Two Down & Counting

Finally, finally, finally . . . all our pre-babes projects are going from ideas, to halfway there, to (ta dah!) complete. Here are some pics from our first two completed projects!!

First up, the oh-so-important glider, a must (so I hear) for any new mom! Exercising the recessionista in me, I found a glider that was full of potential, on craigslist for only 20 smackeroos! A little paint, some new cushions, and a darling pillow from Dwell Baby & we've got ourselves the cutest little glider on the block! I can't wait to show you how this ties into the completed nursery design!

Our next project was a little more daunting, but even more important for mom & dad. Since Brad & I are (happily) giving up our current office to the baby . . . after all he deserves a space of his own . . . we needed a little place of our own to do all those important grown up things like pay bills, read blogs, online shop, you know . . . important things! So we gave our only space available, the laundry room (aka: laundry nook!) a make over. We still need to cute it up a bit, but the overall idea is complete, and as a surprise to both Brad & I, we LOVE the space! Sometimes less really is more!

After:

The absolute best part about the space is that when it's not in use we can just shut the doors and all the chaos is magically hidden. A MUST when your home is 1,000 square feet huge :)!

Stay tuned, with baby Sliger's birthday only 10 short weeks away, we'll (hopefully) be finishing projects like crazy!
