that thing called nesting

8/19/2014

so most likely you know we are expecting another baby girl in october. therefore i am currently pregnant and meet the qualifications for "nesting". whatever you want to call it, we are in the process of making way! we (i) decided to move emily into a new room and keep our nursery the way it is for our new darling hannah. why? because it's a lot of work to redo something and its a lot of fun to plan a girly room for emily and she just needs to move OK! even now though, when theres no turning back, i think about how emily gets TWO new rooms and hannah gets emily's old one and feel... i dont know.... (insert sad face emoji). BUT its for the best and i still haven't ruled out a redo for the old room too (don't tell ricky). so heres the plan:

^ heres my inspiration board filled with pins i found and the actual design i created for emily's accent wall (top triangle thing). i also bought this fabric that has little gold sparkly triangles on it to make into curtains...needless to say i'm excited. here is the progress so far:

Not ANOTHER gallery wall!

This framed print is my favorite in the room. It by far looks the "coolest" in the bright blue frame. I'm so glad I made some choice investments in fellow student's artwork during college. Every piece of art in our house is done by me or someone I know (sort of as a rule). I can't say I know this girl but I definitely shared a studio with her so I think that still counts.

Yup. I'm beginning to breach the "over-doing" it point with this gallery wall thing. Forgive me, just hanging one or two picture is just, well...boring. I thought spray painting all these mis-matched frames a bright blue was an funky choice but i like it and Ricky doesn't seem to mind. Also check out the new curtains via Target. They help marry the two colors together.

Ricky and I wanted this wall to be all about friends and family. We had so many pictures we loved that i had to create these custom matts to fit them all. Like this shot of my handy work? ... don't look too close!

Waiting for Emily...

I thought waiting until my due date felt long but when that came and went it felt like our daughtr would never arrive. ( i know - a little melodramatic there) So we came up with several projects for me to do. Like...... painting the dinning room and kitchen, finishing a 1000 piece puzzle, and spending entirely too long on handmade birthday cards.

After!!!

What a loooooonnnggg journey! The room was basically a blank slate. I started at 15 weeks pregnant with just the mural. And now, at 38 weeks we are finally finished! Major credit goes to my husband for installing the super nice fan with a dimming light. There was no light at all before. Now the only thing we're waiting on is a grey zig-zap rug and Emily herself! 
Picture
I LOVE this picture because you can see the awesomely-cute hamper my mother-in-law bought us AND all my projects! (mobile, lamp, wall verse, shelves) Ignore the unfinished and cushion-less chair/glider- its just a place holder for where our real chair wil go.... OH! and picture a rug too.
Picture
verse on wall is Zephaniah 3:17
Picture
I think my favorite part is the shelves we put up under the window. Eventually when she can do some damage we'll switch out some of the more breakable things but the idea is that she can reach all of her books!
Picture
ok so probably all these things will go when Emily is actually here... but they are still cute! We loved this stuffed elephant from our friend Lindsay :)
