Name Poll

Here are just a few of the names were considering (and some we’re not just to keep it fun). E-mail us (e-mail link on the About Us page) and let us know which names you like (if any!). Can you spot the phonies? Be careful, we’re sensitive!

Wallace, Lars, Bodie, Cal, Atticus, Tor, Horace, Grady, Austin, Sly, Leif, Howard, Jeremy, Kyle, Olaf, Ivar.

Glider!

We finally bought a glider! It was easy to put together and the blue cushions almost match our curtains. I sat in it this afternoon and read for 30 minutes. It’s comfortable and we look forward to rocking the baby to sleep!

Wallies And Curtains Up!

You can see the ABC wallies in the picture. They were pretty easy to put up -- I did all the Bs on one wall first and then would put the As and Cs in their place. The Cs were the toughest.

Our original plan was for green curtains, but, as you can see, we went with blue. We haven’t decided yet if we will keep them or return them and go with green. Feel free to e-mail us with your comments (click the Email Me button on the About Us page). I think if we add a little more blue to the room it will be fine -- pictures with blue mats, white baskets with blue gingham liners, etc.

You can’t really see it in the pictures, but the finials are green gingham.

Next: remove the curtains and paint the window sill white.

Painting Complete!

Finally!

Well, it’s not really all done. I still have to go back and touch-up all my mistakes, but the big painting is over!

I did the peach color Superbowl weekend -- the first coat Saturday afternoon and the second coat Sunday morning. I finished just in time to clean-up and go to a Superbowl party at my neighbor’s.

I think the two colors look great together. The ABC wallies (next weekend) and the window treatment should really make the room look good.

Ignore the lower three drawer pulls on the dresser -- they will soon be replaced. I bought the top two knobs on eBay. They are pottery barn animals that match the bedding.

Work on the nursery continues

Marc has been working on the nursery for the past several weekends. After putting up the picture rail and casing the window, he painted the wall green above the picture rail.  This weekend, he’s added the lower color - peach. It’s a cute combination with the warmer peach and the cooler green that pulls out colors from the bedding. Once he’s done painting, we can move the furniture back in the room. The only big items left to buy for the nursery are a rocker and the window treatment. Then, we’ll add some “ABC” letters as a wallpaper border and do some other small things. Then, all we need is the baby to finish the room!
