Nursery Update

So here we have some before shots of our nursery. Before this special room became the "nursery", it was...um, not really used. We called it the "office", but really it was a junk room with the doors permanently closed. With a little {a lot} bit of TLC, Tom was able to whip this room in shape. Here are the most current pictures of our little one's nursery. We're pretty much finished but we need our precious baby in the crib! Our nursery is a story book/scandinavian/nordic theme. The inspiration came from a old Hansel and Gretel painting that my mom and I found. The painting is currently in a green frame on the blue shelf above the rocking chair. My mom painted the painting above our changing table. The painting shows two bear cubs playing together in the woods.

My Home

I like my cozy little home. I like it because I live here with my husband. I like it because it's ours . I like it because I can Decorate it. Right now, I am thinking about some projects I want to do on our house this spring/summer. See? I told you this *warm weather day* is inspiring! We have done so much already since we bought our house two years ago.... Unfortunately there is only a before shot of the house. (taken in February 2007) This spring/summer agenda: Paint, Cute Window Boxes and Shutters, & More Gardening and Landscaping.
