Duke's Room (so far)

We are starting to get Duke's room put together and the more we put in there the more it is looking like a babies room. I still don't have any cute animal theme on the walls or anywhere but I like the blues and browns. He will have toys and books in there to look at and we will eventually get some wall hangings. I think I am going to do family photos in cute frames from Restoration Hardware Kids and Baby. Their boy stuff goes with my "theme" of blues and browns if you can call that a theme.

The only artwork he has to be framed and hung on his walls so far is by his cousin, Avah. She made this masterpiece just for her "Christmas Cousin".


His already large shoe collection. Yes, those are cowboy boots you see in there from his Mom-Mom. He has a whole outfit to go with, which will be photographed and posted once he fits into it.


His awesome dresser/changing table from his Great Grandma Harper, Grandma Beth and Grandma Ann. It is already getting piled with wonderful gifts.


He got lots of great clothes from Aunt Jen from when his cousin, Loucky was a baby. I have them spread out on the floor in front of the dresser.


His toy basket that is already getting filled with books and goodies, mainly from his crazy Aunt B (Aunt Peach). She always has something for him and blames it on Avah having to pick up a toy or book while they're out.


These baskets will go on his bookshelf that is coming soon. We got all the baskets from Restoration Hardware.


Duke's crib, where I hope he sleeps peacefully most of the night for us. His Mom-Mom Horgan got him his new crib. His first "silky" is hanging off the side ready to be cuddled from his cousin, Avah. His bed linens are hanging there too just waiting to be washed and put on a mattress.


So that's what we have so far. Hopefully we have more share soon. Our house is starting to fill up with new baby gear and toys and some great hand-me-down toys too. Thank goodness for sister-in-laws who want to get rid of their baby stuff!!! Our friends and family have been extremely generous and we love them.
