It's no secret that the nursery wasn't finished when Simon arrived. That's actually an understatement because in reality, the nursery pretty much wasn't even started.
Over the course of a few months I slowly got to decorating the room, somewhat replicating the simple idea I had in mind. I wanted an owl theme with the incorporation of a few small elements relating to Eric, since Simon is his prized first born son after all.
(No offense to any future sons we may bear!)
Anyway, here are the very long-overdue [to me] photos of Simon's nursery. While it may not look like much, I really love his room with its matching and--at the same time--non-matching qualities, the array of bright colors, and the embracing coziness. I'm happy when I come in this room. And so is Simon. Unless we're trying to put him to bed... Oye.
