Holy Jeebs - week 20 and where have we been?

So Christmas and New Year's came and went - where have we been? Alot of running around from West Virginia and Pittsburgh and a week off to begin my nesting process -- I have taken away no less than 7 LARGE garbage bags of shoes/clothes/other randomness to Goodwill since conception of Baby Love. Anyone who knows me can attest this is ALOT. I also organized my jewelry, shoes, and this past weekend 95% of my clothes, with help from Niter. (THANKS MOM!)

Belts in a box! So cute

Glenn has been busting his buns in the baby's room. We now have all the paint finished, the chair rail up, the changing table outfitted with new (awesome) knobs, and the crib  has arrived! It had a few scratches and was missing one vital screw, but we are expecting replacements soon. We went with the Delta Eclipse 4-in-1 . Cheap, sturdy and attractive, just like me! HA.

The room looks amazing, I love going in and just marveling at our handiwork. Everything we have done has been pretty cost effective and I am really proud of how "us" it is. Eclectic, vintage, modern, all mixed into one. 

Some more photos:

For Christmas I got an Iphone - So instragramming will be on and poppin!

The rug that inspired it all! Can be found at Urban Outfitters -- $76

Finished changing table, swoon!

Pier 1 $4.00 knobs, I love!

Dimly lit, but gorgeous paint and chair rail finished!

We still need to build a cornice for the windows, hang the curtains, create a crib sheet, get a mattress for the crib, get a rocker, and some new lamps/light fixtures to brighten up the joint, but other than that we are almost DONE. 4 more months to go!

16 weeks and a changing table update!

Not only did we begin our Babys R Us and Amazon.com registries this weekend, but we got some baby room action started. Well, Glenn did. We picked out paints at Lowes and got the supplies to do work!


Walls are taped off, and ready for action. Glenn deglossed, sanded and painted the changing table. I am turbo in love with it. 

primed and painted

Valspar color "SWIM"

look at that pretty blue!

The semi finished (Needs to dry) result!

I recently found a blog that had the exact same color scheme (read: eccentric, bright mixed with dark, with emphasis on seafoam blue and gray)


And was stunned to see she painted her table the same! Love it

Her room came out great, I can only hope ours is half as awesome. I now need to find some fun knobs to put on and we should be all set!


We missed 15 week photos (oops) but without further ado, here are some 16 weekers! HOORAY 4 MONTHS!

solid work done!

some bump lovin!
