I gotta be honest – I really didn’t have any intentions on doing a “new” nursery for the third child I’m having this summer. We just moved less than a year ago, and when I decorated the room that is to be the nursery, I did a cute little truck theme for Will, who was 2 at the time. It made perfect sense to me that we just swap out the toddler bed for a crib and call it a day.
I looked at him in dismay. I think my intelligent response was something along the lines of, “Huh?” He then proceeded to declare (not unlike a child himself, might I add), “I want a bicycle themed nursery. Right here, right now. Spend whatever you want.” I may have used a little bit of creative license with the right here, right now bit.
Never to turn down an opportunity to go shopping, especially when it comes to home decor, I immediately set to refreshing my nursery. I wasn’t quite sure my husband was (a) serious about actually redoing the nursery or (b) serious about spending whatever I want, but I wasn’t going to ask questions.
Hubs and the kids were planning a (bicycle) camping trip for the following week, and I decided I was going to surprise them with a brand new nursery when they got back.
Admittedly, I was nervous about pulling this whole nursery reveal off for my husband in time (I only had three days to go from that mess-of-a-truck-themed-room to Bicycle Nirvana), but I LOVE how it turned out. Here are the “after” photos. What do you think?
Phew, that was a lot of work. And my back definitely suffered a wee bit from all of the rearranging! But, there’s a silver lining! Those Diaper Genie refills I bought at Target? Well, I plan to photograph my receipt and submit it to: http://bit.ly/1leqgU7 for a $25 Spa Finder Wellness gift card. My nursery is refreshed, and I will be too: win, win. Oh, yeah – and y’all can participate in the promotion too, while supplies last!

Oh, he was. He definitely teared up! 🙂
So cute! I wouldn’t have thought to bring out the bicycle alone. Enjoy the “new” room!
