A New Dining Room and Bathroom

Recently, Zack's little brother Dillan who is a builder, came out and helped Zack with a few projects. They did a little work on our dining room and bathroom and I think they turned out all right. Here are some shots.

The "before".


Seat cushions the room was designed around. The wall color was matched perfectly to the leaves.


The "after".



The bathroom.

Za Bebe's Room

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. :)

Room, Apron, and another Ribbon board!!

sorry I couldn't get this pic all the way down with the others!

My mom and I decided to Deep spring clean my room and then of course I just had to decorate.

Then yesterday I thought it would be fun to make an apron so then about an hour later I made an apron in the time of 3 1/2 hours! with NO HELP

For my birthday my mom was going to try and re-cover my (3 time re-re-re- covered tac board) so that it would match my new room colors. So cute...

Here are some pics!
