First time posting here in Baby Bumps, but I’ve been a long time commenter/fan of this sub. Currently 38+6 and a FTM. I LOVE seeing everyone’s nurseries and am so excited to share ours! Had so much fun putting the nursery together.
Here are some of the things we got that I love in our nursery:
I know we will probably have to adjust things in the nursery once the baby comes and he gets older (I’ve seen plenty of moms comment on here how they laugh at some of the nurseries because they’ll eventually get wrecked or puked on or whatever) but for right now, I absolutely love it. I wanted to have a lush, forest feel...with dragons!
Good luck to all the moms out there. I’m so excited to become a mom myself. :)
Honestly, just buy the real thing. I love ikea and I love idea hacks. But if you want something super solid that won't tip and can handle two large kids (and sometimes 3), the original learning tower can't be beat.

amazon! it's amazing :D
edit: here you go!
Some of them just take a little longer to figure it out, Mama. With my middle two, the older one wouldn't until the younger one did, and the younger one was terrified because of when the bathroom ceiling collapsed right after she came out of the bathroom when we started training. The thing that made it harder was how much i hated diapers. The thing that made it easier was being able to explain all the things they would be able to do if they used the bathroom, like going to big school, and playing at other people's houses, and getting a little pool for the yard, because when she was 4, she wanted those things, and at some point that wanting outweighed her fear.
I don't know what tools or methods you're using, but if you haven't tried them, this or something like it worked well, as did this which also has variations. I ended up getting the seat with ladder attached again for my youngest, as well.
You'll both be ok, he just has to talk himself into it. Can you get him something small that he's really interested in, and put it where he can see it but not reach it, and tell him that every time he goes on the toilet, he gets to play with it for a little while? Set a timer. We tried so many things. There will be something that works.
Hugs to you and your little guy :) Hang in there
I got a bunch of hand-me-downs from family basically for the first 2yrs
I thought about doing storage containers but I was thinking it might be kind of annoying to have to organize the clothes on the hanger every 2-3mos
So I bought a bunch of baby hangers on Amazon (like 120) and hung them all up and bought a couple of these hanging size separators so I can have everything grouped in the closet ready to grab
Then once he grows out of a size I can put those in bags in a storage container afterwards for baby #2
Consider a little plastic stepstool like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/PRIMO-Freedom-Step-Stool-White/dp/B000P26I0E/
It is small and light enough to carry around and stow, and will dry quickly after a good shake. You'll be seated low to the ground, but it's better than nothing, and certainly better than the floor!
Also reach out to your adviser to get you in touch with the department in your school that handles ADA stuff. There may be specialized facilities, or ways that they can relax certain rules, to make it so that you don't have to drop school just yet. Heck, what would they do if a kid was confined to a wheelchair? They would need to have options. There's no reason that you can't be given the same options if your condition requires them.
Have you considered making something like this (but obviously in a color to match the coat as closely as possible) and then sewing it to the trench coat? I think it would work out pretty nicely. Especially if you get enough material to recreate the entire front panel of the coat - so the fabric not exactly matching is less noticeable.
Ok - so you're wanting to stick with the pieces you have. You said in another comment you're thrifty (me too!) and not wanting to spend much, so here's what I'd do:
Right now the dark pieces seem very harsh in the room. I'd embrace the theme of the natural wood accents, and tie in your black pieces by adding in some other natural textures! I was bored/procrastinating and did up a (very choppy) photoshop of what I would do with the space. Here you go! I edited out the clutter just for the sake of the design.
I'd love to see some sort of curtain (beaded?) in front of the vanity to make it feel like a more cohesive room. I think something like this would look really cool, although it's a bit pricy. This is more affordable. You could DIY the circles from the UO one if you like them, I'm sure!
I agree with the other poster about mounting the guitars to the wall and storing the stand.
I would make some dowel frames for your map, and hang it above the mirror. I'd also make a few smaller black and white cardstock prints at Staples (cost you about fifty cents or less per page), do the same with the frames, and stack them vertically along the space of the wall beside your closet door.
Are you crafty? You might be able to make a diffuser shade for your 'boob' light like these folks did.
I'd recommend going to Home Depot / Walmart etc and getting a couple more plants, and putting them in terra cotta pots (they're pretty inexpensive).
I would also get a few baskets and put them on the middle shelf of your bookshelf, to break up the lines and make it less overwhelming to look at.
I would get something for your makeup table to contain your makeup so it looks less cluttered.
​
Heres some pieces similar to what I photoshopped in that you could pick up on on a budget, but a lot of them could be thrifted if you like hunting!
Beaded Curtain
Lamp Shade
Guitar wall mounts
Linen textured curtains
Basket for makeup brushes
Baskets for shelf organization
​
I can't see what's going on in your bed area, but if you like my suggestions, I'd be happy to make more recommendations if you post a picture!

