weekend of projects

This past weekend the hubs and I worked on our long to-do list. He spent his time working on the nursery and I'm so happy that it's almost finished. He's been working so hard! Here's what he has to do:

rip out carpet

tear down sheet-rock

rewire electrical

scrape popcorn off ceiling

put up new sheet-rock

mud and sand

prime

paint cream base coat on walls and ceiling

paint red circus tent stripes on ceiling

install new ceiling fan

install wood flooring

paint trim/crown molding/baseboards

install trim/crown molding/baseboards

caulk

put up wall paper border

I won’t lie; I was a bit worried it would all get done in time. I really had prepared myself for Q to be sleeping in a pack & play in our room for a little while. The hubs has done an awesome job and I’m so proud of him. The nursery definitely makes my heart happy. Now I need to get going on my list!

sew curtains

sew crib bedding

sew rocking chair pads

find vintage circus posters to frame {I think I found them!}

paint his name or some sort of circus scene on a canvas

move all baby items into the nursery

Currently there are baby items scattered throughout the entire house. I’m very ready to get everything in Q’s room and organized.

in the living room

and in the guest room!

I've been taking pictures of the nursery progress and plan to do a huge reveal post when it's all complete. Until then this is the only sneak peak I can offer.

nursery curtains

I got on a curtain kick this weekend and decided to make the topper for the guest room. I've probably had the fabric for 6 months now ha! I also recovered the vanity stool with the same fabric to make it match.

While it was a very productive weekend, there's still plenty left on our lists!
