Nesting

Our house has been a constant project.  It started well before we were married.  Gene purchased his grandparent old house and had visions of turning into a quaint little bungalow on the outskirts of town.  It became his passion, and then our passion.

But life had other plans.  The unexpected lay off.  The start up of new business.  The expense of making a baby.  House projects got put on hold.  We finally felt we were at a comfortable point and started things up again. 

A few weeks ago a contractor started reworking our stairs and finishing the trim in the downstairs.  It couldn't have come at a better time in the pregnancy.  I had the energy every day to help clean up the mess and rearrange everything.  It also meant we could start doing Abby's room.  Paint when up, furnishings started to be purchased.  I had the urge and it was STRONG!

The contractors are gone, but there is still somethings for us to complete.  Things need a new coat of paint. Things (lots of things) need touch up paint.  The bookcases aren't complete yet, but will be soon, and then the living room will be done.

Abby's furniture came in last night.  The crib is in pieces waiting to be set up.  The dresser is in its spot.  The glider is still in the box.  I'm hoping this weekend, all things will come together.  All the bedding arrived.  I can't wait to hang curtains and get the crib skirt on the bed.  I can't wait to start arranging nick knacks and organizing diapers, wipes, and other little baby things. 

I can start looking back at my pinterest page and pick out projects that I pinned for her room. 28 down, 12 to go.
