  • I’m working on organizing my new space.
    Org-3
    I’m having a slow time of it since someone is not sleeping as of late:
    Org-1
    Also her “help” is not always so helpful.

    I made a scale drawing of the cabinets and all the things that are going in them before they came (of course). But I got more shelves than I thought and I still need some more containers so that’s slowing me down. But the real problem?
    Org-4
    In my bid to be mother of the year I bought the most shiny, fragile and sharp knobs in existence. Two have broken already, one when no one was in the room (what?!?!). They are mercury glass, but still I think if you make knobs out of something that they should be able to handle the pressure of a drawer being pulled open. Le sigh.
    I won’t get finished pictures of the space up until after the weekend, as I have the first birthday party to get together. But when I do would you like sources? I’d be happy to list them, but won’t bother if there is no interest. Next post is my 1,000!!!! Crazy! A look back plus a fun giveaway so stay tuned.

  • I loooooove it.

    Done-2 

    (No idea what the bubbles are from in the picture). Trim, doors with glass, side panels, and knobs tomorrow. I still need to make the curtains, hang a bunch of things and ORGANIZE MY CRAP. Whoo hoo!

  • A quick post with terrible pictures to show you the before. 

    New room-2 

    and

    New room-3 

    Hopefully by this afternoon it will be much much different. Lots of love to my brother who got an electrician here last night to help move plugs, thank you so much Brent!!!

    While the professional works downstairs we'll be up here:

    New room-1 

    We'll see if the room gets better or worse as we hang out here all day. ๐Ÿ™‚
