This is the first.
This is the second.
We had a new outlet installed in baby T's room because we can't plug in an AC unit upstairs safely anywhere there isn't a new electrical line. We needed to have a vent put in the bathroom anyway so I figured they could do it all at once. It was way more expensive than I thought and because of the way the beams are lined up in the wall we ended up with the 3 holes you see above. It took them several weeks and multiple phone calls from Matt (nagged by me...) to come fix those huge holes in my newly painted walls afterward :(
It took me FOREVER to decide on a rug. I picked one and it was backordered until sometime in June. I finally picked another one and it arrived with a rip in it. UG. I decided to send it back and luckily they had another one left in the warehouse to ship to me!
My other excuse is that I was waiting for the weekend cousin was headed to Boston (she kindly offered to pick up an IKEA bookshelf there for me - what would I do without her?) and for my mom to arrive and bring some things Cynde had made (roman shades, bedding) as well as to help me decorate in the nursery. SO the room has been looking pretty sad and progress has been majorly stalled until recently!
I'll share some pics...we put together the IKEA bookshelf when John and Cynde were in town. My mom brought up bunch of stuff last week and I had a fantastic shower this weekend where I received so many other things for the nursery! Mom and Meg helped me check lots of things off the list yesterday (the collage is up!) and today (my mom worked hard on the dresser while I was at work). These pics are from last week so they don't show any of the current progress but I'll share them so you can see something until I can get to posting more recent ones...
View from the hall as of Friday.
New rug, unfinished dresser and chair that needs to go downstairs...Our new chair is due to arrive this week! Yipee! Other things don't have a home yet but some have been hung already since this was taken :) I love the rug and am happy I decided to go with it. It's pretty neutral so should match for a few years toc come. The dresser has been partially sanded and my mom painted all the lighter colored parts white today - it looks so cute! I'll share more details on the dresser when it's done.
Crib! Put together and we put the bumper in there but haven't tied it on completely and I'm waiting on sheets/bed skirt.
A mix of new and some old favorites that belonged to me as a baby :)
Gifts for baby T from Lizzie, Aunt Meg and my mom (aka Bubbie)!
IKEA bookshelf...lots of changes happened here this weekend.
Gift from my sweet college friends - we can at least bring the baby home now!
AND baby won't have to go without a diaper :)
OK friends - that's it for now! I'll be back with more once I get to it!
xo!
