Happy Valentine's Day to all my beloved friends!!
Since I am showing you a baby crib, this now becomes a quad post. To see some beautiful bedscapes and to get inspired, visit Karen at http://nittanyinspirations.blogspot.com/
Another week is starting and what better way to welcome it than having 3 (4) fabulous parties!
I am scheduling this post in advance because I know I will be busy by the time weekend comes.
I arrived in FL the other day to assist my daughter in caring for her 2 babies (2nd one is due anytime). Since the elder one is still a toddler, just turned 2 in Aug., he was still sleeping in this crib until a few weeks ago. He was moved into a bigger bed in the used to be guest room. My daughter and SIL only has 3 BRs in their home so they had to move the guest bed into the nursery. The first pic shows how it was when I arrived. I know they have been very busy preparing for the baby and it's been really hectic.
I did not like how the big bed almost just blocked the entry that I could hardly bring my 3 luggage (2 big and 1 hand carry) inside. I always bring an extra luggage for my shopping, lol.
From the moment I came I knew and they knew I would rearrange the furniture, lol.
I posted this blog entry in advance, before the baby was born. I just want to show you this update. The baby has been home since yesterday. It just shows how well he and mom are doing that they were released a day after birth.
Sorry the pictures are a little dark. I used flash only in the bottom left picture of the mosaic. You can see what happens, the baby squints and closes his eyes when I use flash and I can't catch his beautiful eyes.

This was my first attempt. I moved the dressing table closer to the door and moved the bed in an angle in the corner. They have a stereo system in the left side of the crib which my daughter said they will try to sell on Craig's List. I disconnected the 2 speakers and moved them to the corner and covered them with a baby blanket to serve as my desk or to place the laptop when I am done with it. I thought it was better but I wasn't completely satisfied.
I took a nap and when I woke up, I started going to work again. I moved the crib in the center of the wall and moved the bed closer to the window, this time with the head straight to the wall.
I like this arrangement better. It looks more relaxing to me and more room to move around.
What do you think?
They did not have to buy new beddings for the crib because they are having another boy.
Scott is pretty handy. He made the wooden fish on the wall to match the fish on the baby comforter, bumper and crib mobile.
As of now, my precious grandbaby is still in the mom's tummy but my daughter started having contractions as I am typing this tonight (Tuesday) so by the time this blog entry posts on Sunday evening, she probably would have given birth. I can't wait to see the new addition to the family. I will keep you posted .
Thanks for coming and thank you to our 4 lovely hostesses for these fun parties!

Christine. it is very cute. My granddaughter's nursery is very small and cramped and not decorated like I would like at all, but hey it is their house, not mine.
HI Christine! Oh, what a little angel! I'm so excited for you! He's adorable.
Now I think you did an excellent job on rearranging the room. I do like your last attempt best! Enjoy that little darling.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Christine, he is just a little doll! What does Brendan think about him? The bedroom looks so cute. I bet the parents were happy that you rearranged it and made it look so nice. My goodness! She was sooo big, and she's such a tiny little thing. I know she was glad to give birth at last! Have fun holding that little cutie. laurie
A cute nursery for a beautiful baby boy!

Oh, he's just precious! Congratulations!

What a little doll! I'm still waiting for Granddaughter #2. Any day. Love the nursery!
Oh how lovely! Don't you just love baby stuff? Our grandson visited for a few days and it was wonderful
LOVE the fish motif for the crib... cute!

Sweet sweet baby! I always rearrange furniture in my head too, but I don't usually do it! It does look much more open and comfortable. I love that you take an extra suitcase for shopping too!
you are so talented. great job on the arrangements!
Oh how precious! I know that you're over the moon grandma!
I think you finally came up with the perfect solution. I love your resolve! The nursery is SO cute!! Your daughter has picked up your decorating genes. How does your grandson like his big boy bed? I had the hardest time getting Emily in hers after Abby came and she wanted to get in the crib with her...very dangerous!
I looked at your silver post. I love all of it, of course. I know why you love the little salt cellars and spoons, they are sooo cute! And they look beautiful on a formal table. I also love the chafing dish...it looks great with the polish pottery casserole dish in it.
Your mosaics are wonderful, Christine. I haven't tried to make one yet, I usually don't have a lot of pictures for one post! Maybe this summer when we are back on the lake. How do you get the writing on the picture? Is that part of the program you use?
I hope all is well with the baby. Have you had a chance to go shopping yet? And when are you coming home? I have to make the NO plans. Al wants to know the dates so we can book the airfare. April is closer than we think. I have to check the dates that you will be home again.
xoxo

So cute! The room looks warm, fresh, and functional. Nicely done.
Oh Christine, what a precious little one. Makes you just want to snuggle. The room is just gorgeous too. So sweet. Hugs, Marty
Oh the new baby is so adorable and quite a big baby considering your daughter is so tiny. I bet you are just having the best time with all the grands. Safe journey home.
Joyce
The nursery looks great! And what wonderful little fish that your son-in-law made! they are perfect :o)
Your new little grandbaby is so so cute!
Blessings & Aloha!
(thankyou so also for always taking the time to stop by!)
Congrats on your new grandson! I hope you're having a blast in FL! The kids are so cute, especially the baby! The room looks much less crowded the way you have re-arranged it! I bet they're glad you're there for a while.
He is so beautiful Christine!!! Congratulations to you and the lovely family! I think you did good re-arranging the room, looks a lot more roomy. Hugs, Cindy
Oh my gooooodnesssssssss..........That is one adorable baby! Soooo cute! Congrats Grandma.....
Yep, I like the room re-arranged too.
Huggies,
Spencer
Hi C your new grandson is a beauty and he has a darling nursery to go home too. kathysue
Aw...that baby boy is just so perfect. I love his room, but I think I'd rather just look at pictures of him. We really forget how little they are and how fast they grow.
Sue
Congratultions, Christine -- what an adorable grandbaby! And yes, the room looks great the way you arranged it. :) Thanks for sharing at MM. :)
