We have gotten quite a bit decided and some things executed in the past 2 weeks.... which seems like the past 15 minutes! We ordered the cribs and dressers (which arrived into Idaho Falls today and we are so grateful for good help from my dad to help us retrieve them) and the special order dresser, glider and ottoman and all the conversion kits and mattresses are ordered! Those should be here in a few more weeks.
We ordered fabric (thanks to my decorating consultant, Nana Anna, for her input, vision and help) and took an old friend to lunch to help us make up our minds in tying everything together. He will go with us to pick paint colors once the fabric for the bedding arrives next week. There is 30 lbs of fabric coming - according to the UPS tracking number. Making the bedding seems like we are taking on A LOT of extra pressure and work - but it will literally save us $700. So - let's dust of the sewing machine!!!
We switched the rooms around for the office and nursery to accommodate two cribs and moved the office / entertaining closet out into the office closet. It is amazing to me how quickly "stuff" can accumulate! The "new" office is smaller but cosy and actually looks finished and the nursery was empty this morning other than some new hangers, a little stack of generous gifts we have received already and after this afternoon will have some furniture in it. We still need to paint - which will be an adventure in and of itself! Wish us luck!
These photos from today are good reminders of our progress!
