New Refrigerator

We are very slowly upgrading the appliances in our kitchen. The fridge is first! out with the small white, in with the bigger stainless steel!

I love it!

Completed Nursery

We finally got the chandelier up in the nursery, and it's on a dimmer, which makes it nice for late night feedings and diaper changes.

We also got the rocker in her room and it's soooo comfortable. Thanks Grandma Millie!

Cradle...finished product

This is the finished cradle after being stained and sealed.

I can't wait to put the baby in it, I love it!

We have ORGANIZATION!

We were able to get the curtains up, they add a nice finishing touch.

Also got a cute storage box for everything needed for a baby butt...diapers, wipes, and creams :)

Making the most out of a small armoire....she has TONS of clothes already.

The cute boxes are great for storage and organization.

The table complete with a start of a book collection. All that's missing now is a chair to rock baby in.

Nursery Progress!

We finally have some progress on the nursery! I LOVE it. Thanks so much to my wonderful husband, who has spent many hours and lots of frustration getting this ready.

This is a shot of the whole room, complete with my clearance $35 potterybarn rug...yeah, I'm thrifty:)

This is the beginning, sheet rock installed, new lighting, new window, and new french doors in.

Round #2, floors completed. Soooo pretty. Worth tearing up the first round.

Window trimmed out, and backer board up for the wainscoting.

And we have FURNITURE! The beautiful crib (thanks Grandma Millie and Grandpa Tom!) Changing table from Ikea and changing pad...it's soooo soft. Drew mentioned he wished he was a baby so he could lay on it....yeah, kinda weird.

Armoire from Ikea (I painted it white). And a cute little tutu, I can't wait to put her in it (Thanks Nycci!).

You can see the wood flooring that now extends into the master. We get great light from the window, we just need to hang the curtains now...maybe today.

Her name looks so pretty on the wall. We still need to finish the boxes on the wainscoting, but Home Depot was "out of it" for the time being. So, when they get more in, we'll finish that part. We still need door handles for the french doors, and the regular door, curtains up, chair and chandelier in. But, we are getting close! Only 27 days 'til baby's here, we're so excited!

Dining Room

We have finally (for the most part) finished the dining room! Here are some updated shots of it.

This is the dining room BEFORE:

....and from another angle

And the AFTER....I *heart* wainscoting :)

New windows, trim, and a dining room table.

And this is the "after" built-in china cabinet. You can catch a peek of what it used to look like in the above "before" pics.

Windows, Mantels, and Doors, Oh My!

Oh yeah, it's fall...and I'm gettin' out the decorations! This is the beginning of the new mantel that Drew's building. I'll post an after picture when it's finished.

Drew built this as well... my great handyman! Eventually it will have glass doors on the front.

This is my favorite! It's the door to the pantry. We painted it with chalkboard paint, and it works great for a grocery list!

While my parents were here in August, we put in new windows...this is one of them. The original windows were about half this size. We still need to put trim around them, but the view is great.

We're putting wainscoting up in the dining room, it's a process!
