Thanks for the paint colours - I actually think I have a test pot in that colour - I seem to be a test pot freak as I wanted to paint our sun room in a similar colour.]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2006 20:14:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=53147&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#53147 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=53069&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#53069 Author: Two Blondinis

Thanks ladies
I can't take all of the credit for the room as Mum and my Sis did most of it after loooong consultation on design and colours
We went with the browns & beiges so that once we knew what we had (boy or girl) we could add accessories in the appropriate colour and it wouldn't clash ]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2006 15:11:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=53069&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#53069 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=52954&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#52954 Author: Paws

Wow alright. That is so great (the cot I mean). And the room! I'm just trying to choose colours for Alex's room. We didn't find out what sex he was, and so his room is yellow. So I am going to make our other bedroom his room, a great little boys room!! And then the yellow room will be baby # 2's when they arrive! Well thats the plan. I have been looking at blues and greens. Would never have thought the colours you chose would look so so wonderfull! Well done. (And I love the stencil too!!)]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2006 09:43:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=52936&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#52936 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=52923&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#52923 Author: Roksana

Oh Toni...the nursery looks soooooo gooood. Wow!! I love natural colors.....I wish I went all out for my bubs room...I didnt!! **Sigh**

Leish!!!!!! you made me cry! I'm SOOOOOOOO proud of him! I'm going to get a little brass plate engraved "Handmade by Daddy 2006" to put on it.

He's actually never done anything like this before which is probably why it has taken him 5 months so far (and that's working on it the whole weekend!) to get it just right. We took the design from my mate's cot (so that we got all of the measurements and safety features right), I think she bought her's in Farmers (would have been about 5 years ago though). It's one of those 3-in-1 styles (basinette - cot - sofa).

The wardrobe is just old MDF shelving (was in the house when we bought it) and we just put some MDF doors on the front and got the teddy bear handles from $2 shop

Paint colours: Resene Solitare on the walls (same as the rest of the house - "cream, on cream, on cream - David McNee would have been impressed, NOT!   lol)
and the Bears are test pots from Levene (I'll have to get back to you on those). Stencil was from Spotlight.]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2006 08:41:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=52908&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#52908 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=52900&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#52900 Author: daikini

for your James

I was going to ask the same thing James - that is the exact style cot we want. It's beautiful - really really beautiful. That is such a beautiful thing for a daddy to make. Every night something he made will hold his new baby and keep them safe - just like you did for the first nine months of their life. Thats pretty special...]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2006 07:41:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=52879&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#52879 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2833&PID=52876&title=finally-our-nursery-piccies#52876 Author: lizzle
