The nursery is ready and just waiting for the baby to arrive! I love the way it turned out.

Do What You Love – Free Printable

I am on day 3 of being off work for maternity leave and I am already bored! Of course things will get more interesting once this little guy makes his appearance but until then, I am trying to keep myself busy (and rested)! It is interesting how time to yourself leaves you time to think about things. I recently faced a sort of rejection that I thought was coming but still is never fun to receive. My maternity leave has come with great timing to allow me to accept that and think about where I want to go from here. I do have some big life altering changes headed my way and am so thrilled to experience those with Stephen. I have always loved the quote above and am hoping to keep that in mind over the next 3 months and try to figure out what that means to me. As a side note, I think the colors on the quote are my new favorite color combination!

 

Nursery Preview

The nursery is still in progress. I have so many ideas and plans and then I get new ideas and change the plans. It is getting close to the due date so things are looking to stay closer to what they are now. I still want to wrap a few things up and get everything organized after washing clothes, bedding etc. But wanted to show a little of what I have worked on.

The nursery is pretty neutral with lots of beige, tans, browns but then also touches of blues, greens and a little grey. I have been dying to do large horizontal stripes somewhere and decided to do it here when it was going to be the guest bedroom. I left the original wall color (light tan) and just painted the white stripes, they are 18 inches and did it in the entire room.  [Read more…]

DIY Double Frame Project Tutorial

I am super excited to show this. Remember before when I showed our new living room and how the stuff on the wall didn’t seem to be the right scale or fit?

Living Room Update – Coffee Table Redo

As I mentioned in the seahorse wall hanging post, I have been working to update our living room that was without furniture for a few weeks. We had this coffee table stored under our stairs since we moved in. It was my mom’s and was just stained wood and when Stephen and I moved into our first apartment we painted it black. It was really scratched up and not in a rustic or in style way. I also think it really weighed down the room and made it too dark and didn’t work as well with our new rug – which was the inspiration for the entire room.
So I used the same blue paint from the seahorse project and put on a fresh coat over the table. I sanded it down exposing a lot of the black paint and then ran some black tinted glaze over the table.
