change

From this to this:

small updates

We rearranged in Miles' room.

fan-tastic

Relaxing in bed before a hard day of chores.


Soon-to-be-former light fixture.


Safety first.


Reading the manual.


Still reading the manual.


"Huh??"


Supervising.


Boxes. Still exciting.


The fan.


The fan in action.


Uh oh. Guess we have to go back to the manual...

batter up

Or rather, bat up. Miles received this gift from one of Gramma's favorite clients shortly after he was born. 19 months ago. And I've just now hung it up.  That's right, we move quickly around here. Quick like glaciers...

switcheroo

New dresser for Miles:



And the old one moves to the living room:

the makeover continues

I found the dandelion decal on Etsy, and we switched the trio of pictures (also from Etsy) to the opposite wall. We originally hung the mobile (again, Etsy) over the crib, but Miles liked it too much and got all riled up when he was supposed to be napping. It seems to work better to distract him on the changing table. The cross stitch was a gift from Dad's friends Zeke and Barbara, and it matches perfectly.

Eventually we'll get a slipcover made for the rocker, and hang curtains for the closet. The fun never ends!

good day, sunshine

We hadn't yet decorated the nursery beyond a few pictures, and with Gramma and Papa back in town, now was our chance.

We started with paint - Morning Sunshine, by Benjamin Moore. I was going for more of a Sharp Cheddar orange, but Chachi preferred something lighter, so we ended up closer to Kraft Singles orange. I think it still looks good, and Miles approves.

Here's the pro in action:

turkey's room

And speaking of the old guestroom, it's still coming together as Turkey's room, but we're getting there. The rug we ordered was too small, so back to square one there.

The crib we're going to borrow is still in use, and we'll be using the bassinet for a while anyway. We bought curtains, but need to launder them before they go up. I'm not sure if my little desk will work as a table, but we'll try it for now.

But, unlike in other rooms, we do have art!
