We have shared a lot over here at donovantoreno.com. We showed you how little Van came into this world, what his first bath was like and how he suffered through his first immunizations. We originally intended to share his nursery with you before he was born, but life gets hectic and before you know it, it’s four months later and people are asking what his room looks like.

So without further ado, I give you the staged nursery. I say staged because there have been a few changes since he has moved in.

For instance, this plant is now dying a slow death out on our patio. It was emitting a moldy odor so it had to go. Also, the crib is now nice and boring, free from the evils of blankets and stuffed animals.

The chair was impractical in the nursery. It now resides in our living room. There now sits another chair in its place where all the evil blankets and stuffed animals live.

The dresser is now a fully functioning changing station.

Ebay sponsored our vintage toy replicas. The lunch box is legit, though.

These books have made their way to our bookcase.

Handmade gifts for Donovan hang on the walls.

Every nursery needs a touch of Disney.

Finally, this portrait of the shuttle launch was taken in 1964 by Joe’s stepfather. It was an appropriate addition to our outer space themed room.

Of course there has been the addition of toys and dirty diapers. Other than that, everything remains the same.
