When we
first moved into our house (almost two years ago), CJ’s nursery was, well, just
blue. We had a rather sizable ‘to do’
list for her room that we were hoping to finish up before she was born.
Install board and batten Paint walls gray Paint board and batten white - Make curtains
and put up curtain rod

JD and I did
the board and batten ourselves (while I was 9 mos preggo I must add),
we had painters paint, my mother and I worked
on the chair (it still has a tiny bit more to do), she also helped me with the
curtains,

I added the blackout lining to two of them (again, one more to do), I
found a great rug off of craigslist, my good friend Heather painted/distressed
a nightstand for us, I found a closet of sorts for CJ’s clothes off of
Cragislist (JD
thinks knows I’m addicted),
 |
| I added a rod for clothes |
and finally JD helped me install a
chandelier I picked up at a garage sale a few years ago.

I have been
in love with this chandelier since I bought it.
I actually have two and bought them both for $10.
I’ve had to do a little
tweaking…..re-wire….prime….paint….etc.
One is, of course, in CJ’s room and the other I wired to be a lamp and
is sitting in my hobby room waiting on me to find the perfect spot for it.
I am loving
the chandelier in the nursery and can’t wait to finish up the rest of the ‘to
do’ list.
