Default Our nursery

With our first kid on the way in December, my wife and I have been hard at work getting the house ready. We looked at several music-related themes for the nursery (my wife and I are both musicians), but didn't find anything we really liked. When we found out we are having a boy, my wife suggested a car theme.

Here is the resulting nursery.
Sample of the bedding:


The mural my mother-in-law painted:




My grandfather worked for Gulf Oil for over 44 years





The chair rail was a fun project.




The bed converts all the way out to a full size.


Ninja cat.

So like, how long did you have to wait till you found out if you were having a boy or girl?

We found out at 16 weeks, then confirmed at the 20 week ultrasound/anatomy scan.

That reminds me of doing my daughters room, I did chair rail and waynescoat. It came out looking good but man it was a pain. It was worth it though. She is such a blessing cant imagine life without her!

Good job on the room. The Gulf Oil was a good call also. I am a TEXACO/Diamond Shamrock fan myself. The mural really sets it off.

Congrats! Don't forget some racing checkered black/white flags as well! Even though our daughter Shelby has a ladybug theme I had to put two flags in her room with a pink ribbon
