Nursery

This week, the goal is to paint the nursery. I have been SOOOOO excited to paint this room. I have had this idea for YEARS but didn't have a room to paint. I have tried to explain my vision to many people and most have NO idea where I'm going with it. So for now, you will just have to make due with the colors. Next week I will post pictures of the finial design assuming it actually works. There is a good chance it wont and I'll have to scrap it. 

The main color in the room will be this BEAUTIFUL 'Tin' color from the Martha Stewart Living Precious Metals collection.

I have used her paint in the past and I can't say enough good things about it. If you are going to paint and are willing to spend a little extra money, this is the paint to go with. It is such a breeze to work with and even the darkest of colors cover with just one coat! 

There will be one focus wall with multi-colored circles. The circles will have the 6 colors below in them: 

 

If your wondering what I'm smoking, I understand. The pinks are SOOO close its hard to tell them apart but hopefully the different finishes of the paint it will help each color POP! 

The crib bedding fabric has been picked out and match these colors exactly. Wait... here is a picture of the focus fabric which was the muse for the entire room color scheme. 

It is a BIG BOLD print and the goal is to make the focus wall resemble this fabric and give you the same happy feeling. 

I think I bought 8 or so coordinating fabrics that go along with this that will be all over the room. Curtains, wall art, diaper bags, car seat tent, and much much more! As things are made (by my loving mother and sister) I will post pictures.

I think I have sufficiently rambled on more than I needed to about the room at this point. Can't wait to show off the finial project! 

Until Next Time...

Up’s and Down’s of Pregnancy

Up’s:

Seeing your hand for the very first time

The second flutter, realizing what the first really was

Feeling the first kick on your 20 week anniversary

Feeling you kick after I eat something sweet

Picking out a new wardrobe

Picking out the fabric for your room

Finally having a clear picture of the complete nursery

Talking to you in bed while you kick away

Counting down the days until you meet your dad

Down’s:

Watching these pink lines show up all over my body

Not being able to sleep in any position

Watching and waiting until the feet start to grow and swell

Picking out a new wardrobe and packing the old one away

Dealing with the surge of hormones, crying every day about something pointless

Not being able to lift over 20 pounds

Being sore after a light afternoon walk

Something New

By now, most of you have heard our great news! We found out yesterday we are expecting our first child, a little GIRL in August!




We are just elated and cannot wait for August. I don't think I have ever been so excited for summer to come. With that excitement also comes with the realization of how miserable I am going to be this summer. With a trip planned to Mexico in June, I will be one HOTT mama (and not in a good way)!

Well we are getting settled into our house and loving every minute of it. If you want to see more on our house, give us a call and stop by! We love having visitors!

Until Next Time...

Moving...

Present day… I just got done doing a MASSIVE update on our blog. Go back all the way to June for details on our life. Each post is fairly short but you get an idea of what we have been doing.

For those of you who don’t know, we are looking to move. We have picked out a few great houses but want to find that perfect house! We hope to move before the end of the year but we are very sad to leave our neighborhood.

Until Next Time...
