Nurseries

I think I'm finally done with the babies' nurseries. I know I already posted pics of baby girl's, but I've since done more to the room, so I thought I would attach those as well.

Her closet, full of cuteness

Bumbo. . . Full of receiving blankets to keep her nice and swaddled

Dresser, full of clothes and full of my mess

Changing table, with drawers full of little diapers and shelves full of blankets

The crib

Bookshelf, full of books, toys and soft things

We are nearly done with Nur's room also. There are still a couple finishing touches I would like to put on the room, but I wanted to share pictures of what the room looks like at the moment, because it's nearly finished.


Some clothes in his closet. We'll get him a lot more when we see him and really know what size he's wearing.
Dresser that is already full of pajamas and cute outfits
His crib. The blanket on the left was the first gift he ever received, a soft monkey blanket from his auntie S. The blanket on the right is the prayer blanket his Grandma S made for him.
Bookshelf full of toys and books! And of course T had to put his touches on his son's room, hence the poster of favorite soccer star, Wayne Rooney.
A chair that I can't wait to read books to Nur in. And you can see more of T's influence on the room.
This is a view from the entrance to the room.

These rooms have definitely been keeping T and I busy. We love to walk by them many times a day. And if T can't find me in the home, it's a sure bet that I'm sitting in one of these rooms, going through closets, and just looking at the rooms, imagining what it will be like when they are both filled with our children. It will be a dream come true.

I love the rooms! Especially the blue - but I'm a sucker for blue walls :). I've always said, no matter if we have a boy or girl I want to paint the room blue!

Leah Maya Benjamin said...

they are both just wonderful, I know exactly what you mean when you spend time in them. When we started IVF I went ahead and painted the room since I wouldn't want to paint while pregnant, so anyway obviousley that was not an issue. As we waited and waited for Maya to come home I would just sit in there as well, it was depressing when I would have to get rid of clothes that would no longer fit becasue the adoptin kept dragging on. I also loved to buy little things here and ther for her at least it made it seem real like yes I relaly did have a daughter.

Andrea said...

Yea! You have accomplished so much :) I can't wait to see sweet babies in those rooms....soon :)

I posted a clip on my blog of a family from Memphis trip to Ethiopia to bring home their son Tommy. Take a peek if you get a minute.

Hugs and Much Love as you journey on!

Amy said...

They both look beautiful! You are ready...bring on the babies! :)

The Busters said...

It all looks wonderful, Leah! Our boy rooms are very similar. We did blue walls with white furniture and white trim. I'm happy with it. We still have A LOT to do to make it complete. So exciting!

Leah said...

Emily - I hope you are planning on showing us all nursery pictures when you are done. I really want to see your boy's room. :)

Alissa said...

So cute! I love your color choices - I love that you went with Lime for the girl, and a less traditional blue for Khalil. So bright and cheerful!

Mandy @ The Party of 3 said...

Love them!!!!

AL said...

Great nurseries, Leah! Now...just add babies :-) Any day now, right...?

Wendy said...

You've done a great job on both of the rooms!

Trinity said...

They look stellar, Leah! :) I can see all of your and T's hard work paid off. I cracked up when I saw the Rooney poster, too. I usually forward your posts to N to read, but I think I will hold back on this one because I don't want to give him any inspiration for nursery decor, haha. (Does it weird you out to know that we sometimes refer to you guys like we know you IRL? Hahaha...)

Leah said...

It doesn't weird me out at all. :) I am CONSTANTLY referring to my blog friends as my friends, and T is always wondering who all these friends are of mine that he's never met. Hee hee. :)

I think both rooms look really great. I think it's wise that you didn't get too many clothes for your son because of size issues. I think you will be amazed how fast the babies will out grow their clothes.

Love it all. That big chair in Khalil's room looks extra comfy. It will get a lot of use.

Christy said...

Beautiful! Can not wait for the kids to be in them! I love the colors! Try to enjoy the last week or so of waiting.

sarah @ life {sweet} life said...

Wow, they both look great!! I love the paint colors you chose for their rooms, too. You are ready for your babies, mama. :) They'll be here before you know it!

Deni said...

Oh my they are beautiful!!!!! My eyes just brimmed with tears, knowing all of the love that was put into each of these rooms, so individual and so special! Can't wait to meet your girl next week (or sooner!). Please post pics asap! Sending you so many prayers for a safe, happy, healthy delivery and complete bliss in your home with your baby girl there!!! Oh, I'm sooo freaking excited for y'all!!! I'm just giddy!

Chelle said...

You are so ready for these kids. I remember when I got to the point where I felt like I was ready. I used to spend time just hanging out in the nursery too. They will be put to good use soon!

Deb said...

Both rooms look amazing. Can't wait to see them with your kiddos smiling faces.

BrandiB said...
