Week at a Glimpse | Favorite Spot

I've selected the babies' nursery as a favorite spot in my home to share. 
Cliff worked tirelessly on the nursery as he completely transformed this room from a spare bedroom that also served as my craft room into a warm and welcoming place for twin infants to come home to.
He painted, put up a wood trim around the window for the first time, added a hefty chair rail and wainscoting as well as trim around the door. 
He also added a wall mounted space heater as this is the coolest room in the house.
This room has been a blessing as we have spent countless hours here with the babies.

Here is a video of the babies sleeping in the nursery when they were 7 weeks old:


This next video shows the babies waking up from a nap together when they were 21 weeks old:

All of the following photos were taken in the nursery:





The nursery has had various furniture move in and out over the last 9 months...
one swing, two swings, bassinets, cradles, a crib, a changing table, a love seat.
We'll be moving a second crib in soon as the babies are too big to share one anymore.
This is the nursery as captured today.
The vintage folk animal art is from cliff's childhood room.
The birth stats subway art was something I made for them.
The photos displayed were taken by Emily Weaver Brown.
The quilt on the back of the love seat was one of two that Virginia made us.
The refinishing on the changing table was a gift from Ellen.
The multi-colored lawn party string lights were chased down in Anchorage by Auntie Jenn.
The babies shown are a gift from God.

The nursery looks SO good! But not as good as those babies! I'll have to show David these videos tomorrow. He will eat them up! Kelly
