- Good morning guys.
I hope you're having a great day.
Today we're going upstairs, and I'm gonna give
you a tour of baby boy's nursery.
I am so excited, it is done.
One step closer to Atlas being here.
So here is Atlas' nursery.
It is a super-simple space, which
is exactly what I was after.
And it comes with a handsome cat.
Hi Sparta.
I'm gonna show you all the awesome details
of this room, but first, I just want
to say thank you Cory and my parents
for helping me put this together.
There's a lot of the aspects of this room
that I just wasn't physically able
to do on my own.
So thank you guys so much.
This wall is probably one of the biggest highlights for me.
It's our galaxy wall, just a nice dark blue
with some silver stars.
Cory went through and added all these details,
like little star clusters and galaxies.
He has that special one there.
He was telling me about the other ones.
I guess a firework kind of right there,
and maybe is that a reindeer or a horse?
I don't know, he's got some sneaky stuff in there.
And then this small piece of art,
I love you more than all the stars.
At first, I was gonna get a huge piece
of art, because this wall really is big,
but I decided on something small because I wanted
to show the magnitude of the stars.
And I didn't want to cover up this awesome artwork
we did, so I really like the size of this.
Sometimes smaller is better.
It makes the statement you're looking for, right?
I mean, I love you more than all the stars,
and then just look at all of the stars that are in the sky.
It really shows the magnitude of what that statement means.
And then over here, we have a sitting corner,
this is where we'll sit with Atlas,
where I'll feed him in the middle of the night.
I absolutely love this lamp.
Some of you may recognize it from
when Cory won his furniture contest ages ago,
I don't know how many years that's been.
And then this chair we're repurposing.
This is another chair that actually comes
from my high school years.
This was in my room in high school,
although this chair is in a little better shape
than the chair we have in the portal room.
But, it works really, really well in this room,
and we're able to reuse it, which I love.
And then you have to have a place
to put all of your stuff.
I've got room for water, I have
a notebook here to write down kind
of a diary day-by-day, how Atlas is doing,
the things we've done, how he's eating, right Sparta?
That's something I did with Chell,
and it's really fun to kind of look back
and see, oh today we took a big walk,
and today was the first you slept six hours or whatever.
So I'm gonna do that again with Atlas, for sure.
And how perfect is this notebook for that?
It's just a bunch of space cats.
I love these Decomposition notebooks.
They are always so funny.
I'll put links in the video description
to all the stuff that I'm using in this room
because there's a lot of little details,
that really just make a room have personality
and make it uniquely you, so if you want
to check any of this stuff out, you can.
I like this lamp, I am seriously obsessed.
Not only is it rocket and space themed,
but it is remote controlled.
So you can turn it on and off, you can change
the colors, look how cool that is.
I love this lamp, and I'm really gonna enjoy
at night having a really nice low light
that I can control via remote control.
So, if I'm sitting here feeding Atlas
and I finish up, I put him in bed,
and then I can just grab this remote control
and turn the light off.
This cat is not leaving my side, by the way guys.
Cory thinks I'm gonna go into labor today,
and I think Sparta agrees with him.
I'm not sure I do.
I'm not quite ready yet.
And on the other side of the room,
we have Atlas' crib.
I am super happy with how this cloud artwork came together.
There is a light in these clouds,
which is gonna look amazing with a little
baby sleeping underneath it.
Now this light is super-bright,
it won't be a night light, but it's really nice
if I don't want to turn the overhead lights on in this room,
I can turn the clouds on and it provides plenty of light.
You guys probably saw me making these in another vlog,
but all it is is a paper lantern with some pillow
or stuffed animal stuffing hot-glued to the outside.
Super simple to make, and just super cute in my opinion.
Opposite the crib is Atlas' closet,
and I have to show you guys what Cory bought.
See that huge moon?
Yeah, he got that from one of our neighbors
who was having a garage sale.
So we're gonna put it up kind of behind
the clothes and stuff like that.
And this, you guys may have one of these.
This is a shower caddy.
I am all about reusing whatever I can,
and this shower caddy is perfect
for storing little things like socks
and binky stuff and just those little
things that always seem to get lost in a kid's room.
So we put this in the closet to store
all of those things.
And look at all the itty bitty baby clothes.
I am hoping he fits into some of these.
We may have to do multiple wardrobe changes
that first couple of weeks, but we'll get through them.
Of course, outside the closet,
we have Cory's biggest contribution to the room.
This is Atlas from the game Portal 2.
Now, I will say Portal 2 is not
why we named our son Atlas, but
it was definitely a selling point for Cory
because Atlas is a character in the Portal video game.
One of the things we loved about this room being
a nursery is this space over here.
All these built-in cabinets are perfect
for a changing area, we have all
the diapers and extra wipes up here.
Of course a wipe warmer.
This lamp I'm in love with.
It's a Himalayan salt lamp, but it also looks like Mars.
And then how cute is that?
I love this so much, someone made
this for us, and it is so cute.
And then we have tons of storage underneath,
so we can store books, and extra toys,
and blankets, and all of that stuff.
And underneath all of the stars of the universe,
we have this awesome play place for Atlas.
Of course, I know his toys are gonna end up everywhere,
but this is an awesome play mat.
I am so excited about Atlas playing
in this for so many reasons.
One because it has this awesome tent on top,
so if i want to take it outside while the child's playing,
I can and Atlas won't be too exposed to the sun.
But I just, it's a really cool play mat.
I love the look of this play mat,
especially for this room, but also there's just
so many different parts.
All of these flaps lift up, they say
things, how things feel, making sounds.
And those things back there are interchangeable
for when he gets older.
Plus it comes with this book.
This book's divided by ages, so you
can say oh, from zero to 12 weeks,
this is what baby can do, this is how
to lay out the play mat.
And then oh, now he's five to six months.
Well now this is what he can do,
and these are the things he's gonna be interested in.
Maybe it's just my engineering brain,
but I love that.
And that's pretty much it, guys.
Like I said, I wanted to keep
this room super, super simple.
I didn't want it to be cluttered,
and I think achieved that, and I just,
I love the space theme, I think it's gonna
be perfect for Atlas.
I'd say this room right now is about 93% done.
There's still a couple of really small touches
I want to add, like a baby, but
that will not be happening today,
even though Cory and Sparta seem
to think it will.
Not yet.
- No, no, she's popping today.
- [Kristen] No.
- Yeah.
- I do think this is gonna be a perfect nursery
for Atlas whenever he decides to come,
but I hope you guys enjoyed it.
I hope you like all the small details.
And be sure, if you want to see any
of this stuff, look in the video description
and see if there's a link, because
I will try and link all the stuff
that I can from this room.
I hope you guys have an awesome day.
Thank you for going on this nursery tour with me.
We will see you tomorrow, bye.
