we finally got our flor tiles for the finishing touches on clementine’s nursery! the rug really ties the room together. our good friend debbie also loaned us this folk art painting by mose tolliver. it was recently included in the “we are folk” exhibit at the hudgens center where gub works. it’s perfect for the [...]

we are almost done with the nursery, as the baby could arrive anyday now… gub is 38 weeks along, so just two weeks away from our due date. we are adding some final touches to the nursery… gub made some paper garland using red and white baker’s twine and two different sized circular die cutters. [...]

the little one is coming soon…. less than three weeks to go, so we washed all of our baby clothing and bedding this week! in doing so, we were also able to see what we have and what we still need for clothing. she will be a well-dressed little newborn! we also hung our baby [...]

so… we ended up putting the crib back under the window where we had it in the very beginning. it leaves more open space in the center of the room, which we think will be better. we also got a new hanging lamp for the corner over the file cabinet, which brightens the room quite [...]

we’ve been so busy being showered and transforming that we’re super late on our weekly nursery transformation post… sorry! anyways, we are still playing around with room arrangement and haven’t settled for sure on having the crib in the middle of the room, but that’s where it is now. gub’s mom had this neato bedding [...]

we accomplished several things on our list this weekend… we finally made the roman shade for the nursery window as well as a cushioned seat cover for the built in bench. both were made from this cute fabric we purchased a while ago from whipstitch, an amazing fabric store here in town. we’ve included some [...]

we finished installing our shelves and started filling them with the treasures we have collected and received as gifts. our friend kristen hosted an amazing baby shower for us this past weekend at her shop treehouse kid & craft in athens. she has the most beautiful things in her store and our friends and family [...]

we had big ambitions for this weekend, but things went a bit slower than we had hoped… it always seems to work that way. anyway, we did manage to tackle the shelves. ryan installed them several years ago, but the paint on the brackets needed to be touched up and they hadn’t ever been sanded [...]

this was a particularly productive week, as we are rapidly approaching the due date with just nine weeks to go now. we said a sad goodbye to the green sectional sofa. hope it finds a happy new home via decatur estate. we selected a paint color and painted the nursery!!! special thanks to gub’s mom [...]

as mentioned before, the nursery transformation involved relocating ryan’s record collection to the living room. we also decided we’d like a sofa with arms that we could curl up and watch a movie on, so we ended up getting this bright yellow parlor sofa from cb2. we lucked out and were able to purchase a [...]
