Little Brother has a room! Last Friday, once everything was good and dry, we finally moved all the nursery stuff in and set it all up.
And I love it.
Jared did a great job on the walls and floor, and I'm actually pretty happy with everything I painted/sewed/made, too.
Of course, I took a bunch (understatement of the week) of "Before," "During," and "After" photos - for you and also just because I like to look back through them and see how far we've come :)
And while we still need to go pick up a mattress and hang the curtains, I'd say we are basically done! (What a wonderfully, relaxing feeling.)
And, in related news, my mom and sister are both back in Ohio now from Florida. So that, combined with his (basically) finished room = any time you're ready now, Baby!!

"Before" : Orange carpet + White fake "wood" paneling = Wow.
YAY! Paint-able wood floors :)
We officially have a nursery!
One of my first attempts at "real" sewing - the crib skirt.
Turned out just fine to me!
Painted the dresser white and added new handles.
Spray painted an ugly old gold lamp base we already had and covered
an old shade with some extra fabric left over from the crib skirt.

Changing Area - since I never really hung any of Holden's baby clothes, we
decided to use the closet space for something we needed more.
Can't wait to meet our second little sonshine now! Getting more and more excited every day♥ (Now if only these pesky "practice" contractions would actually turn into something for us...)
