Nursery almost complete

Clint and I have been working hard to get this room put together. We have spend several weekends doing many tasks. The first weekend I taped off the edges and laid drop cloths. Then Clint took over and painted most of the walls. We are doing crown molding and chair rail so we have some areas that aren't painted. I also started sewing the curtains this weekend.

The next weekend Clint did some more painting and touch ups. I made some crafts to go in Chloe's room. I also repainted (with a mask of course) some of the treasures I found at the antique stores. My friend Kim and I went on a mission earlier in July to find shabby chic decor to fill up the room.
This last weekend we bought the crown molding and chair rail and Clint painted it so it will be ready to hang this weekend when Kim and her husband come down to help. (We have no clue how to hang that stuff so we have called in the experts). This weekend I also made two more homemade crafts. A bulletin board covered in the same fabric as the curtains and a ribbon mobile that will hang from the ceiling. It kind looks like a ribbon chandelier. Chloe's name also came in the mail. This will go directly above her crib.

We are excited and proud of the room we have put together. Final pics will be sent at a later date once the room is complete.

Construction takes place in the nursery

Clint put together the crib on Sunday. He did a great job! He actually read the directions as you can see which is suprising for him. He usually likes to figure things out on his own. I know he wanted it to be done just right for baby Chloe.

Weekend at Granda's

So we made a trip to Mississippi over the weekend of July fourth to see Clint's family. We had a great time relaxing and shopping for a flat screen TV for grandpa. Oh and the food was amazing. I definately ate too much but you can't pass up home grown food. Chloe also had her first round of gifts from Clint's side of the family. She got her first baby doll from her great Aunt Jill. Great Maw Maw Sue got her booties that look like little mary jane's and Granda and Grandpa bought two cute outfits and will buy her crib. It was so nice to have the family be excited about her upcoming arrival and want to bless her with such nice things. Thanks everyone!! Chloe is going to be well rested and the best dressed girl, next to her cousin Lyla of course.

Nursery is coming together

So the paint colors have been chosen and the bedding has been bought. I have been slowly planning the nursery decor over the past few weeks. I also decided to sew curtains and bought the fabric weekend before last. We are going to buy the crib tommorow, which will be a gift from Clint's parents. Today I went antique shopping with my friend Kimberly. I was able to get some great finds. A shelf to go over the changing table, a shabby chic picture frame, a decorative box to hold things, and a antique lamp with a tin shade. Very cute stuff. Everything is coming together. Tomorrow Clint plans to paint the nursery while I sew curtains. Chloe will have the best room ever!!!! Above is a pic of some things I plan to put in the room. I will post pics of what I bought today at a later time.
