Nearly Done...

Well, we finally have the rooms and most all of the boys' stuff in their new rooms. I still have a lot of finishing to do, but for the most part we are good to go when B4 comes.
 First off I had a little bit of refinishing to do on Braden's bed. It has been in storage since we put them in bunks when we had Brenner. Luckily, only the foot board took the brunt of his toddlerness and the rest just needed a good scrub down.
 Here's Braden's new (Brenner's old) room. I have to put a few more accessories up, but it is basically done.
 We even let him put the old PS2 in there. I have to paint that little desk, but that is a project I'll tackle when it isn't 120* out.
 I have to pat myself on the back. You see when we took my office apart, there were quite a few marks on the walls from heavy things I had hanging. Couple that with not having any decor to put in the baby's new (Brenner's current, and my old office) and I had to get crafty. Two trips to Hobby Lobby and a visit with my sis in law's Cricut and here was the result.
The baby's name, when we finally pick one, will go above the crib, and I am toying with the idea of a large vinyl saying from Dr. Suess's "Oh the Places You'll Go" along the top of this wall.
And finally, the fate of my precious pink scrapbook bookcase. It is gonna stay where it is- but I found a super cute bold stripe fabric to make a slipcover for it. Saves me having to sand, prime and paint it when we still aren't sure what to do with it. Oh yea. and I have to boy up the shelf. No more roses and hearts LOL. But I can rest at night without feeling frantic about getting it all done. Now it is just the small stuff. Now my nesting is being focused on our room and downstairs.... Yikes.

I love your impromptu artowk! The rooms look great. And I love that Dr Seuss book so whatever quote you use from it I'm sure will be awesome!

Can you invite me at raffertyhouse@gmail.com? I'm sick of not being able to check your blog when I click in my droid's reader...when I got a smartphone it changed all of my google logins :)
