Jonas' Nursery

Here it is, the big reveal of our little man's room. It was so fun to gather things for his small space and also a bit of a challenge since the room is so darn teeny. As you can see there isn't a theme but just an overall cheery feeling and lots of animal friends.

I hope he loves his room!

Any questions about sources, ask me and I will answer in the comments.

(But the big rug is from Urban Outfitters :) )

Happy Friday!

Can you believe we are in the first weekend of April, already? This year is just flying by. 

Here's to a happy, sunny Easter weekend for everyone!

See you Monday.

Nothing wrong with being a little vain

Head on over to my girl Jackie's blog to peep my vanity!  Be sure to check Sweetie Pie Pumpkin Noodle all this week for more on her new blog series all about that pretty little corner of the room.

At last, a guest bedroom reveal

We moved into our house March 2009 and here it is September 2010 and the guest bedroom is 80% finished. How do you like that? Clearly other areas of the house have been more important. And we have had a few brave guests in the unfinished guest room, but now it is ready for anyone.

Before.

After!

We painted one wall a bright color, Jon installed crown molding and we had a chandelier hung. 

And now I smile every time I walk past this room. There are a lot of things I am planning on adding, like a proper headboard, bed skirt to cover up that box spring, a great rug and maybe an armchair.

DIY Nightstand

I am so happy with how this turned out. I have to say though, this project was not cheap. The nightstand itself is very well made and with tax came to $50. It is hard to find nightstands that are tall enough these days, which is why I splurged. And with hardware from Resto ($38) and paint ($6), it brings the total up to the actual cost of a brand new nightstand. Only, I don't know where to buy something as rad as this.
