Maxwell Michael Dustin is here!
He made an early appearance (7 days early) on Wednesday September 19th at 7:14 pm. We are completely head-over-heels in love with him, and can't imagine life without him. I promised you pictures of the nursery for weeks during my pregnancy update posts, and the day I finally took pictures of it, I went into labor! So, needless to say, there were some more important things to do than blog about it!
Before starting on the nursery, I must have looked at and pinned hundreds of baby nursery pictures on Pinterest for inspiration. In the end, Max's room turned out to be an eclectic mix of things from many different stores, Etsy, and some handmade projects. I tried to provide links for the bigger pieces in the nursery. We spend LOTS of time snoozing in our glider together, and Max loves to look around at the blue walls in his room. Enjoy the pictures!

| The lamp is from Marshall's and the painting above the dresser was painted by Joe's good friend, Paul. It fits perfectly in the room! |
 |
| I LOVE how the color combination of light blue, lime green, navy, and white turned out! |
 |
| Everyone at our Boston baby shower signed this copy of the shower invitation. I framed it in a shadow box, and now Max can see all of the family and friends who love him from Boston! |
 |
| I love this giraffe print above the changing table. It's from ZeppiPrints on Etsy.
I bought inexpensive frames from Target and spray painted them white.
White frames were impossible to find, so I refinished black frames. |

| I found this bedding on Carousel Designs and fell in love with the fabric. I didn't want a "theme", but liked how modern and fun the dots were on the fabric. However, I couldn't bring myself to pay the ridiculous amount of money they were charging. So, I went to my favorite website, Etsy, for some help. I ended up finding Isla Corrine who custom designs crib bedding for a fraction of the cost, and she was able to order the fabric directly from Carousel. It did take her a LONG time to make and ship the bedding (almost 14 weeks), but I'm so happy with how it turned out. I also ordered extra fabric from Carousel, and my mom made the curtain and a pillow out of the material. It looks great! |

| What a library--Max is going to love to read, just like Mommy! |
 |
| We ended up taking the doors off of the closet to make more room and to make it more easily accessible. Then, the hubs redesigned the closet to give me drawer space, shelves, and an extra rack for clothes. |

| Closet dividers from HisGlory on Etsy again...of course! This made it so easy to organize ALL of those baby clothes. |
I just started writing about Max's birth story, so that will be my next post (with TONS) of cute pictures of this handsome little guy!
Bear with me as we get used to life here at home as our little family of 3. It may take a couple of days to get that post finished!

Congrats!!!!!! The nursery is so cute!
Love your baby boy's nursery! I would love to feature it on my site!
Hi there!
I wonder if you might allow me to feature Della's beautiful nursery photos on my website, http://www.unique-baby-gear-ideas.com/.
A feature would enter your photos for a chance to win one of the gift certificates (1st place $500, 2nd $200 and 3rd $100) in my current nursery picture contest.
Here's an example of the type of article that I would do if you would like to take a look.

Oh my goodness, I LOVE his nursery! Like, seriously in love with it! Jordan's room is actually painted almost that same color, but we went with brown and white stripes. I made his bedding myself with my grandma....we clearly think alike :)
