DIY kid

266838346642027568_sVYGy6r3_f

it's been a while folks. Reason being...... I've been busy making a child. And I can't spray paint. And there's very little motivation to sit down and blog after you've projectile vomited ice water all over your bathroom floor. However, I think I've finally hit the stage where everyone goes "oh it's so wonderful and you feel great". Just took a while. Making a kid is hard work. It's like the hardest "do it yourself" project I think I'll ever do, but  project DIY kid is officially underway, with only about 100 days to go (which is insane).

I'm about 6 1/2 months along, feelin groovy, and nesting like a bird on crack.

We're in the midst of re-doing the guest room to make it into a nursery. I'm going off these pics as inspiration. Enjoy

We are going to have a daybed in the nursery thanks to my amazing in-laws (this one: Ballard designs camden day bed). I've heard from many a momma it's a must have when you need to conk out after a midnight feeding/atomic diaper change/etc)

I believe the room above was decorated by my step mother's step mother, Leta Austin Foster (figure that one out), who has a great blog called www.decoratingwithsheets.com

as you can tell we're going for that hodge podge brilliantly thrown together type of look. All wrapped up in monkey fabric (you'll see what I mean in the weeks to come)
