More Nursery Updates and....The Name!

This weekend we worked on a project I have been dying to do for a while....a super cute frame wall! I have plans to put a few things in the middle of some of the frames, but I am starting to like them empty! We will have to see. Matt also put together this shelf and found another monkey item to add to the collection :)

We also decided we are not that bothered to share the first name now...especially via blog since I am still sticking at a whopping FOUR followers, two or three of which probably already know or have guessed the name by now anyway! The River Trent runs through Matt's hometown of Nottingham, and he has always loved the name. I fell in love with it when he told me years ago, and we are so excited to finally get to use it! These are just those plain brown papier mache letters from Hobby Lobby that I covered and modge podged with scrapbook paper.

So there you have it...getting closer and closer to being finished! Still have to iron the curtains and do the edging/molding along with a few other touches like a mirror and some other wall art, but all the major stuff is done! Yay! We were going to recover an ottoman for the glider, but on one of our many Target trips we stumbled across this PERFECT orange one that is a storage ottoman, super light and was only $17! Can't beat that!
