Mud Room

Check out the handy and lovely new storage shelf that Blake built for us! Now guests have a place to stow purses and coats. And then I found baskets at the dollar store, so all our hats and gloves and scarves are readily available, and the dog washing supplies are out of sight :).

Baby Room

I sewed my first fitted sheet - and it worked!

The cabinet with shelves.

Our remodel guy.

Curtains, sheets, shelves and wainscoting - now all we need is a little more paint!

The first coat of paint : )

Blake has been building some 'closet' storage for our baby's room. He's got unit 1 pretty much done - the top drawer is a handy changing station that locks open so I won't accidentally lean on it and shut the little one inside... and the Base conceals a handy hidden drawer for extra storage. There will be four shelves on top. Note the super-stylish face frame (I just showed him a Crate & Barrel catalogue, and he said 'no problem'!). 

Meanwhile, I've been painting. We found the perfect creamy, sunny yellow. The lower half of the wall will be panelling that matches the white trim, and then will come curtains, furniture, bedding, etc. What fun!
