Nursery News

The nursery is in the making!  Little Girl will be here before we know it and I'm still waiting for the walls to get painted!  Hopefully that will happen this week (fingers crossed, please).  Here's what we had to work with...

I'll miss seeing Grandma's quilt everyday,
but she's making one for Little Girl - stay tuned!



You'll see our first DIY project above - the unfinished dresser - and I don't know if I'd wish this project on anyone.  I guess it was pretty painless, but we probably could have found one finished.  The motivation was that this was made in good old U-S-of-A out of [semi-local] North Carolina pine.  

The result was good, but painting sure is a chore!  And then there was the knob debacle.  The front panels of the drawers are made with two layers of wood so, I couldn't get the oh-so-adorable and oh-so-much-cheaper knobs from Hobby Lobby.  I guess the Martha Stewart ones from Lowe's will be fine...

Her's Bo doing a little preliminary sanding.
And the finished product! 
The crib bedding should be arriving this week (yay!) and my parents are shipping some IKEA shelving, which should arrive next week (double yay!).  So as stated above - keep your fingers crossed that we get some new paint this week and all should start to come together nicely.

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek!  
31 weeks and counting!
