LBG's Nursery - Part 2

Here is the mood board I created for LBG's nursery. This is what it has looked liked in my head for a while now and I stumbled on a way to put it together, before it is actually put together. Now I need to get to work.

Oh Emory!

So here are Emory's suggestions for her little sister's name.

Auntie Becca
Uncle Ky-ule
Everett
Cinderella

Her current favorite (and the one I think we might go with) is Blue Golf. What do you think, we could have a BBG and a BGG?

The other day she asked if she could go in my belly to get LBG and bring her out.

LBG's Nursery - Part 1

I shouldn't be showing you this, but here goes. This room has been sitting empty, kind of, since we moved in last year. We set up the crib when we moved in for a very special visitor and it has since been used for naps by the younger siblings of several of BBG's playmates. Otherwise, the room hasn't been touched except as a place for me to hide outgrown clothes and other (breakable)things that a two year old shouldn't have easy access to.

Thankfully, Eric recently overhauled the closets in this room and the guest room as well as adding more shelves in the garage. All of this stuff is slowly finding a new, more appropriate home.

I was planning on making this two different posts but seeing as how we are getting down to the wire, you get to see what else we've been up to. Here is my wonderful Craigslist find. I searched daily to find a dresser that was in good condition as well as the right size and style. Just when I was ready to give up and go to Ikea, I found it. The only problem was that it was a honey oak stain with firetruck drawer pulls. I was more than willing to paint it white to match the crib and it gave me the perfect excuse to use these. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

We were also able to get the room painted, which you will get to see a little better in a later post.

29 (again)

Eric celebrated his 29th birthday for the 4th time yesterday. Emory had a blast helping him celebrate. We are celebrating all weekend with E Fest, which started Wednesday with Cinco de Mayo and will continue through Saturday night. As I type, he is playing hooky from work and trying out his new golf clubs. I hope he has a wonderful birthday weekend, he deserves it. Eric, we love you very much!

I also need to wish my Momma a very happy birthday. I'm glad we got to celebrate with you a little early.

Coming soon - pictures and the story of our recent trip to Tennessee.
