Under Construction - continued...
This is just a continuation of my previous post on the house and the current state of affairs...
Here is a video before some of the construction. I am working on uploading a couple more that were filmed just yesterday!
First up, the front door. I was determined to paint it a cheery color and I did.
New couches, not delivered yet but soon!

House stuff
Well, the house is still not ready but things are moving along... While I cannot set up the nursery yet, I thought it would be fun to share some stuff we have for it.
Here is the general plan:
Now here are some of the actual items:
The room will be painted a slate blue with a bit of muted yellow trim. The curtains are yellow and I am making (trying to make) a tie up shade out of this fabric:
Shirley helped me find the fabric yesterday so I am super excited! We have a lot of toys and stuff already but here are a couple that I found that I can't wait to put in the cubby holes:
These are wood with safe, non-toxic paint and I found them on Etsy. The store is Imagination Kids. I am still looking at the toy helicopter. Just can't decide on what color! :)
I will have some pictures of the house and the current state of affairs soon. Painting, walls, and soon carpet, oh my!
