that he wouldn't be able to play with it for a while so we abandoned that idea and have decided to wait until he's about 2 1/2 years old before we do that; it's also not a cheap thing to do. So instead we decided that we would stagger two wall shelves over the rocking chair and the changing table. The wall shelves were going to hold the Southern Company/Georgia Power trucks that Brian's grandfather gave us and the Georgia Power train set we get every year from GA Power. So we were installing the wall shelves and had the first one up, which according to the stud finder, was in studs. Once we placed the train set on the shelf, it fell off the wall. So we decided that that wasn't a good idea and abandoned that tactic quickly. So instead I am placing a cross-stitch over the changing table that my step-mom made for John; which I think overall is a better choice. I won't have to worry about anything being sturdy or worry about things falling off the wall. We decided to place the train set on top of the dresser and place the trucks on each of the book shelves. All in all everything turned out great and I am happy with the way the nursery looks. Below are pictures of John's COMPLETED nursery...

I'm so excited for him to arrive and to actually be able to use everything in the room and to play with my son!
