Progress is happening little-by-little in the nursery makeover!  

After attacking the laundry room I used the momentum to organize the nursery closet.  It’s nothing to behold, but it is organized with room to spare!  We’re going to add a second rod to hang clothes on and then it should work swimmingly for 2 kiddos.  (The nice thing about a circa 1970’s condo is the big rooms and big closets!)

And I’ve been able to accomplish some fun projects too!  The drapes are finished:

I sewed my usual tab-back pleated drapes, which are sooo easy and look lovely.

And my dad and I finished the bed a while back (Little M loves it!).

We based it on this tutorial from Design Mom - with a few size adjustments, a bit of free-styling (‘cause that’s how I roll), and I created a tufted headboard.

I also have the rug, which I’ll try out this week in the room.

What else is on the to-do list?

• Create some pretty bedding for the crib (skirt, fitted sheet, small quilt perhaps)
• Sew some pillow cases for throws and bolsters
• Create a fabulous and cheap new mobile for above the crib
• Paint the side table and change table (I’m opting for cream rather than red… just feeling like I need them to blend and let all of the colourful and patterned fabrics be the “pop” in the room.)
• Switch out some artwork and arrange it

…and I think that’s it!  T-minus 64 days until Baby #2!
