26 Weeks

Not very long now, especially if I think about K coming at 38 weeks. That is a mere 12 weeks away!

Here are the updates to the nursery so far:


Curtains are hung (IKEA).


Alphabet letters are hung (had from K's nursery).


Rocking chair is slip-covered (need to adjust and alter); ottoman is temporarily covered with a gifted hand-knit blanket; artwork is hung (Charlie Harper calendar).


Boppy is out (and makes quite the lion mane).


Belly is undoubtedly out and makes for quite the conversation starter, which usually goes something like this: "When are you due?" "March." Conversation over. Why do people ask, really? I am tempted to buy and wear one of these every. single. day....

Way to Blue-updated

The lighting is completely different between the two pictures, but you get the gist. Of all the rooms, of all the colors I've painted over the years, this is by far the one I've been the most pleased with.

Peacock Blues

I want every wall in my home and every item in my closet to be this color. I want to dye my dog this color. That bag? I was going to buy it no matter how ridiculous the price, because I love this color. They are sold out, in THAT COLOR. Shocker.

Alpha-Bits

Made by Girl

I can see this in Kennedy's room. Or mine with some random word thrown in: EAT or DREAM or TINTINNABULATION....

Oh my moomah

Moomah

I dreamt that I brought this wonderful place to Austin. I want to go to there. I also dreamt that I had a maid, who wanted to be called a home care assistant. I'd call someone who mopped my floors a Queen if she so desired....

I want to sit in this room and never leave (in a good way)

What's that design show where they have an "inspiration room"? I would love this "gallery" of art for my living room (the web site even has instructions and a shopping list). The cost would amount to $500 or so, plus shipping. Which I guess for "art" isn't too bad, but I'm going to play it cheap and make a variation of the theme, using thier handy dandy template, with frames and art I have elsewhere, including the garage. It'll be more personal that way, too. Less like it was ripped from the pages from a catalog. As for the cool floor tiles, well I can't swing that....
