Hudson's Nursery!

The walls have been painted, curtains made, art work hung, light fixture changed, crib and dresser sanded, painted, moved in, and put back together, and all the clothes have been sorted, washed, and put away!!! Wow... as you can tell, we have been rather busy around here!

All I can say is that it feels so good to have it all done and ready to go.

I have to give a shout out to my wonderful husband who spent hours and hours helping me get this room ready. He even took a few days off of work in order to finish the furniture!

Thanks so much, babe! I love it and I know Hudson will too! You are the BEST!



I love this scripture verse. I decided to put it right above his dresser!

This old dresser was used for storage in a closet downstairs. It needed quite a bit of work in order for it to be useful again. I so wish I would have taken a "Before" picture because it's hard to truly appreciate how great it looks now if you didn't see it "Before".

Now all we need is... HUDSON!!!!

more mistreatments...

I've had so much fun mistreating the windows in my house. The dining room windows have been on my "to do" list for a while now, but it seems like other things have taken priority. Well, this week I finally got around to making them.

One of my biggest problems was finding a fabric that matched my bright yellow walls. This fabric is also in my kitchen, but who says you can't use it in two rooms. I searched and searched for anther fabric that would go, but nothing looked right with the yellow walls. The other issue was that I only have this one window in my dining room and it's right up against the wall. I only did one panel because I was afraid that two might be too much!
I had enough fabric leftover, so I made a few pillows for my dining room chairs.
~Another project crossed off the "to do" list!!!

My window mistreatments...

I've been very open and honest on my blog about my love and slight obsession for The Nesting Place. She has such great, practical home decorating ideas! This week I have given some of her ideas a try. I made rodless mistreatment's for the playroom and the boys room.

Here are the playroom mistreatments. I still have to add some fringe to give them that finished look.

And here is the boys room...

I am so happy with the way they turned out! They are definitely not perfect, but as the nester always says..."It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful." Now as soon as I find some fabric for the dining room, I'll be mistreating that room too. I can't wait!
