Thank you so much to Karen and Kris for taking me by the scanner and leading me through the frightening world that is BabiesRUs. Jim and I wondered around for several hours zapping stuff here and there, but tonight we had purpose and I think we got things accomplished.
They pointed, I zapped. I guess this is what is feels like to be a groom registering for wedding gifts? Whatever, it's done. Between what's at BabiesRUs and what's on this blog and what I'm borrowing from Karen and Kris we should be good to go. Now we just have to order a crib, paint, carpet, organize, and decorate the room . . . can I just go back and register more instead?
The room is children's books, so it's not a traditional theme you can buy at a store. We're doing denim and red - I don't care what the baby is, denim and red works. There are a few things in yellow and a few in sky blue, but they are smaller compared to the denim, red, white, some cream. The curtains are denim with overall clips, the quilt will be custom made (hopefully something like this).
We're using a bookshelf as a changing table and a dresser we already have. We have a rocker and a toy chest. I have an old bookshelf that we want to decoupage with book images. I'm hoping to frame some of my original/vintage kid books and to have a high shelf to display my first edition Little Golden Books. One wall we may do in cork tiles so we can hang the quilt, or reading posters, or other items. We bought this red lantern thing in St. Thomas to hang and I have a few other pictures to hang as well. That's the general plan, we'll see how it all comes together.
The only other thing I think I want is http://www.sleepsheepandfriends.com/turtle.html. It projects stars onto the ceiling, which I think I want in my room!
