We’ve made some more, albeit slow, progress in the nursery.
The shelf went up:
As did all of the Roman Shades:
(Yes, that is a very bright shade of lime green!)
We didn’t get much that we registered from at our amazing Shower this past weekend, but one of the things we did get was cash with the […]

But first an update on Knut vs. Oliver 2008.. Thank you SO much everyone for voting. Opinions seem to be pretty much evenly divided, so I’ll have to do what I always do when I can’t make up my mind… buy both!
Now onto the mobiles..
One of the last things I want to tackle before calling […]

Poor Jeff got home from work at 8:30 last night and had little to no interest in finishing the mural… He didn’t seem to think “because I said we would on the blog” was any great incentive! He eventually relented and worked for the next three hours straight doing mostly cleanup work and painting the […]

Inspired by your positive comments, I came home after work yesterday and my feet were already aching, but I wanted to get the leaves on the mural so that Jeff could paint the monkey and we could finish up tonight!Here’s the mural with the leaves on, only the monkey left to do now..

I just over analyze everything to the point of stagnation, which is the subject of endless frustration for Jeff who is the complete […]

Note the new lamp too!
I like the trunk of #2 and the leaves of #1. Figures!
Thanks to you all, I’ve found several companies that do custom decals (I want more control over the color than the premade ones provide)
Reuseable Vinyl Decals from Wallhogs.com
Regular Vinyl Wall Decals from Customvinyl.com (they even have some examples […]

After yesterday’s incoherent blather I decided that rather than post the millions of combinations of bedside tables and curtains that I mocked up in photoshop I will post just the one I think I have decided on and all of it’s elements:
First, I believe that what I reacted to so strongly about the ikea Hemnes […]

I appologize for the project hopping, I realize that I have way too many projects going on at the moment for anyone (including me) to keep straight.
Don’t hate me because I ramble.. I think its “pregnancy brain” or that’s what I’m going to attribute it to anyway.
I’ll start with:
The Nursery and Ikea Woe #1
So after […]
