Here's Nursery Corner, which is basically half of our bedroom.  You can see the rocker in the foreground &, of course, the crib, along with the new changing table and shelf we've been working on for the last couple of weeks.

I've set up a separate page with a more detailed look at the dresser and shelf.  I'm pretty proud of them--my first real furniture projects and I think they turned out very well.  You can follow that link & see before-&-after photos & some more close-up snapshots.

I've also set up a separate page with pictures of us setting up the crib & early shots of getting the nursery together.

Here's a shot of our moses basket, which is also in checked primary colors.  We figure she'll be sleeping in this inside the crib at first, and then it'll be used as a stuffed animal storage basket or some such.

We ordered the crib bumper above from Sleeping Partners, along with a crib skirt that's yellow & white plaid seersucker.  Any sheets in primary colors should work wonderfully well.
