We had the quilt hand-made by Doris DeGenova, one of Kathlyn’s co-workers. She also made both valences in the nursery. Shopping for the fabric was one of the most difficult things – even harder than paint shopping! We practically visited or called every fabric store in Denver, looking for the right patterns. At one point, we had decided on all three, only to find out that one of them was sold out! Frantic phone calls to every fabric store led us to one conclusion… if we wanted that pattern, it would mean buying an entire bolt. We decided that it wasn’t that important, so we switched.

A comfortable place to relax and feed! The blue star night light is from IKEA, picked up during one of Stephen’s business trips to LA. If there was an IKEA in Denver, there’s no telling how much time we’d spend there.

The quilt hangers are hand painted to match one of the star decorations we picked up. The splash of color really livens up the room.

Yes… the name has been chosen!

Now we wait for the occupant of the nursery to arrive…

It took forever, but as the big day approached, work on the nursery began in earnest. After all the time spent picking paint, shopping for furniture, finding all the right accessories, it began to dawn on both of us that all this is simply for our pleasure. The baby won’t care! Nonetheless, it’s fun… so we push forward.

Kathlyn: “Put the camera down and get back to work!”
