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. [...]

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 [...]

we assembled the crib, bought a mattress, and found a fun curtain panel to go over the closet door. next on the list: 1. make the new roman shade out of this fun fabric we found at whipstitch, 2. find a new home for the sectional sofa, 3. select a paint color & paint… – [...]

so, part of the nursery transformation project included relocating ryan’s rather extensive record collection from the old media room to the living room. the old media room shelves now house my fabric and we got a new ikea shelf for the records… it’s musical chairs around here! we’ve included some “before” photos of the living [...]

so far, we have moved the big worktable from the old office into its new home (hiding the flat file underneath), relocated gub’s fabric collection and moved the old card catalogue. we also set up ryan’s record collection in the living room. getting the nursery emptied out was great! except we now have our prized [...]

in order to make room for our expanding family, we are turning our old office / work room / studio into the new baby’s room. since both sets of grandparents live out of town, we opted to keep our only guest bedroom in tact so they can come visit. we are playing a bit of [...]
