The Nursery!

Our Nursery has an Asian Water Garden theme. I have always loved Asian Gardens, and Water gardens, so this is the theme I came up with. I so love this room, it was, however, difficult to put together, but now that it is pretty much done (we add to it all the time, it seems) I wanted to post these updated pictures. There is so much going on in the room. We have fish and lotus in the pictures on the walls. Then we hung those beaded fish from the chandelier, love those! Kimi has a cool hat from China hanging on the wall above her bed, she has her ladybugs, pandas and a piggy, and her Asian doll. Alex has his Mongolian doll and a snow leopard that lives in the Tien Shan mountains in Kazakhstan. We also put a Yurta, a couple traditional Kazakh dolls and a large book on the shelf. They have a library area behind the glider, that now has so many books that they don't all fit on the shelves! Alex loves to sit back there and pull a lot of books off at once! He is getting better about that. They have a toy box that Grandma and Grandpa Cook painted for them and put frog decals on. We even have a clock that i hung in there with some Tulips on it, because Kazakhstan has 2 different types of Tulips that were discovered there. Besides Tulips might grown near a water garden, right? Each of the kids has a rug in front of their bed, Alex uses the pink one for time out and Kimi will have to sit on the frog one for time out, it seems to work quite well so far. Notice Alex is taking a nap in his bed!!!
