almost done.

Why Hello!

So we are almost done the room. And actually the hard, most time consuming part, is all done, THE PAINTING! Yay!! Now we just have to hang/iron curtains, clean out closest, bring up the bed from the basement, & sand/prime/paint her headboard (I have all we need, just need to get that project going). I've been working on painting a canvas for her wall. Can I just say it's sooo cute! I can't wait to show it off. I'm impressed with myself sometimes. Ohh...and before I forget we have a BEAUTIFUL quilt coming for her bed, made special by Josh's cousin. Thank you Tish!! You are fabulous, and that is just one of MANY reasons. So to end, here's the progress...

But FIRST: the quilt before quilting...ooo...can't wait to see the finished project!!

and to the right. Don't you just love it. My wonderful hubbie did the chair rail, LOVE!!

New Photos!!

I have decided to change the way I do photos on this blog. I've got the photos a little more cleaned up, with my name & a little picnik photoshopping done. That way if you want to share a photo, not that these are ones you'll want to do that with, you'll have my name there for reference. I love picnik! (www.picnick.com)

These are the beautiful paint colors. Hard to really see, but it's a little glimpse into what is about to happen to this very WHITE room.

Yes, I know! Clean the room. Actually most of what you see here is already gone. YES! Only the dressers & a few other small items will be staying.

Of course what you see here is after we paint, getting a little ahead of myself! I know, I can't wait to get this room done!

My lovely husband! Ha, I know it's his best side, jk!! In all honesty I'm very thankful to him, without him we would not be ready to paint. THANK YOU HUN!

Hoping to get the paint brushes/rollers out to paint soon! YAY!

One year ago.

This is where we were last year at this time. Look at how tiny she was.And now this is where we are now. Another year, another baby, a boy Little C came on May 23rd. Crazy!

We're gonna get going on A's room once July hits. I can't wait!

We have all the paint and trim and lots of ideas rolling in my head

I can't wait to have her in her new bed. I found a nice headboard and bed

rails at a yard sale. Only $15 bucks! Looking to repaint the headboard either

green or ivory. Hmm...oh the choices.

We have paint and chair rail!!

We got paint and chair rail for A's new Big Girl Room this morning at Home Depot. Super excited!! One Enchanted Evening (purple) for the top of the chair rail and Spice Delight (Cream white) for the trim and bottom of the chair rail. Hopefully it looks good & I like it. I just love the names of the colors. =)

How could I resist?

Such a gorgeous bride. I had to post these photos.

Happy.

This made me happy. I saw this on another blog and thought I could do that! Josh picked up a glider for me at the dump for "FREE" last fall and I really wanted to give it a fresh look. We don't have the ottoman, so I was thinking I could do what this fabulous girl did and buy a cheap one and dress is up. We'll see. It may be finished by the time I have a 3rd child, lol! I just wanted to post this, because it made me happy. <3

**Check out one of my fav blogs "Better After" to find this Before & After and many more. Love that blog!!

the nursery

BEFORE

AFTER

Here's some photos of A's nursery. The soon to be next baby's suite. I can't wait to change it up a bit for the new baby. Like if it's a boy, add some masculinity to it. But I really enjoyed making it what it is today. Notice the BEFORE. I am so a non-character type decorator. I like simple characters like animals, just not those popular ones with names, like Dora or Pooh.

Enjoy.