Various babyproofing things. I had these cool door stoppers that hook into the hinge, but as it turns out my kid loves trying to jam the door shut even more and actually stripped the holes with the screws. I had to put super glue in the holes while shoving the doors back into place while it dried. I use these now and he hasn't ripped any doors off yet.

Little knick knack type toys that are really nostalgic for me. I didn't buy many of these things, but I could NOT resist the Mister Rogers trolley. So redeemed, my kid is obsessed with it now.

Books! I had done so much of the essentials (sounds like you have) that I ended up putting a fair amount of books on my registry. People were more than happy to buy those.
I have a 2 bedroom place, but baby needs to share space with my home-based business! I do have a crib, but for the first few months baby will be in a co-sleeper. For diaper changing I'm putting a changing pad on top of a dresser, it didn't make sense to buy a changing table. I registered for closet organizers, like this one to save space.
I made my own version of this, but it really helped display and declutter my collection. https://www.amazon.com/Dreambaby-L692-Toy-Chain/dp/B002RXM9M0/ref=pd_bxgy_img_3/146-0632413-9646902?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B002RXM9M0&pd_rd_r=23731295-4cb2-4c8e-996b-096ff2211b59&pd_rd_w=16eJI&pd_rd_wg=h1fhC&pf_rd_p=a2006322-0bc0-4db9-a08e-d168c18ce6f0&pf_rd_r=XZTVB75AB1E5J509V6F5&psc=1&refRID=XZTVB75AB1E5J509V6F5
Everything at my local Goodwill is priced the same among like items (shirts are $2.99, pants and jeans $3.49, kids clothes under 4T 1.99 etc) except non clothing items, shoes ,and purses. I've gotten Ann Taylor Loft, Gap ,Chaps , Ralph Lauren, etc. for extreme discounts. I shop for my entire family there, and put us in only name brands for penny on the dollar. Every week they have a tag color that is half off and I have the 10% off discount card that I paid $3 for at the beginning of the year. My best finds lately have been an outfit that originally cost $42 from the Gap for my baby, that i got for $2 (originally $4 but the color tag was half off) and a learning tower for $5. I love Goodwill and get sticker shock from going shopping even at places like Walmart. That being said I live next to one of the richest zip codes in the state, so a lot of nice stuff gets donated, and I don't work so it is worth it for me to search out the deals.

Asking mainly for Kaleope and Kevin. Not sure if I can be gifted for Joely so asking for a second opinion. There was someone trying to buy them more, but it didn't go through for some reason. Technical error I guess. So Joely does not have the thomas container (it was marked purchased) and an item it said Kaleope had, a puzzle, she did also not receive. I deleted received items because I thought I was supposed to, but you can check the comments posted and I can send any order #s I have so you can check those if necessary. Just making it clear so you know I didnt lie. I didn't see anything in the rules about not deleting purchased items and I didnt know at first that they came off the list or showed on their own that they were bought. I am mainly worried about Kaleope since she is the oldest and more aware. I would also like to get something for Kevin if possible. Joely has only a couple small wishlist items but he also did get gifted that communication device so Im not sure if I should be gifted any regular toys or anything for him or not. Is the original price important? It was gifted used, but it is very expensive to purchase. If not he only has 3 items even with the device. I dont want anything for myself or Sylar obviously because we have too much as is. I didnt even expect to win the other things. I entered for fun and won. Thank you for this. xo Happy Holidays.
