I've almost finished Baby Sparkles' nursery, and it's about the girliest thing that's ever come out of me. So here were my projects:
- Clean and re-paint the changing table (it was white before, but very old and chipped)
- Cut out shelf liners for the changing table shelves
- Make foamboard letters of Baby Sparkles' potential new name and cover them with wrapping paper leftover from our Enrichment meeting (it's not her name for sure yet, but hey, it's only three letters so it was easy). The idea is that I will tape them on the wall like B's letters.
- Retouch the crib's paint
- Haggle an awesome deal on the crib bedding set off of Ebay
- Put 3M tabs on the wall to hang the flowers because I have an unnatural fear of putting holes in our walls.
- Move the rug from B's room (now C and B's room, so the flowers were a bit much) into the nursery
- Wash the upholstery on the glider. It's a new, brighter color now which I'm loving.
- Outfit all my storage needs with baskets and bins from the Christmas Tree Shops. I'm not sure if this is just a Massachusetts store, but it's awesome. For example, the undercrib storage bin was less than $3.
One of the funniest things about this super-girly room is that P has made it his personal office when he works from home. Maybe he likes the peace, quiet, view from the window, and comfy chair, or maybe he just likes all the flowers. :)
