You guys!!  In the past two days we have gotten two very exciting deliveries for the nursery (and they also happen to be the first things to arrive!) – !!!!!!!  Can you tell I’m excited?!?!?

The first thing to arrive was this fabric sample:

I fell in love with it online but I needed to see it in person before making a final decision – and I think the final decision is a giant YES.

I’ve waffled and agonized over color schemes, the vibe I want the nursery to have . . . I could go on and on over all the internal debates I’ve been having but perhaps I’ll save that for another post.  But in a nutshell, I think this fun, whimsical and colorful animal print is going to be an awesome jumping off point for our little girl’s nursery!

And now onto the other exciting delivery – just a few moments ago I heard the FedEx truck pull up and Jason and I instantly had the same thought – the crib!!  The FedEx guy single-handedly trotted this giant box up to our door:

YAY!!!!

Here’s the crib that we got (who knows when we’ll actually get around to assembling the crib, so this stock photo will have to do for now):

Isn’t she a beauty?!?  I love the mix of finishes and the clean, simple lines.  Swoon.  And it was delivered in less than a week – double swoon.

I’m in the beginning stages of actually putting all of my ideas for the nursery into a design board, so I’ll keep you posted on that.  In the meantime, what do you guys think so far?  And did you have a tough time designing your child’s nursery?  So many decisions!!  :)
