Luca's Big Girl Room!

To celebrate our first poo-poo on the potty, Luca finally got her big girl bed that Papa built her (plans from the amazing Ana White.) Bedding is Dwell Studio from The Mini Social

Master Bedroom Re-Do

And we're done. For now. We've moved into this house full-time (for now) and moved into the master bedroom, plus have baby #2 on the way. He'll be going in the closet-nursery for the time being - I'll post pictures of that later.

Here's the before, right about the day we moved in. Note the carpet and bare, white-contractor-paint walls:

And the after, a mere 3.5 years later:

The wall unit is actually two pieces from Ikea, with the Hemnes connector over the TV. Susie did the tile around the electric fireplace, of course. Here's the added storage from those cabinets:

More to come

Due to come exciting news, we have started work on the Master Bedroom. Details to follow. New flooring, paint, baseboards, and a wall unit all to come.

And in more exciting new, check out my new project: http://babydealsdujour.com It's but a babe now, but the final touches are being, well, finalized.

Mother's Day Project

Most moms go to brunch, get some flowers, maybe relax. My mom builds things. I roped her into this one against her will but she rocked it. Still need to stain / varnish them all but you get the idea. Total cost ~$170 after all the trips to Ace (THANK YOU MICHAEL. See, you get credit. In public. So there.)

Four tables in one weekend. Phew! I'm thinking they're too nice for the basement of a vacation home.



End tables:


Console - obviously in process of being stained!




Inspired by the Hyde line at Pottery Barn. Plans from Knock-off Wood.

Master Bedroom Bath is Done

Nana strikes again with her mad tiling skills. (With a shout out to Jaja for his plumbing skills.)
