So, we have been working on this kid's room for a while and I am happy to say that we are getting closer . Which is important since my due date is in 28 days! CRAZY!
Here is what we have done since my last post
Josh spent some time putting together furniture. First he put together a dresser we got from Target. It was quite a project. He then put together the crib and cubby system we bought for extra storage. I was not allowed to be in the room while he was working. (for obvious reasons) So, I only have a few pictures of the furniture building.
I really love this crib. It is large and yellow. I think it looks great as a focal point of the room. It is not for everyone but it is for me. I made the bed skirt for it which I saw on an internet tutorial. It is cool because it will adjust to the correct height when we move the mattress down when the kid gets bigger. It was also SUPER easy to make. I would guess that the whole thing start to finish was no more than 20 minutes.
I love a fast craft.
Next Josh and I made cornice boards for over the windows. We did not want to weigh down the small room with big curtains and I really like how these ones look. It took us quite a while but it was quicker than sewing curtains.
Josh spent a lot of time painting furniture we had white to match the new stuff we bought. He painted a bookshelf that Josh's grandpa made years ago and a rocking chair that we got for a steal at "Hidden Treasures". You can really talk those people down. I made a cushion for it that I am not so crazy about. I didn't have to buy anything to make it this size because I had some left over foam from a Craigslist purchase that I made about a year ago. You get what you get.
I also painted a toy box that is in the shape of a giraffe. It was a fun thing to do one weekend. It turned out nice but when we went to apply the clear coat it got a little messy. It still looks okay and will hold toys. That is the point.
Here is what the room currently looks like. We have a ways to go but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Dramatic room reveal coming up next.

It looks great! I can hardly wait until the dramatic room reveal! I also look forward to seeing that little Howard kid. He/she has some great parents.
Your room is coming together perfectly! I hope I'm as ready as you are when I'm 28 days out! THANK YOU for the crib skirt tutorial. I have only found mega-complicated or shoddy endeavors up until now. This is perfect!
I can't wait to see the room reveal. I'm still waiting for the rest of the photos to load, but I can see the giraffe, and it looks amazing!
Okay. Pics loaded. I LOVE the crib and all of the accessories look great with it. I love that the hippo is in the crib....that thing is 20 times the size of a newborn! :)
