Sneak Peek: Guest Room/Office Makeover

I should be decorating this room for Baby Girl but, instead, I've been inspired to decorate our new guest room/office combo. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, the office (what will now be the nursery) and the guest room have been somewhat neglected on the decorating front. This is mostly because I knew that someday the two rooms would be combined, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money collecting extra things that would have to be purged once we ran out of room.

As it turns out, the new combo room worked out great. We already had almost everything we needed to decorate it and the furniture all fit perfectly. 

 

This is a special calendar that my grandparents had the year I was born. My granddaddy listed the names of all his grandchildren at the bottom then circled my birthday and added my name to the end of the list.

This room still has some work to be done. I want to add bamboo shades like this:

And create a crate bookshelf like this:

For this wall at the end of the bed (as you can see, I've already started slowly buying the crates):

I may need to make the bookshelf a little taller than the inspiration picture to accommodate all of Levi's (and my) books:

As for the nursery, I have gotten a few things - most excitingly her crib bumper:

With her crib scheduled to be delivered next week, we've been trying to pick paint colors for the walls and a couple of other pieces. I'm not sure if we (Levi) will get the room painted before the crib actually arrives, but here is the color palette we've agreed upon:

More decorating updates to come soon!
