New Master Bedroom

I called this "the project before the project"....in order to have a space for our baby boy, a move was in order -- Kevin and I moved downstairs to the third bedroom.

Most of the time we've lived here, the bedroom has looked like this:




Well, not empty....pretty full of baby stuff, etsy shop things, stuff for the swimming pool....It was a catch-all place.  Then, we cleared it out and the renovations began!



A new window was installed, new ceiling, a fan (which Kevin did by himself!) and new paint....carpet replaced the tiles.

Then, we had some help from Tom to move the furniture one weekend.




A trip to the store for a new bedspread and some fabric for a curtain (and coordinating pillow!) and it's almost done!



We'll be hanging up some pictures and I'd like to do something fun with different frames and items under the window (since we don't have the mirror attached to our long dresser anymore).  

Now the room upstairs is being converted into a nursery! I'll post pictures of that soon :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
