Goodwill

I was able to go thrifting at Goodwill this past week to see if I could find some shelves for Harrison's room. I seriously scored with some awesome shelves PLUS some extra things that I hadn't expected to find.

I found two of these great baskets that are really BIG and only cost me $4 each!

I also found this frame which is perfect for my jacket project for Harrison's room as well! Plus the shelves of course.

See those toys hanging over there? That's why these baskets are awesome! You'll see.

I painted the shelves white but they looked pretty boring.

So I sanded the edges. Much better!

As for the baskets, they got a fresh coat of spray paint and one is now in this little corner!

I still need to hang the shelves and the frame as well. I'm really excited for how Harrison's room is going to look when I'm done with it. I will post more later, once I finish it up.

Anyways that's all for now.

And look at those smooshed little lips! I love it :)

Baby's Room!

So, this past weekend was my baby shower and I had this bright idea to have the baby's room painted by the time it came around. My initial plan was to paint it the weekend before but then Kendall and I had to change our plans for the wall since we realized that the beadboard was a little too pricey for right now. We got lazy and it never got done...

Then on Thursday morning we decided to paint the room and use a chair rail instead. So we painted like maniacs on Thursday night and finished everything Friday morning. Pretty quick I'd say. Anyways, it was a good thing that we got it done because the crib and dresser that my mom, aunt, and grandma got me came in! Very exciting.

So... here is the unveiling!

The VERY before pictures... this was what the room looked like when we first moved in:

And this is after I turned it into a guest bedroom:

Don't mind Spartacus playing with the blinds. He was so small back then!

And now here is what it is now...

I started off with a picture of the new baby dresser:

And here is my fantastic new Lazy Boy Rocker/Recliner:

Here is this side of the room (totally not done by the way. I need to hang up pictures, shelves, etc.):

Here is a better picture of the paint job:

And here is the new crib (minus mattress and bedding, covered in styrofoam!):

Anyways. That is just a middle shot of what the baby's room looks like right now!

I will post pictures from the shower once I get them from my sister :)
