Nursery Update

So... ***sigh***... long day. My mom (a.k.a. "world's best seamstress") came by today to help work on the curtains. I'll have her post her own run-down of how this went to help you DIY'ers. My brain hurts thinking about how long we worked on them today and she'd already spent a day on them 2 weeks ago.

But, from the moment Nash went down for a nap until 4:00pm we (she) sewed away.

Anyways, we had a little help from Nash:

And then he'd get distracted. Here's where I found him (note him trying to take a picture of me):

Back to the room... Here's where we stand: tomorrow I have hopes of starting on his crib skirt which is an important part of the decor; it's where the color scheme comes together.  My mom is insisting I sew this.  For those of you who don't know - I. don't. sew. So, that's a work in-progress. Also, I'm working on getting some interesting lighting up. My house isn't filled with, what I call, "custom lighting". Everything is in the realm of lamps.  So, for the nursery, I'm looking to bring it to another level with some light pieces. I'm hoping to get this pendant light I bought from IKEA up over the edge of the dresser to assist in nighttime diaper changes and a floor lamp next to the rocker. In time. Also, the rocker is naked! The slipcover we used, while getting through those late nights with Nash, needs some repair. Hopefully, we'll see that in there this week too. I'm also chewing on some rug options and some art options... oh and the shelves.  They've been purchased but just need some TLC to get them up on the wall.  More to come, but here we are as of 8:01pm tonight.  :)
