Etsy love


"Wise Owl" I LOVE this print I found on Etsy. I ordered it for the nursery and I am so excited about it! It just makes me want to make up stories about his whimsical adventures.

A little rearranging will take place, I'm sure, but I love it.

( print ordered from THIS Etsy shop )

Room for baby

Several months ago, I found this old dresser at a flea market and knew it would someday have a spot in my home. Ever since we found out about baby, I have been anxious to refinish it.


It started out a nasty pinkish/tan color, had some structural issues and was pretty dirty, but I convinced Hubby to take care of all that for me.


I painted the dresser white and the drawers an aqua/blueish. Still haven't found cute knobs, but hopefully I'll stumble across perfect ones somewhere.


Perfect fit for all his things! And most everything I used was left over, so total cost was about $12 at most. I'm sure I'll make up for that with knobs...

Food cravings: Fruit. I want all fruit, all the time. And still popsicles.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach.
What I am looking forward to: Deciding on nursery stuff.
Weekly Wisdom: note to self: invest in pee pee tee pees. :)
Milestones: Find out baby's a boy. I think he's going to look like daddy.
