My plan was to share lots of nursery photos today – we’ve been working hard in there since Friday night. This morning, my plan got a little derailed. This is what I’ve been dealing with most of the day…
She got sick mid morning and has felt pretty terrible most of the day. We’ve eaten (a few) pigs in a blanket, watched Snow White, snuggled and slept. I found her asleep like this in my bed this morning. How funny is it that her head is in that bowl? In fact, she’s sleeping in a similarly weird position right now.
When I wasn’t dealing with a sick little princess, I was preparing for the arrival of another little princess. I didn’t get many projects finished today, but I did get plenty of things started! Hopefully by mid week, I’ll have a few more things to share. For now, I’ll share what I’ve been working on today.
I’ve been painting lots of frames. I started on Saturday with spray paint, but got rained out. I tried again this morning, only to be disappointed with the color and the finish. This afternoon I decided to do things the hard way – paint and a brush – and I am MUCH happier with the results.
I’ve been adding a few accessories to the only part of the room that is “finished.” Have you tried this line of baby lotions and creams? My stars it’s my favorite. Sweetleaf Baby smells so yummy! I use the body wash on Ella and can’t wait to slather Sophie in that lotion!
I’ve been admiring my drawer pulls and my pretty new lamp, while dreaming about finding it’s twin for another spot in the room.
I’ve been cleaning and organizing Sophie’s closet. The curtain rod still needs to be hung, as does the pink canvas organizer for the back of the door. Today the closet is filled with decorative accessories for the room, but since her clothes are in the dryer those are soon to be replaced!
I’ve also been admiring this combination. I know your probably wondering what happened to my “modern” nursery, but when I started shopping for fabric yesterday, things took a turn towards traditional. I got a pretty damask print and a stripe instead of the modern patterns I thought I’d be leaning towards. The ball fringe and rick rack are for pillow and curtain trim.
The things I don’t have pictures of? A different rug, cleaned and in place (the others were moved to Ella’s room and look better there). Painted ceiling fan blades, which make the fan much less noticeable. Painted trim, doors and some wall touch-ups. All in all, I’d say we’ve made major progress. I’ll have more photographs to share later in the week and hopefully they’ll include things like artwork on the walls, clothes in the closet and crown molding on the ceiling!
