making progress...

don't you just love a good project

Finally, it's done!! I have been wanting to do this girls room forever & have been saving up tons of stuff to go in it for a while now. So I am so happy it's done! I'm in love with it, it's the little girl room I always wanted. I plan on getting a cute flower rug that I've been eying at Target & I still need to order the bed frame that I want (thanks mom so much for the mattress!!) & we plan on doing a white wood wainscot on the bottom white section of the walls. Now I'm in a real painting mood & plan to paint the main floor walls & upstairs hallways, now I just have to convince Dan to start another project with me! The girls have been loving sharing their room now & have been sleeping pretty well. Now I have an empty nursery & it is kind of depressing! I haven't had an empty crib in years, it is really strange.

my hunky handy man

we kept the room a surprise until today & the girls were SO excited

I LOVE this bedding collection from Target!

there's my little picture board above the dresser

I painted this little table from Ikea

most of the furniture is from Target

this is my favorite thing in the room! I love these little vinyl wall decals, they are awesome!

projects

I finally finished this picture board for Eliška's room, I love how it turned out! It's just a bulletin board with some batting, fabric, ribbon, & buttons. You can slip pictures & stuff into the ribbon (I'm sure you've all seen these before). Then my mother-in-law came over to help me figure out my new sewing machine that Dan gave me for our Anniversary. When she comes back we're going to make some pillows out of the same fabric from the board & some softie dolls. I can't wait! I really am quite a beginner, but so far it's not too hard, I just need to practice. Now I just need to paint Eliška's room & order her bed & mattress. I'm excited to get some new hobbies going, especially since Eliška's going to pre-school next month, I'll have a little more free time!

I really want this craft desk (in white) from Ikea to put my sewing stuff on, it's only $50!
